Answer:In this passage, Stowe is discussing the passage of time. His point -- and the lesson he is trying to teach -- meshes nicely with the technique he uses to get this point across.
Stowe makes the point that when looking back on bad times ("looking back to seasons which in review appear to us as those of deprivation and trial") we often remember that there were moments of happiness ("diversions and alleviations") that prevent us from being totally unhappy.
Stowe is also trying to indicate that time passes almost without our being aware of it. While it is true time passes "a day at a time," days accumulate without our being aware of it. And so, the year will end when it feels it has barely begun. The time jump Stowe uses is a perfect way to illustrate this point.
Although Tom has to live one day at a time, and even though he is not entirely happy, before he knows it "two years were gone." Thus, this time jump allows Stowe to do two things.
First, this time jump has a practical application. This drastic time jump of two years allows Stowe to fast forward quickly in time without describing all the little and unimportant events that happened over the course of two years. (It is enough to know that Tom lived through times of deprivation but had moments of happiness.) Second, this time jump allows Stowe to illustrate the theme of the passage of time that he is discussing in this excerpt.
Explanation:
Mum knew that I had been fighting, and wanted to know what had happened. I froze. My heart flew out of my chest as icy shivers dripped down my face, she could never know the truth, it would kill her. Little did she know I was only trying to protect her, she couldn’t know that everyone knew her biggest secret, it would consume her, make her vanish from existence. As much as I love my mum, I would never follow in her ways, the twisted secrets and broken friendships, it was not a good way to live, but I guess it was her way.
I’m not sure if you’ll like it or what year/grade your in do what’s appropriate but I hope it helps :)
