The denouement is when the loose ends are tied up.
Alan does not enjoy participating in school concerts or sports events as he is very shy. He feels as though he will look silly or do something silly. I am the same. I do not enjoy being on stage or taking part in sports events. I feel as though I am the person that will trip over my feet and everyone will laugh at me. I have taken part in our class plays. Everyone in the class had to participate. My teacher understood that I am very shy and she did not give me a part where I had to speak or sing by myself. I would like to become more confident and be able to participate in public events without feeling like an idiot.
