2. PLOT or STORYLINE
Plot is a narrative (and, traditionally, literary)
term defined as the events that make up a
story, particularly: as they relate to one
another in a pattern or in a sequence.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_(narrative)
In my own words: a series of events that form
the story in a novel
My example: When Lizzie goes to meet her
friend, she runs into Mr. Darcy, who proposes
and Lizzie rejects. She then writes him a letter
telling him why she dislikes him.

5. RISING ACTION
The rising action of a plot is the series of events
that build up and create tension and suspense
http://homeworktips.about.com/od/writingabo
okreport/a/risingaction.htm
In my own words: The rising action is when things
begin to escalate. It takes the reader from the
exposition and leads them towards the climax.
This part tends to be dramatic and suspenseful.
My example: In the case of the story Hansel and
Gretel, the rising action is when the witch put
Hansel into the cage.

6. TURNING POINT
The turning point of a story is when it goes in a
different direction, one which will resolve it. This can
be different things to different types of stories
http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_turning_poi
nt_of_a_story
In my own words: A turning point in a story is, quite
literally, that. It's a point (usually an event) in a book
where the plot/story takes an (sometimes unexpected)
turn, and things change.
My example: Cinderella's fairy godmother gets her to
the ball. Before that event, things were awful for
Cinderella, and she had no hope of getting to the
dance and meeting it prince. After that event,
Cinderella's future markedly improved and she
became able to do lots of things, such as marry her
true love.

7. CLIMAX
the highest or most intense point in the develop
ment or resolution of something
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/climax
In my own words: The climax! When you finally
take a breath after holding it in in suspense. This
is the most emotional part.
My example: The phrase “dead within an hour”
is placed at the very end as it marks the climax
of the fate of beauty which he introduces as “a
vain and doubtful good”.

8. FALLING ACTION
the part of a literary plot that occurs after the cli
max has been reachedand the conflict has bee
n resolved.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/falling+
action
In my own words: Falling Action is when
everything tends to slow down
My example: In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's
Stone, the falling action is when Harry talks to
Dumbledore in the infirmary, the banquet, and the
train ride home.

9. RESOLUTION
Short definition:
Source & hyperlink
In my own words: The resolution. The conclusion.
The end. Whatever you want to call it. But this is
the final part of the story when everything is
wrapped up. Sometimes the story is finished off
completely, answering every reader's question.
Sometimes authors leave mysterious, to intrigue
the reader. Or sometimes authors leave hints of a
sequel.
