    The flashback episodes are related in that all of them relate to instances that are very intense, and, especially, instances that define the characters and their relationships to one another. Think of how the mother—at the moment of extreme crisis—maintained her calm during the storm. Or think of how she made that final leap to save the narrator's life. Especially, think about how she maintained her calm and character as she did both. That tap on the window at the end, when she seems hesitant—ah! That's good writing that really sums up the mother's character.
