In a narrative essay how can a writer give background information that clarifies how the conflict arises

Explanation:

A flashback is a scene or event previous to the actual time in the history. It's like remembering, it's often used to give specific details that endow sense to the plot.

In order to achieve a successful flashback, it must have meaning to the plot, and igniting details that are able to catch the attention of the public, also, it must have a nice transition to comeback to the present, without losing sense in the general perspective.

umm duh they in differrnt places

it's like watching a fable, it's not really about the animals but rather it has a meaning that is understood by us and that is implicit, not explicitly said. implicit ideas are common and are used in almost all works of art, from writing to painting to sculpting.
