Well the exposition is when Jeremy decides who his enemy is, and describes the details of his current life. Rising action includes his struggle to make an enemy list and talk to his enemy. The climax is when he decides that his enemy list is obsolete. Falling action is when he trashes his list and invites everyone for pie. Resolution: They eat pie. Even if I got the story wrong, all stories follow a suspense pattern that is similar.
This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is the following:
Read the excerpt from Eighty Years and More: Reminiscences, 1815-1897.
Then and there I resolved that I would not give so much time as heretofore to play, but would study and strive to be at the head of all my classes and thus delight my father's heart. All that day and far into the night I pondered the problem of boyhood. I thought that the chief thing to be done in order to equal boys was to be learned and courageous. So I decided to study Greek and learn to manage a horse. Having formed this conclusion I fell asleep. My resolutions, unlike many such made at night, did not vanish with the coming light.

She was perfectly able to do everything they did. That is an idea she will keep in her heart for the rest of her life. This idea will guide her fight for equality.</u>
