Flashback-Effect 

The flashback-effect is a situation at which one reads something and pictures it in his or her mind with the blurry border, as if it were a scene in a television show and the protagonist were encountering a flashback.
My brother Landon would be twenty-two in a couple days if it weren’t for the shooting right next to where I was sitting. He always came to the skate park with his best friends Cameron and Liam when we were all little kids, and he went boasting to our family about his marvelous skateboarding skills. He started going at age twelve, but he was utterly forced to stop at age eighteen by the bullet that stroke straight between his eyes. . . . If you guys are getting the flashback-effect when reading the part about Landon, picture him as Colin Ford kay?

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
