Rising Action - NarrativeCreates Excitement About the Main

ConflictThis points to the Climax of the story

Develops Sub-ConflictsThese are little things that get in the way of

the main character and/or charactersCharacter Development

While this is ongoing throughout the Narrative, during the Rising Action is where this is really developed.

ClimaxThis is the biggest, most

emotional part of the story – the big event that created a conflict to begin with.

Conflict is not to be confused with situation.

Situation: In a car Conflict: You are going to die because the car

you’re in is being swept downstream

Falling ActionsRemember to describe in detail

how all your characters are dealing with the events of the climax.

Character development is important, but through the lens of how they would have normally acted

Resolution Character Development: Really important at

this stage – this is where the reader’s opinion can change or stay the same regarding a character.

“Big So What” – leave the reader with a strong feeling, strong image, lesson learned, humor, hope or wish. This statement should match and sum up the

context of the writing piece.
