RL.5.3

Rising action: the events that happen at the beginning, before the turning point
Conflict/problem: the problem that is faced by a character or characters
Climax/turning point: the part of the plot in which the events are the most exciting
Resolution: the final part of the plot in which the problem is solved

A plot is made of different parts and events. Understanding a character and what he or she does is easier when we understand the plot and its different parts.
