Chronology

and 

Theme

Chronology

The arrangement of events or dates in the order of their occurrence.

Flashbacks interrupt the chronological order of the main narrative to take a reader back in time to the past events in a character’s life.

Flashforward is a literary device in which the plot goes ahead of time

External conflict:

* character vs. character

* character vs. society

* character vs. nature

* character vs. technology

Internal conflict:

* character vs. self

Plot 

First, let's look at what actually happens:

Create a story arch on the plot itself (external)

Inciting inc.	Sees an abandoned buggy
Rising action/crisi	The walk is difficult, he gets wet
Climax	The buggy is empty
Falling action	Returns the buggy to the mother
Resolution	Calls his son and lies

Emotional arch

Now, let's look at what happens on the inside of our narrator.
The emotionl story arch, let's say. 

Create another arch (internal)

The emotional story arch (internal conflict)

Inciting incident	He wants nothing to do with the buggy, he's anxious
Rising action/crisis	Remember his life and feels he doesn't live anymore
