Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #49461 Rising Action
Instructions
The  rising  action  of  a  plot  refers  to  the  events  that    conflict,  build  tension,  and  generate  interest.  It  adds  that  edge-of-your-seat  element  that  motivates  you  to  keep  reading  until  you  reach  the  story  .  In  literature,  the  rising  action  encompasses  the  decisions,  background  circumstances,  and  character  flaws  that  lead  a  story  from  the  opening  exposition  through  the  drama  and  run-up  to  the  climax.  The  primary  conflict  can  be  an    one,  such  as  a  clash  between  two  men  trying  to  exert  their  dominance  at  work,  or  it  can  be  internal,  as  in  the  case  of  a  college  student  who  realizes  she  wants  to  leave  school  but  cringes  at  the  thought  of  telling  her  parents.  As  you  read  a  novel,  pay  attention  to    that  predict  trouble  down  the  road.  It  could  be  anything  from  the  appearance  of  a  character  who  seems  shady  and  untrustworthy,  to  the  description  of  a  clear  morning  marred  by  one  dark  cloud  on  the  horizon.
