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:

“Better go home, son,” said the pastor kindly.

“But I’ve been insulted!”

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

time. An insult is like mud.”

“I know that … and I’m going to clean it up.”

“Son, there is one thing you might as well learn

now as later. Mud brushes off a lot more easily
 when it is dry.”
