What do you learn about the narrator through the author’s use of flashbacks? Cite text evidence to support your answer.

One thing we learn about the narrator is that it is her use of flashback that inspired her compassion. Her compassion came not during the event, but long after the event was over. When it happened, she suffered a loss of innocence, but comprehension and compassion followed many years later.
