In a narrative, the rising action comes immediately after the exposition and serves to create suspense in the plot, to trigger the events that will lead to the climax.

In "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box," the rising action is when Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson meet with Inspector Lestrade from Scotland Yard and Miss Susan Cushing in Croydon.

Miss Cushing had received a yellow cardboard box the mail, which contains the ears of two different people, buried in salt. Cushing does not have any idea who would sent this to her or why.

This creates tension in the story and sets forth the following twists and turns, because Sherlock Holmes gets a first-hand look at the box and the ears for the first time, thus triggering his involvement in the case.

Write a descriptive essay

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Unfortunately, I cannot write you an entire essay. But I can give you a prompt and ideas.

Describe a jungle, but do not directly say you are in a jungle. This will satisfy the "trying to work out where you are" part.

Paragraph one: describe waking up, feeling the roughness of dirt and leaves under you.

Paragraph two: You realize you are in an unfamiliar place. Describe the confusion and fear.

Paragraph three: describe looking around. What do you see? Probably a lot of trees and undergrowth (ferns, vines, other plants). What do you hear? Probably the calls of birds, unlike the ones in the city. Try to be specific when describing plants ("vines stretched into the canopy above my head.") or sounds ("a twig cracked in a nearby thicket. I jumped, heartrate rising.")

Paragraph four: Describe the new fear that comes with realizing you are in a jungle. Describe what you know about the dangers of jungles: the predatory animals, the diseases you can catch. This would probably lead to a feeling of dispair, loss of hope. You can end your essay very strongly if you craft these negative emotions right, and conclude that you are lost, alone, and probably will not survive.
