It pairs well with the memory notes in "On Narrative and Memory" and with public-domain reading from Project Gutenberg's fiction shelves.

The useful takeaway is practical: structure is not decoration after the fact. It is one of the ways a story decides what the reader is allowed to know, when they are allowed to know it, and what that knowledge costs.
