Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Sarah’s inquiry about the Doctor’s well-being and situation over the telephone (in the plant lab) leads immediately to the plant’s violent disruption of the line—a direct physical manifestation of the Krynoid’s extended control over vegetation."

About Causal Connections

A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
