The falling action is the section of a literary plot that happens after the climax has been reached and the conflict has been resolved. It´s the event that finishes the story, bringing a resolution or possibly a cliffhanger. In "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the climax is when Bernice decides to be different, act popular and bob her hair. And in this case we have a cliffhanger: when Bernice realizes Marjorie tricked her into bobbing her hair, she cuts Marjorie's braids and leaves town.
