How does Charlotte Perkins Gilman order the events?

Perkins orders the events of the story in sequence, or in the order that they occurred. She uses a basic timeline, and the story is told in the present tense. In other words, the narrator describes the events of the story in true time, as they are happening. The chronology is straight foreward and simplistic, which enables the reader to understand and follow along, as the events unfold.
