The reasons why the author uses past tense is because:

1. Past tense allows the author the freedom to jump around the story timelines. It makes it easier for the author to make non-linear stories without necessarily using flashbacks and it makes it powerful and much natural than when using the present tense.

2. The very nature of past tense positions the author at a much a stronger level of being able to paint a whole picture of an event because it allows the author to reflect on the events and vividly describe them through suspense and comprehension
