Plot+Triangle



Above is a copy of the plot triangle (forgive me - I am not the best at using //Paint!//)


 * Exposition:**
 * Where we are introduced to the characters in the story
 * Setting is also introduced - a dark, stormy night can tell us that something bad is going to happen.


 * Rising Action:**
 * Is where we begin to get clues about what might go wrong in the climax (main part/problem/conflict).
 * Wee problems may happen that get the reader to know that something is going to go wrong.


 * Climax:**
 * This is the part that everything in the story has been leading up to.
 * This is the main problem or conflict in the story. For the story to end satisfactorily, this climax/problem must be sorted, or //resolved//.
 * This should be the part that everyone should most remember in a story.


 * Falling Action:**
 * This is where the big problem begins to get sorted, so that it can be //resolved// in the end in a way that will please the reader.


 * Resolution:**
 * Is where the main problem (climax) is //resolved// (fixed). With the problem being sorted out, the story can end in a way that will please the reader. It will mean that any questions the reader had during the climax should now have been answered in the //resolution//.
