4.
What is exposition?
Answer: Exposition is information that gives the reader background about the characters and the present situation.
5.
Where in a story are you likely to find the most exposition?
Answer: Exposition often features heavily at the beginning of a story because the reader needs some context to follow what is happening.
6.
What is rising action?
Answer: Rising action is what happens in your story – when and how things start to go wrong/become difficult for the characters, leading, of course, towards the climax. However, rising action is not simply a straight shot to the climax, and instead is composed of many mini-crises or conflicts and resolutions, all providing epiphany steppingstones to reach the final epiphany/moment of realisation (the climax).
7.
What is stasis (and the interruption of stasis) in a story?
Answer: Characters\' lives are generally in stasis (balance/equilibrium) before and after the story (represented in the Story Arc Summary document by the image\'s horizontal lines). The interruption of stasis is when something happens that interrupts the balance/equilibrium of these characters\'\' lives, and consequently makes the story interesting enough to tell.
