Flashback and flash-forward interrupt the story’s normal sequence of actions and events by sending readers backward or forward in time.
Parallel plot- is a plot that occurs alongside the main plot; the parallel plot is equal in time and importance to the main plot.
Subplot-is a secondary plot or side story, less important than the main plot but complete on its own.
Framing- is used to lead one story or plot into another, with an introductory narrative paving the way for a second or third narrative or an embedded story related as an element of a larger narrative.
