What does the linear plot structure of the excerpt from The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian help the reader understand?

The point of view of the narrator is third person limited through the eyes of Max, a young boy. The voice of the excerpt mirrors that of a young boy's thoughts, which helps the reader see the world through the perspective of a boy who misses his sister and enjoys wrestling with the dog. The choice of narrator also limits what the reader understands and learns to the point of view of Max. The reader see his sister through his point-of-view, but as to what Claire actually thinks, the reader doesn't know. As a result, the reader must examine Max's words carefully to make sure that one is getting the full picture of the story's events, rather than a biased portrayal of a sister with whom Max is upset.
