comment on structure

Howard Fast divides his novel “April Morning” into eight chronological, unnumbered, titled chapters that span the time period between the afternoon of April 18, 1775, and the evening of April 19, 1775. Each chapter is titled with a general time of day (The Evening, The Night, The Morning, etc.). The events of each chapter coincide with that specific time of day. For example, the chapter “The Morning”, taking place on the morning of April 19, 1775, deals with the British attack at Lexington, and its immediate aftermath as Adam, and other members of the Lexington Committee militia, flee for their lives.
