POEM FOR MY GRANDMOTHER When I heard you were sick
You became the little girl
You told me about,
The one who used to hide in the hay In the red and white barn
When it was time
For her to do the dishes.
And I became the little boy
You told those stories to,
And I hid with you in the hay,
Listening to your father’s voice
Calling through the rafters, calling for you When the summertime warmed the hay And the dishes were piling up.

Which best describes the suspense technique of flashback? an image, color, object, or similar is shown early in the film. it later reappears in a pivotal scene or plot point. details of the story outside of the chronological storyline are provided to the audience, often as a memory. illusions of explosions and other events are presented, often using computer-generated imagery to seem realistic. the screenwriter lets the audience know something the main character does not, usually something important to the plot.
