The end-of-story phase where loose ends are tied up is the resolution. This part wraps up the plot by showing how the main conflicts are resolved and what happens to the characters after the climax. It clarifies outcomes, answers the big questions raised, and provides a sense of closure, or at least an explainable ending.

Exposition occurs at the beginning, introducing characters, setting, and situation. Mood is the atmosphere or feeling the author creates. A plot diagram is a schematic of the story’s events, not a part of the narrative itself.
