Climax

The book The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger is about a boy named Holden Caufield who’s 16 years old (Salinger 21), getting over the fact that he’s just been expelled for his fourth school in the past couple of years. The story takes place in the late 1940’s. The plot is the events that take place in a novel/story. The story begins with Holden just getting his bad news. He doesn’t waste anytime packing his stuff and getting off the campus since he flunked out cause he hated the school and…

hopes of the couple after finding out that their child was born into a different dimension; they kept waiting for doctors to come up with a solution. As time went on tensions got higher and Polly hit here breaking point. The story even refers to the climax as “The big thing.” (Bradbury, Pg 9.) Polly flaunted her “child” to the whole neighborhood which caused quite a ruckus, and then everything went south. "Come back!" Polly waved at them. "Don't you want to see my baby? Isn't he simply…

“The Lottery” is a short story written by Shirley Jackson in the month of June in 1948. The story is about an annual tradition, called the lottery, held in an anonymous small village. All of the villagers gather for the annual event and Mr. Summers conducts a quick roll call. Each one of the residents of the village draws a piece of paper from the black box. As this happens, the villagers start to talk with one another how some nearby villages have stopped following the tradition of the lottery.…

I’m not going to start this story off like any normal story. No, this isn’t some Once-Upon-a-Time sort of thing. This was no ordinary story. But to be honest, I never really knew how to start a story. So, maybe I’ll just start it with an explosion. Yeah, that’s how I’ll do it. An explosion. The explosion wasn’t from a gun, or a bomb. No, it was an explosion of police. The Imperial Crowd Control Force, to be exact. The Imperials were conducting another raid. Normally it wouldn’t be even worth…

For this exercise I am using the final two paragraphs of The Pit and the Pendulum. At the climax of The Pit and the Pendulum, the narrator realises that using reason and rationality in his struggle to avoid death is futile, and so he abandons himself to his instinct as he unwillingly confronts the pit, the symbol of the dark, unknown part of his psyche (just as his cell is representative of his mind).. This confrontation is more terrifying than death and his unexpected rescue is all the more…

The climax served it’s purpose and provided fast paced action within the rebellion, which is what I wanted. The night women got the chance to enact their revenge, which was nice. I got what I wanted and what I expected from the climax. The only thing that displeased me was Lilith protecting Jack Wilkins, but I am glad she did because it eventually provided her a chance to live after the rebellion failed. The conclusion was sad, predictable but fair. I am not sure if I can call the conclusion…

4. What is the climax of the play? Use rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution to explain and support your answer. Be specific. The heartbreaking, war-torn setting of Ruined provides a host of emotional and intense scenes. While we see the characters face many awful situations, the distinct climax of the play is the moment when Salima enters the already-traumatic situation covered in her own blood during act 2, scene 6. This climactic moment is preceded by an exposition that…

The Climax and Resolution in the Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne are two of most the important parts of this story besides the plot of it, the climax makes this story rise in not only the suspense but the drama as well. The resolution is an important part because of how the issue or conflict has come to an end by either an understanding that was made one or more characters or by a death of one or more characters. Many conflicts in stories that lead into the climax, come from multiple…

The climax of the play, Hamlet killing Polonius, had a major effect on the rest of the events that happened in Act IV. One of these effects would be the death of Hamlet himself. The leading action up to the death of Hamlet is started with the murder of Polonius, the obvious climax of the play. News of the death travels to France where Laertes, Polonius’ son is going to school. Laertes is so enraged that he comes to Denmark to avenge his father. He storms into the castle and starts claiming that…

of desperation among the situation they’re in. In the book, The Great Gatsby, it demonstrates and effectively shows the reader how the dark side will reveal. This book has scenes in the book that play off among itself, for example, leading into a climax. The whole book continues to grow and grow until the end, where everything finally reaches its peak and dies down. Nick Carraway is the narrator of the book, along with being in the situation. As if Nick Carraway was a bystander, listening and…
