I think the author chose to start the book 19 years before the main events of the story so the reader could absorb things. The author technically wanted the reader(s) to understand something before reading the real story.
A supporting detail is used to validate a claim to prove that the claim is indeed true.
A claim on the other hand is a statement made by an author about something which can either be true or false.
Let me give you an example of a claim and how supporting details can be used:
- All tall boys are smarter than shorter boys
- America has a population of 30 million people
- The Earth is round
Now, because i made these claims, i have to provide supporting details to backup this claim.
To do this, i would have to bring reputable sources which contains the figures which would be my supporting details.
I could bring the population figures from an independent reliable source to prove that America indeed has a population of 30 million people.
Please note that your question is incomplete which made me to give you a general overview so that you can understand the concept.
