The document discusses the key elements of a plot or storyline, including the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. It then provides examples from the author's own life experiences to illustrate each element, such as facing conflicts as a student (rising action), a fight with her mother about having a boyfriend (climax), making up with an enemy (falling action), and resolving the fight with her mother (resolution).

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.

challengeable with a start since I was born, there

that I encounter has a solution.

(introduction) of the story and builds up to the
climax.

7. CLIMAX
 The climax is the turning point, which changes the
protagonist’s fate. If the story is a comedy, things will
have gone badly for the protagonist up to this point;
now, the plot will begin to unfold in his or her favor,
often requiring the protagonist to draw on hidden
inner strengths. If the story is a tragedy, the opposite
state of affairs will ensue, with things going from
good to bad for the protagonist, often revealing the
protagonist's hidden weaknesses.

intense was done.

the protagonist and the antagonist unravels,
with the protagonist winning or losing against
the antagonist. The falling action may contain a
moment of final suspense, in which the final
outcome of the conflict is in doubt.

9. RESOLUTION
 The dénouement comprises events from the
end of the falling action to the actual ending
scene of the drama or narrative. Conflicts are
resolved, creating normality for the characters
and a sense of catharsis, or release of tension
and anxiety, for the reader.
 http://www.merriam-

already solve.
 After a few weeks when my mother know that I
have a boyfriend and we don’t talk to each in a
