The document discusses the key elements of a plot structure including exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution. It provides definitions and examples for each element. The rising action is described as a series of events building up to the climax. The example given is Jack and Rose meeting on the Titanic. The climax is when the ship hits an iceberg and splits in two. In the falling action, passengers wait for lifeboats and the resolution occurs when Rose is rescued.

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;
as they relate to each other through cause and effect; how the reader views the
story; or simply by coincidence.
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_(narrative)
 In my own words: It is a series of events that form the story in a novel, movie, etc.
 My example: Titanic, the ship of dreams. Is also known as unsinkable, and it was
unsinkable on its departure on April 10th, 1912. And on its epic journey, a poor artist
named Jack Dawson and a rich girl Rose DeWitt Bukater fall in love, until one night,
their fairy tale love for one another turns into a struggle for survival on a ship about
to founder to the bottom of the North Atlantic. Rose leaves her fiancé Caledon
Hockley for this poor artist, but when the Titanic collides with the iceberg on April
14th, 1912, and then when the ship sinks on April 15th, 1912 at 2:20 in the morning,
Jack dies and Rose survives and 84 years later Rose tells the story about her life on
Titanic to her granddaughter and friends on the Keldysh and explains the first sight
of Jack that falls into love, then into a fight for survival. When Rose gets saved by
one lifeboat that comes back, they take her to the Carpathia with the six saved
with Rose and the 700 people saved in the lifeboats. The Carpathia immigration
officer asks Rose what her name is and she loved Jack so much she says her name is
not Rose DeWitt Bukater, but her name is Rose Dawson. She seen Cal looking for her,
but he does not see her, and they never ended up together, her mother, Cal and
friends of the family has no choice but to think that she died on the Titanic. But in the
crash of 1929, Cal is married, but then he put a pistol in his mouth and committed
suicide. So Rose is an actress in the 1920s, and now 84 years later Rose Calvert is 100
years old and tells her granddaughter Lizzy Calvert, Brock Lovett, Lewis Bodine,
Bobby Buell and Anatoly Mikailavich the whole story from departure until the death
of Titanic on its first and last voyage, and then to Rose all Titanic and the real love of
her life Jack Dawson is all an existence inside of her memory, and Titanic is to rest in
peace at the bottom of the North Atlantic from 1912 until the end of time.

5. RISING ACTION
 In the rising action, a series of related incidents builds
toward the point of greatest interest. The rising
action of a story is the series of events that begin
immediately after the exposition (introduction) of the
story and builds up to the climax. These events are
generally the most important parts of the story since
the entire plot depends on them to set up the
climax, and ultimately the satisfactory resolution of
the story itself.
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dramatic_structure
 In my own words: Events that happen and lead up
to the climax. The rising action can be a series of
smaller problems or conflicts that help to build up the
plot.
 My example: The Titanic prepares to leave
England for America with Jack and Rose on-board.
Jack stops Rose from committing suicide.

6. TURNING POINT
 Turning point is a time when an important
change happens.
 http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary
 In my own words: a point at which a significant
change occurs.
 My example: Rose's mother, her fiance, Cal, and
Cal's bodyguard try to keep Jack away from
Rose as the two begin to fall in love. The ship hits
an ice berg.

7. CLIMAX
 The Climax or turning point of a narrative work is
its point of highest tension or drama or when the
action starts in which the solution is given.
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climax_(narrative)
 In my own words: The moment of greatest
tension in a story. This is often the most exciting
event. It is the event that the rising action builds
up to and that the falling action follows
 My example: The Titanic splits in two and sinks.

8. FALLING ACTION
 Falling action is defined as the parts of a story
after the climax and before the very end. An
example of falling action is act four in a five-act
play.
 https://www.google.com.ph
 In my own words: It is an events happen as a
result of the climax and we know that the story
will soon end.
 My example: Jack, Rose and the
other passengers wait for lifeboats.

9. RESOLUTION
 The act of finding an answer or solution to a
conflict, problem, etc. : the act of resolving
something.
 http://www.merriam-
webster.com/dictionary/resolution
 In my own words: The character solves the
main problem/conflict or someone solves it for
him or her.
 My example: Rose is rescued and gives her
name as Rose Dawson. As a result, Cal never
finds her again.
