To create a coherent narrative arc, the typical order of story components is as follows:
- Exposition - This is usually the first component of a story, where the setting, characters, and background information are introduced.
- Rising Action - This part builds tension and develops the conflict as the characters encounter challenges.
- Climax - The turning point of the story, where the main conflict reaches its peak.
- Falling Action - The events that follow the climax, leading toward resolution and closure of the story.
- Resolution (or Denouement) - The final component where conflicts are resolved, and the story concludes.
So the order from top to bottom would be:
- Exposition
- Rising Action
- Climax
- Falling Action
- Resolution
You can drag and arrange these components according to this sequence.
