    Introduction or Exposition

    The introduction is where the basic characters and plot elements such as setting are revealed. In
    most cases the major conflict of the story, novel or script is also hinted at in the introduction,
    though smaller conflicts in the plot may be introduced later on. In a shorter work, the
    introduction happens within the first few paragraphs, while in a longer work such as a novel it
    will happen within the first few chapters. The narrative hook, or point in the story where the
    author truly catches the reader's attention, is often presented within the introduction.

    Rising Action
    Taking place within the first third of a story, novel or script, the rising action is also the part of the work where the problem or
    conflict central to the plot is truly introduced. The main characters have been established and events begin to get complicated for
    them. They may take actions against the conflict though it will probably not be solved yet. This element of the plot is where
    excitement, tension and crisis are encountered.

    Climax
    The climax is the turning point of a story, novel or script. It is the moment where it seems like the main character is in danger or
    could even possibly fail at resolving the conflict. Depending on the kind of conflict being faced (man vs. man, man vs. self, etc.)
    the actions at this point in the work can be either physical or mental.

    Falling Action
    Taking place after the climax, the falling action includes events that will help to fully resolve the conflict. The results of actions
    that the main character has taken are presented as well as the results of decisions that have been made, whether good or bad for
    the character.

    Resolution
    The end of a story, novel or script includes the last plot element -- the resolution. It is here that loose ends are tied up, conflicts
    are concluded, outcomes are revealed and a happy or sad ending takes place. As many of the final actions have already taken
    place, a resolution can be made up of a just a summary of where the main character will end up in the future, instead of including
    any more active events.
