The importance of time is brought out in the story narration by Forster. He explains that in a story, an essential part is time. Even if it looks dull, according to the author, he asks us to consider it first in connection with daily life. He says that daily life is full of time sense. One can think about any situation in daily life, even by going beyond the time sequence. A person can think of situations from the past or from the future without going by sequence or strict order. One does this based on the value one attaches to a situation in particular. According to Forster, in other words, daily life has two lives – life by values and life in time. A strong connection is revealed by this conduct. The story recites life in time, according to the author. One can contradict the existence of time and act correspondingly in our daily life. In the case of the story, the denial of time sense is not possible or becomes unintelligible. Many experiments done by the novelists and storytellers in which they narrated the events without following the time sequence are mentioned by the essayist. Anyhow, these experiments did not sway the readers. A story is the basis of a novel, according to the essayist, and is a narrative of events in time sequence.
