By using flashback, the author takes us from an adult perspective looking back to a time when a life lesson needed to be learned about how we treat people. We all learn life lessons as we grow and change as part of our passage from child to adult. Life lessons teach us about ourselves and our connection to others in the real world. I imagine the author's purpose in using this technique was to bring out this point thereby enhancing the story.
