Silent Read 15 min Non-Linear Timeline A non-linear timeline is when events are presented out of order , often jumping between past and present. The narrative may switch back and forth between different time periods, characters, and locations, rather than following a strict progression from beginning to end. In non-linear storytelling, the structure is more fragmented and episodic, and the reader is required to piece together the timeline as they go along.

Examples of Non-Linear Timeline Techniques : Flashbacks Flash-forwards Interwoven narratives from different time periods or characters Example in Into the Wild : Jon Krakauer's book doesn’t follow a straightforward "this happened, then that happened" approach. Instead, he jumps between McCandless’s final journey in Alaska (1992), his earlier life, his travels around the U.S., and reflectio...
