Plot+Triangle

=Plot Triangle=



Above is a copy of the plot triangle (forgive me - I am not the best at using // Paint, //but surely it's an A for effort?!! )


 * Exposition: **
 * Where we are introduced to the characters in the story
 * Setting is also introduced - a dark, stormy night can tell us that something bad is going to happen.


 * Rising Action: **
 * Is where we begin to get clues about what might go wrong in the climax (main part/problem/conflict).
 * Wee problems may happen that get the reader to know that something is going to go wrong.


 * Climax: **
 * This is the part that everything in the story has been leading up to.
 * This is the main problem or conflict in the story. For the story to end satisfactorily, this climax/problem must be sorted, or //resolved//.
 * This should be the part that everyone should most remember in a story.


 * Falling Action: **
 * This is where the big problem begins to get sorted, so that it can be //resolved// in the end in a way that will please the reader.


 * Resolution: **
 * Is where the main problem (climax) is //resolved// (fixed). With the problem being sorted out, the story can end in a way that will please the reader. It will mean that any questions the reader had during the climax should now have been answered in the //resolution//.
