Why are transitional expressions important?

Explanation:

Transitional expressions function to connect one idea to another between or within sentences and to alert readers to connections between paragraphs or blocks of the text. They are signals that help readers follow the direction of your thoughts as a writer.

may i see the passage?

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
