Whitman uses visual, auditory, and tactile imagery in the poem's first stanza. When he says "The ship has weather'd every rack", he conveys the feeling of exhaustion. (The ship is, of course, an allegory of America, whereas the Captain stands for President Lincoln, who was just assassinated.) "The bells I hear" is an auditory expression, which supports the people's exaltation, but also resembles the sound of death bells which mourn the Captain's death. The vessel is "grim and daring", grim because the trip had been extremely hard, but the cause was daring. "The bleeding drops of red" is a striking image of the tragedy of Lincoln's death. The blood was shed, so it was not a natural death. The Captain is "cold", which is an example of tactile imagery.

As a whole, this stanza juxtaposes two kinds of mood: the exaltation about the Captain's glorious deeds, as well as pathos and tragedy because of his death. The imagery makes the poem all the more exciting, as it lets us see, hear, and feel the speaker's state of mind - which is a fusion of personal and collective feeling toward America's journey to freedom and Lincoln's pivotal role in it.

When summarizing the (blank) of a plot, one should notice the key ideas about how the conflict builds. BeginningMiddleEndingReso
goblinko [34]
In a more complex plot diagram, you will often see these categories going up and down the stairs to the climax in order:

Exposition/Beginning, Rising Action, Climax/Middle, Falling Action, and then the Resolution/End.

This helps to remember because the rising action (building of the conflict) would be categorized and placed before the climax. The climax should also be known as when the conflict is finally brought to the surface. A character should spend their entire falling action trying to find a way to resolve it. Because of this, your answer is going to be 'in the beginning.' This is when you are going to see the conflict start to build as it struggles to reach the middle or the climax. Remember that the climax is most likely where you are going to hit the breaking point and major importance of the conflict. You are rising (action) and building up towards it.
