You may understand that a narrative has a beginning, middle and end. You may also be familiar with a plot triangle or diagram. Today you are learning the literary terms of the plot’s progress.
Conflict: The story introduces a problem.
Complications: In the plot triangle this is known as “rising action.” These are obstacles or challenges that prevent the character from solving the problem or achieving her goal.
Climax: The character realizes the truth or acts out the best plan to solve her problem. It is the turning point or change for the best or worst.
Resolution: The story has established a new status quo.
