The plot in a story is the sequence of events which begins with the introduction of the characters and ultimately ends in a resolution.

2. It is followed by a rising action where the writer builds on the conflict in the story thus creating suspense.

3. The climax is that point where the characters make a serious decision or action that changes the direction of the story.

4. The falling action is where the writer tones down the suspense in the story by revealing the results of the decisions and actions of the characters.
