This document outlines the typical plot structure of stories, which includes an exposition to introduce characters and setting, a rising action that builds tension through conflict, a climax as the turning point, a falling action to start resolving conflicts, and a denouement to wrap everything up. It notes that dramas portray this plot structure through performance on stage, while short stories rely more on imagination as written works where the author describes the plot elements.
2. `
exposition
This usually occurs at the beginning of a story. The first part of the plot
establishes the main characters/protagonists and setting. We need to know
whos who. Also, when and where the story takes place. At this point, the
reader is just getting to know the world of the story and what its going to be
all about.
3. Rising Action
In this part of the plot, the primary conflict is introduced (if it hasnt been already)
and is built upon to create tension both within the story and the reader,
who should ideally be feeling more and more drawn to the text. The conflict may
affect one character or multiple characters.
4. CLIMAX
This is the turning point of the story. Usually, the main character comes
face to face with the main problem or conflict. It is often the most exciting
part of the story.
5. Falling action
This is where any conflicts that arose as a result of the climax can start
being resolve.
6. denouement
This final plot point is when everything has been wrapped up and the
new worldand the new sense of normalcy for the characters
has been established. The conflict from the climax has been resolved,
and all loose ends have been neatly tied up.
8. In the drama, all its plot structure is shown, acted
and performed in stage or theatre and watch by the
audience. While in the short story more in
imagination, short story is usually fiction and a
written work, the author only explains and describes
the plot structure of the story, especially the
characters and places when and where the story
happened.
