Plot refers to the sequence of events and actions that make up a story. It’s the framework that guides the narrative and gives it structure, ensuring the story flows logically and grabs the reader by the shirt and says read me.
The exposition tells the reader what the hell is going on and why it is happening. To then tell the reader why they should give two shits.
The rising action is when you set all the fun shit in motion that makes your character’s life miserable or exceedingly awesome and then tear it down.
The climax occurs when you eradicate what the character thinks they want and then present them with what they need.
The falling action is when the character hauls butt to get what they need before it is too late.
The resolution is when everyone is happy and shit gets fixed.
