Essays / 'the advantages of telling a story using non-linear fashion' - ideas to get started! [2]

Explain the advantages of telling a story using non-linear fashion.

So far all I can think of is the use of time travel. Without a non-linear fashion, this would not be possible.
Possibly also something like, the reader is given the overall story idea whenever the author wants, but without reading the whole story, it will not make sense. Which may keep the reader hooked.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Norm
