Rising Action...





You are now halfway through your free choice, literature circle novel. It's time to identify the series of events that are building and creating tension and suspense, or the rising action. Choose one of the three prompts, and complete a well-constructed and edited blog post. The minimum expectation is three paragraphs. Remember a paragraph includes a topic sentence, reasons, details, facts, supporting evidence and examples, and a concluding or transition sentence.

1. Describe an event from your book that shows the protagonist (the leading character, hero, or heroine of a literary work) versus the antagonist (a person who is opposed to, struggles against, or competes with another; opponent) element.

2. Describe how one of the main characters changes or develops through one or two events that lead up to the climax.

3. Describe the details of two events from your book that are building and creating tension and suspense towards a climax.
