ELEMENTS OF PLOT Inciting Force/conflict The event or character that triggers the conflict. This is something that takes them away from their normal daily life or routine. It starts the rising action.

ELEMENTS OF PLOT Resolution Inciting Force/conflict

ELEMENTS OF PLOT Rising Action A series of events that builds from the conflict/inciting force and ends with the climax. It includes lots of obstacles.

ELEMENTS OF PLOT

ELEMENTS OF PLOT Climax The climax is the high point of the story for the reader. Frequently, it is the moment of the highest interest or excitement and greatest emotion. The point at which the outcome of the conflict can be predicted.
