Climax

Most of the stories I have read all have a similar plot structure. They start with the exposition to introduce the characters. Then the rising action that lead to the conflict or the climax of the story. After the conflict is established, there is the falling action. Lastly, the story comes to a resolution. Christopher Paul Curtis wrote The Watsons Go to Birmingham a little differently. The story starts by introducing Kenny and his family who live in Flint, Michigan. We learn that every…

we never stop to think about the impact it has. In her short story "The Lottery," Shirley Jackson 's theme of the deadly consequences of refusing to critically examine a long-standing tradition is supported through her use of character, setting, climax, and conflict. “Jackson was born on December 14, 1919 in San Francisco, California” (Wilson 140). “Jackson wanted to be a writer from an early age” and wrote poetry in her early journals (Wilson 141). She went on to college at Syracuse University…

she doesn’t have much of a personality. Find ways to make her more unique. Highlight her inner conflict. If this is supposed to be her story, then she needs to drive the action and she needs to be more proactive. She also needs to be part of the climax. In addition, her reaction to Alex’s death isn’t fully authentic. She quickly seems to get over…

He accomplishes this in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by using the mood the create connotations towards characters, using the narrator to make the climax more impactful for the audience, and figurative language to evoke emotions in the reader. Although not all authors are tantamount to Robert Louis Stevenson in this writing style, writers everywhere should begin using these techniques to make the reading…

On August 21, I attended a District 9 Youth Rally. It was hosted by First Assembly of God in De Queen, AR. At this rally, the group that performed is called HSM Praise Team. (HSM stands for Hardcore Student Ministries) The members of the Praise Team are as follows: lead vocalist- Kellie Reynolds, backup vocalists- Dustin Reynolds, drummer- Johnathan Reynolds, electric guitarists- Kristen Wright, and the bass guitarist- Ryan Bowden. Also, a guest electric guitarist, Seth Cash, played with group…

Rising action includes the bundle of events that happen right up until the climax. Also during the rising action of the plot, the main character shows how they defeat their problems or issues. The third part of the plot is the climax. The climax is the turning point of the story. The main character does something to either help or devastate him or her; this action also lays a road for the outcome of the story. The climax of “The Garden of Forking Paths” is when Dr. Albert gets shot. Richard…

uses a lot a irony in his writing that is one of the ways he helps drive the plot in “The Cask of Amontillado”. In the beginning of “The Cask of Amontillado” Edgar Allan Poe created a dark and mysterious setting. He makes a witty comment during the climax. Montresor said that he is a mason but he is not part of the brotherhood. At the ending of the story Poe leaves you at a cliffhanger. He helps the plot with the setting. Edgar Allan Poe writes dark stories so most of his settings are dark…

William Faulkner. To analyze the plot development, plot elements of fiction stated by Pickering and Hoeper (1986) was used. Firstly, the main events of the story was identified and categorized into five different elements: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Then, how the main events, significant incidents, problems and flashbacks support the plot development was…

and lets us imagine how he felt Bradbury engages in literary misdirection by setting us up to expect Eckels’ encounter with the dinosaur to be the climax of the story. When we get to that portion of the story, how do you know that this is not the climax? What is the actual climax? What is the effect of this misdirection on the reader? The climax of the story is when eckels falls on the ground because before they traveled to the past it was explained that the slightest things can change the…

“Black is… Black Aint”, Both of which reach their climax at the death of central characters in their films. The beginning of my project will consist of defining the aforementioned films as performative films, in doing so, next, I could establish a connection between performative documentary and black queerness. This connection I believe will highlight a commonality between these two films and there “pathos-filled” endings or death climaxes. The death Climax as the most obscure and seemingly…
