E. Discussion
The plot is a sequence of events that
force a character to make increasingly difficult
decisions, driving the story toward a climactic
event and resolution. It is further divided into sub-
elements.

ELEMENTS OF PLOT

1. Exposition or introduction to a story-

including the primary characters' names, setting,
mood, and time.

2. Rising action, which reveals the conflict,

in all of the events that lead to the eventual
climax, including character development and
events that create suspense.

3. The climax or turning point is the most

exciting point of the story and is a turning point
for the main character's plot or goals.

4. Falling action is everything that happens

as a result of the climax, including the wrapping
up of plot points, questions being answered, and
character development.

5. Resolution is not always a happy ending,

but it does complete the story. It can leave a
reader with questions, answers, frustration, or
satisfaction.
King and his 4 wives
Once upon a time, there lived a king who
had four wives. The king got seriously ill and was
on his death bed.
 Afraid to venture into the afterlife alone, he
asked his fourth wife whom he loved the most
and bought her diamond, gold and elegant
clothing — “Would you die with me? And go with
me to the afterlife?” The fourth wife replied with
a sorry saying she can’t do that and walked away.
He also loved his third wife and was very
proud and would show her off to neighboring
kingdoms. He called on his third wife and asked
the same question — “Would you accompany me
to the afterlife”? The third wife replied that she
loved her life too much and she cannot go with
him and also that she would remarry on his death.
The second wife has always been there for
him in the times of his need. So he asked her
would she accompany him in the afterlife? The
second wife apologetically replied that she would
not be able to help him this time but would
arrange his funeral and would be there for his
funeral.
A voice called out and said that — “I will
leave with you and follow you wherever you go,
even if it is to the afterlife”. The king looked and it
was his first wife. And this was the wife he took
care of the least. He felt embarrassed and said
that I should have taken a better care of you and
given you more attention when I was alive.

F. Activity
Create a Plot based of this Short Story, Revenge
By Philip Cleveland.
A young man in the village had been badly
insulted, and he hurried to his pastor to tell him
about it, adding that he was going immediately to
his offender and avenge his honor:

“But I’ve been insulted!”

“That’s exactly why you should go home at this

time. An insult is like mud.”
