If an author wanted to begin a story in a manner that broke with chronology and grabbed the reader's attention, that author might

a) start at the beginning of the story, and tell it through to the end, in the order of what happened.

b) establish the main character at the beginning of the story, and then continue through the middle and to the end.

c) start with a dramatic event near the middle of the story, then discuss the things which led up to it.

d) start with a basic description of all of the main characters' physical features, and then tell what happened from the beginning to the end.
