Detailed explanation-1: -In a story, the rising action is the series of events that leads up to the climax. What is this? The rising action typically begins after the story’s exposition (introduction of the setting, characters, and conflict).

Detailed explanation-2: -The Middle, also known as the Rising Action, includes the events that lead up to the climax. These are events that usually complicate the problem or make it worse. These events build excitement and interest. The Turning Point, also know as the Climax, is the peak of action in the story.

Detailed explanation-3: -The climax (the most intense part of the story, often a turning point or a conclusion to the conflict) is preceded by rising action and followed by falling action. Simply put, falling action is what the characters are doing after the story’s most dramatic part has happened.

Detailed explanation-4: -Falling action is everything that takes place immediately after the climax. The purpose of falling action is to bring the story from climax to a resolution. It is one of the key elements in any story which will usually include an exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and denouement.

Detailed explanation-5: -One more question writers commonly have about falling action: What comes next-or does anything come after falling action? The answer is this: Your resolution! The resolution in a story occurs after falling action and before the epilogue. It’s when you wrap everything up and give readers a satisfying conclusion.
