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.

What does Heck Tate mean when he says "Let the dead bury the dead"

vovangra [49]

Some people might think this is a callous act by Jesus. However, Biblical scholars interpret this differently. They say that the disciple wanted to ignore his spiritual responsibilities to go take care of his aging father. Jesus meant that the disciple’s father was spiritually dead and that other people would take care of him. The disciple had to stay true to his religious calling. Although this doesn’t literally mean that the man couldn’t bury his father, it still might sound harsh. A better explanation might simply be that Jesus wanted his disciple to put God first, even before family.
