This is because Yu Tsun is more melancholy and full of foreboding. He says lots of ominous, uncheerful things, like "with the eyes of a man already dead, I contemplated the fluctuations of the day which would probably be my last." Since he's the narrator we hear from the most, the overall tone is one of gloom and doom. The story shows that there are many challenges as the story develops, but in the end h<span>e wraps up every little loose end to his labyrinthine narrative in the space of a single paragraph – and in this case, there's a lot to wrap up. </span>

Match each plot element to its description.

viva [34]

Answer:

exposition → the point in a story when the reader first learns about the characters and setting

rising action → the part of a story when the conflict begins and events follow from that conflict

climax → the most intense part of a story, where the main character faces a major crisis

falling action → the moment when the main character has a change of heart or figures out how to overcome the conflict at hand

resolution → the point in the story when all loose ends are tied up and the story ends

Explanation:

In literature, we can define the exposition as the part of the story where the narrator introduces the characters, the setting, and the theme to readers. This where the author sets the stage for the story to happen.

Rising action happens after the exposition, when the environment for conflicts to arise has been established. Rising action consists of a series of events, smaller conflicts, that will eventually lead to a major conflict.

Climax is the major conflict mentioned above, the point where tension is at its highest. This is where readers ask themselves what the main character will do to solve the problem or to deal with the situation.

Falling action takes place after the climax, when the conflict is being solved or has already been solved. Tension decreases, and readers can already see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Finally, resolution is the ending of the story, when the narrator ties all loose ends.
