Most stories use a narrative arc to sequence events so that they build on one another to create a coherent whole.

Sure! Here’s the typical order of story components in a narrative arc:

1. Exposition (introduction of characters, setting, and background information)
2. Rising Action (the series of events that create tension and develop the conflict)
3. Climax (the turning point or most intense moment in the story)
4. Falling Action (events that occur after the climax as the story begins to resolve)
5. Resolution (the conclusion of the story, where conflicts are resolved and loose ends are tied up)

You can arrange these components in the above order as needed.
