Understanding Plot Structure
In many stories, the plot is divided into five key parts: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. The exposition introduces the characters and setting. The rising action develops the conflict and builds tension. The climax is the turning point of the story, where the main conflict reaches its peak. The falling action shows the consequences of the climax and begins to resolve the story. Finally, the resolution concludes the story, tying up loose ends.
