Sometimes Brian's thoughts go back to an earlier time, when he was with his mother. What effect do these "breaks" have on the story?

      it effected him because the more he thinks about the "happy times" with the family. He then thinks about the divorce that his parents had and then that puts a big strain on him.

    Whenever brian starts to think about the earlier time when his family was happy, there are a lot of flashbacks. and every time he thinks about the divorce, his eyes start to burn as if he was about to cry

  4. It leads to something like when he thought about it on the plane he start crying.
    It also adds a dramatic effect to the story. =) - David Chen 705

    Brian now should realize that he should be thinking of a way to live and survive instead of bringing back memories of the past. it just hurts him more and causes him pain.

  6. His thoughts lead to him crying on the plane, or as he says "burning". The memories upset him and he becomes sad. - Mohammad 705

    Every time brian gets a flashback about his family being happy, he cries. He automatically gets sad and gets depressed. And he refers to the secret of his mom starting the divorce. Really, what he should be doing is flying the plane. And thinking on how he is going to survive. So stop crying and fly the plane.!!!!!!!!!!

    Brian shouldn't bring flashbacks that will make him upset. He should think of strategies to survive. Also somehow he should learn how to fly the plain.

  14. These "breaks" gives him a reason to try to survive and that gives him the determination to make it out alive and get back to his mother

    When Brain thinks about him with his mother he starts crying on the plane because he thinks about the divorce.

  16. These breaks remind him about his parents divorce and what he thinks caused the divorce. This is the big secret that he can't tell his dad. These flashbacks make him upset because this is why his mom suddenly divorced with his father. Also, these flashbacks make him very upset.

    The memories that he thinks back into the time where his dad and his mom were still together made him cry on the plane. He also wishes that they never broke up. It also affects his survival, That might motivate him to survive.

    Whenever Brian thinks about his about his parents divorce, i think it might give him hope, to mtry his best to SURVIVE

  36. I agree with the people who said that the breaks that brian has been having reminds him about his mother.This motivates him to survive.I also think that brian should not be thinking about the divorce and should be thinking about finding a spot to land the plane so people can help him get back to his family!!!

  41. The effect that happen in the story,because of his "breaks" ,is that he doesnt pay full attention to what the pilot was telling him. maybe they were going to be useful to him in case of an emergency.

  42. The effect "breaks" in the story enable him to focus. The divorce is what making him upset and the flashback that he had.

    1. Not sure what you mean. How or why is this relevant to the story line?

  44. The flashbacks of/with his mother that Brain encounters at random times in the story, sets a very emotional trigger on himself. For example, when he was in the plane and and his eye was burning to cry because of the constant memory of the divorce and the Secret. The "things" that tore his family apart. Because of these "breaks", Brain becomes constantly depressed and zones himself out and become oblivious to things around him and that is not very safe because of his state of mind and situation currently -Mona Kalika 701

    Brain is having flashbacks which tells you his past with his mother so
    the reader knows the experiences of his life so they can understand what
    happened
