Chronological Order:
Arrangement by the order in which things occur; usually moves past to present.


Example:
"I was born in Tuckahoe, near Hillsborough, and about twelve miles from Easton, in Talbot county, Maryland. I have no accurate knowledge of my age..."
-Frederick Douglass An American Slave

Explanation:
This is the opening lines of An American Slave. This shows that Douglass is telling his story from beginning to present. The point of that is so the reader can get a clear picture of Douglass' life. he wants the reader to know everything he has been through, from start to finish, especially since he had a rough childhood. Douglass wants the reader to see this, and see how his innocence was taken as a child due to slavery. Also chronological order is easier for the reader and less confusing then starting in the middle of his life.
