The beginning of a narrative is the opening passage in which the writer provides the exposition, or the important details about the story’s setting, narrator, characters, plot, conflict, and even the theme. A strong introduction captures the readers’ attention by making them want to read on to find out what happens next.

The writer then focuses on details and events that make up the falling action of the story. This is everything that happens after the climax, leading to a resolution. These elements make up a story’s conclusion, which often contains a message or final thought for the reader.
The conclusion is the final section of a narrative (or story). It is where the readers find out what happens to the characters. The plot winds down, and the main character’s conflict (or problem) is resolved. The ending of a narrative is called the resolution. In some stories, the narrator or a character leaves readers with a final lesson about life or human experience. More often, however, readers have to figure out the theme on their own by drawing inferences from the end of the story.

As the story continues, the writer includes details and events to develop the conflict and move the story forward. These events—known as the rising action of the story—build until the story reaches its climax. This is a turning point in the story, where the most exciting and intense action usually occurs. It is also the point at which the characters begin to find a solution to the problem or conflict in the plot.
