Answer 1

Here’s a clear matching of The Three Little Pigs events to the parts of plot:

- Exposition: The three pigs leave home and set out to build their own houses (introduces characters, setting, and problem).
- Rising action: The first pig builds a straw house and the second a stick house; the wolf blows down those houses and the pigs run to the third pig’s brick house.
- Climax: The wolf tries to blow down the brick house (the central confrontation/turning point when the wolf’s attack fails).
- Falling action: The wolf attempts to enter by the chimney, falls into the pot, and is defeated.
- Resolution: The pigs are safe in the brick house, learn the value of hard work/preparation, and live happily.
