2. I thought that maybe it may also be good for your comparison between different stories using flashbacks to incorporate a story where the flashbacks are actually harmful to the character instead of eliciting a character transformation. I think this story would help because there are several ways one could interpret the use of flashback in this story.

3. This one's an academic article about how the use of flashback can add drama to a story. Very straightforward and relevant to your thesis.

4. This is an article about the different learning styles children can have; it could help flesh out why the first flashback with Vivian as a child had such an impact on the rest of her life.

5. As cheesy as this source may seem, your last paragraph about Vivian choosing her death because Susie explained the choices reminded me of the verse in the Book of Mormon that says "By small and simple things may great things come to pass." So, what better way to give a comparison for the small kindnesses Susie does for Vivian than to cite that verse and examples in the BoM of small things bringing great results?

Thanks so much! I like how you included the child development and Walter Mitty! I would have never thought of those, definitely interesting takes that I will have to look into!
