LitCourse 6 How to Read: Plot |
4 |
Plot—structure (classic) Exposition—background information; usually at the beginning, but not always.
Rising Action—series of events involving conflict, which creates tension and suspense. Climax—the peak, or high-point, of tension, a turning point in the action. Denouement—the falling-off of action after the climax; the conflict finds resolution. Conclusion—a wrap-up, sometimes epilogue. |
