PLOT or STORYLINE

Plot is a narrative (and, traditionally, literary) term defined as the events that make up a story, particularly: as they relate to one another in a pattern or in a sequence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_(narrative)

In my own words: a series of events that form the story in a novel

My example:  When Lizzie goes to meet her friend, she runs into Mr. Darcy, who proposes and Lizzie rejects. She then writes him a letter telling him why she dislikes him.

RISING ACTION

The rising action of a plot is the series of events that build up and create tension and suspense

http://homeworktips.about.com/od/writingabookreport/a/risingaction.htm

In my own words: The rising action is when things begin to escalate. It takes the reader from the exposition and leads them towards the climax. This part tends to be dramatic and suspenseful. 

My example: In the case of the story Hansel and Gretel, the rising action is when the witch put Hansel into the cage.

TURNING POINT

The turning point of a story is when it goes in a different direction, one which will resolve it. This can be different things to different types of stories

http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_turning_point_of_a_story

In my own words:  A turning point in a story is, quite literally, that. It's a point (usually an event) in a book where the plot/story takes an (sometimes unexpected) turn, and things change. 

My example: Cinderella's fairy godmother gets her to the ball. Before that event, things were awful for Cinderella, and she had no hope of getting to the dance and meeting it prince. After that event, Cinderella's future markedly improved and she became able to do lots of things, such as marry her true love.

CLIMAX the highest or most intense point in the devel

opment or resolution of something http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/climax In my own words: The climax! When you

finally take a breath after holding it in in suspense. This is the most emotional part.

My example: The phrase “dead within an hour” is placed at the very end as it marks the climax of the fate of beauty which he introduces as “a vain and doubtful good”.

FALLING ACTION

the part of a literary plot that occurs after the climax has been reachedand the conflict has been resolved.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/falling+action

In my own words: Falling Action is when everything tends to slow down

My example: In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the falling action is when Harry talks to Dumbledore in the infirmary, the banquet, and the train ride home.

RESOLUTION

Short definition: Source & hyperlink In my own words: The resolution. The

conclusion. The end. Whatever you want to call it. But this is the final part of the story when everything is wrapped up. Sometimes the story is finished off completely, answering every reader's question. Sometimes authors leave mysterious, to intrigue the reader. Or sometimes authors leave hints of a sequel. 

My example:
