➯ Falling Action: the action is still intense, but now it’s all about resolving the
conflict. There may be unexpected events, surprises, twists, and turns.
➯ Denouement or Resolution: the end of the story,
after the conflict has been resolved. Any lingering
questions are answered, and any loose ends are neatly
tied up. Everything makes sense!

mind, sense of right and wrong.
➢ External Conflict: a character’s struggle with someone or something
outside of himself: his family, friends, society, culture.
