Rising+Action+&+Falling+Action

=Falling Action : (only FA) =

Definition: the sequence of events that follow the climax and comes before the resolution; conflicts and struggles come to an end

Examples: 1. In the short story, The Necklace, the falling action is when Madame Loisel finds the replacement for the necklace she lost, and not telling Forestier about what happened to the real necklace. (As this event takes place in the story, it shows us that Madame Loisel's struggle/conflict has ended.)

2. In the short story, The Cask of Amontillado, the falling action takes place when Montresor constructs a wall around Fortunato. (F loses oxygen and dies) (This event in the story shows the conflict coming to an end, but also shows a little bit of the conflict still occurring.)

Memory Trick: Remember Falling means descending, or coming down. After adding Action, which still deals with conflict, you can memorize that Falling Action is the minimal ending of a conflict or problem.
