You got a story to tell? You better have a plot! If it doesn't, am I listening? Um, no I'm not… First introduce the conflict and characters, Then the action rises, it may get scarier. The climax is when things go nuts, The action falls away, then we wrap it up. Yup, yup — that's the conclusion, Make your plot hot and you're never losing. Let's break down the plot of a story called “The Date,” With two characters who are not the same. In the introduction Joe says he's not popular, That's an important fact about his character. The conflict? He wants to date a popular girl, Her name is Lisa and she's out of this world. She only dates jocks but he still makes the offer, When he asks Lisa out on a date to Red Lobster. She says yes and the plot thickens, The rising action adds a little tension. But then Joe is grossed out by the way she chews, It's the climax, that information is new. It's a turning point for Joe and things change after, Their relationship ending is the falling action. So the resolution to this conflict Or conclusion is: Joe and Lisa didn't stick.
