- 2. PLOT or STORYLINE Plot is a narrative (and, traditionally, literary) term defined as the events that make up a story, particularly: as they relate to one another in a pattern or in a sequence; as they relate to each other through cause and effect; how the reader views the story; or simply by coincidence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_(narrative) In my own words: It is a series of events that form the story in a novel, movie, etc. My example: Titanic, the ship of dreams. Is also known as unsinkable, and it was unsinkable on its departure on April 10th, 1912. And on its epic journey, a poor artist named Jack Dawson and a rich girl Rose DeWitt Bukater fall in love, until one night, their fairy tale love for one another turns into a struggle for survival on a ship about to founder to the bottom of the North Atlantic. Rose leaves her fiancé Caledon Hockley for this poor artist, but when the Titanic collides with the iceberg on April 14th, 1912, and then when the ship sinks on April 15th, 1912 at 2:20 in the morning, Jack dies and Rose survives and 84 years later Rose tells the story about her life on Titanic to her granddaughter and friends on the Keldysh and explains the first sight of Jack that falls into love, then into a fight for survival. When Rose gets saved by one lifeboat that comes back, they take her to the Carpathia with the six saved with Rose and the 700 people saved in the lifeboats. The Carpathia immigration officer asks Rose what her name is and she loved Jack so much she says her name is not Rose DeWitt Bukater, but her name is Rose Dawson. She seen Cal looking for her, but he does not see her, and they never ended up together, her mother, Cal and friends of the family has no choice but to think that she died on the Titanic. But in the crash of 1929, Cal is married, but then he put a pistol in his mouth and committed suicide. So Rose is an actress in the 1920s, and now 84 years later Rose Calvert is 100 years old and tells her granddaughter Lizzy Calvert, Brock Lovett, Lewis Bodine, Bobby Buell and Anatoly Mikailavich the whole story from departure until the death of Titanic on its first and last voyage, and then to Rose all Titanic and the real love of her life Jack Dawson is all an existence inside of her memory, and Titanic is to rest in peace at the bottom of the North Atlantic from 1912 until the end of time. 1a

- 5. RISING ACTION In the rising action, a series of related incidents builds toward the point of greatest interest. The rising action of a story is the series of events that begin immediately after the exposition (introduction) of the story and builds up to the climax. These events are generally the most important parts of the story since the entire plot depends on them to set up the climax, and ultimately the satisfactory resolution of the story itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dramatic_structure In my own words: Events that happen and lead up to the climax. The rising action can be a series of smaller problems or conflicts that help to build up the plot. My example: The Titanic prepares to leave England for America with Jack and Rose on-board. Jack stops Rose from committing suicide. 2
- 6. TURNING POINT Turning point is a time when an important change happens. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary In my own words: a point at which a significant change occurs. My example: Rose's mother, her fiance, Cal, and Cal's bodyguard try to keep Jack away from Rose as the two begin to fall in love. The ship hits an ice berg. 3
- 7. CLIMAX The Climax or turning point of a narrative work is its point of highest tension or drama or when the action starts in which the solution is given. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climax_(narrative) In my own words: The moment of greatest tension in a story. This is often the most exciting event. It is the event that the rising action builds up to and that the falling action follows My example: The Titanic splits in two and sinks. 4
- 8. FALLING ACTION Falling action is defined as the parts of a story after the climax and before the very end. An example of falling action is act four in a five-act play. https://www.google.com.ph In my own words: It is an events happen as a result of the climax and we know that the story will soon end. My example: Jack, Rose and the other passengers wait for lifeboats. 5
- 9. RESOLUTION The act of finding an answer or solution to a conflict, problem, etc. : the act of resolving something. http://www.merriam- webster.com/dictionary/resolution In my own words: The character solves the main problem/conflict or someone solves it for him or her. My example: Rose is rescued and gives her name as Rose Dawson. As a result, Cal never finds her again. 6
