PLOT or STORYLINE

Plot is a literary term used to describe the events that make up a story or the main part of a story.

http://literarydevices.net/plot/ Plot is the series of events in a story. My example: A guy whose a close friend of

mine confessed his feeling for me and starts courting me. Months had passed and we get to know each other. The moment came where I think I’m starting to like him. Sometimes, were going together with our mutual friends.

RISING ACTION

The rising action is the part of the plot where obstacles stand in the way of the protagonist achieving his goal.

Rising action is the point in a story where the main character faces difficulties.

My example: It’s vacation month and we rarely see each other but he goes in our house sometimes. The cold treatment between us had happened and this is the time where I asked a lot of questions to him.
