Question

Body Paragraph: Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action

All Narratives follow a similar plot (order of events) structure: Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and Resolution. This section focuses on the Rising Action, Climax, and Falling Action. The Rising action leads up to the climax and can be a great place to include dialogue (conversations between characters). The Climax is the peak of action in the story or the main conflict or problem. The Falling action focuses on how the characters respond to the climax. A character's response can tell us a lot about who they are.

Explain the events of your story in order: Where does the story begin?

The first thing I remember was standing at the edge of the pool, feeling a mix of excitement and fear as I gazed at the shimmering water. I knew I had to conquer my fear and take the plunge if I ever wanted to learn how to swim. With a deep breath, I finally took the first step and slowly entered the water, feeling the coolness enveloping me. As I started to paddle my arms and kick my legs, I could feel the exhilaration building within me.

As I practiced more and more, my confidence grew, and I found myself enjoying the sensation of floating and gliding through the water. But just as I started to feel comfortable, a sudden cramp seized my leg, causing me to panic and struggle to stay afloat. The fear of drowning overwhelmed me, and I frantically searched for help.

In the midst of my panic, a lifeguard spotted me and quickly came to my rescue, pulling me to safety. As I coughed and sputtered, I felt a sense of relief that I was okay, but also a sense of embarrassment at my moment of weakness. My body and mind were exhausted, and I knew I had reached my limits.

Reflecting on the experience, I realized that even though I had faced a moment of fear and danger, I had also learned valuable lessons about perseverance and the importance of safety in the water. The falling action of my story was a time of reflection and growth, as I processed the events that had unfolded and thought about how I could improve my swimming skills in the future.

Answer 2

Include a conversation between characters: What conversations did you have or could you have had?

Example: As I walked out of the locker room, I was met with a welcoming smile, by the swim instructor Mrs. June. “Hi, Mrs. June,” I said nervously. She looked at me with knowing eyes and responded, “I can see you are nervous, but there is no need. I’ll be with you, and we will start in the shallow end.”

As I took a break by the edge of the pool after my near-drowning experience, the lifeguard approached me with concern. "Are you okay? That was a close call," he said, his voice filled with reassurance. I nodded, still trying to catch my breath, and replied, "Thank you for saving me. I don't know what I would have done without you." The lifeguard smiled kindly and said, "It's my job to keep everyone safe. Just remember to take it slow next time and always listen to your body." I nodded in understanding, grateful for his words of wisdom.
