C. Lesson Proper
The Plot of the Story

Plot
The plot is the sequence of events that tell the story. Sometimes we call it the ‘narrative
structure’. Plots usually follow a familiar structure.
• Beginning: Introduce the characters and set the scene;
• Middle: Introduce a complication and tell the story of how it is overcome
• Ending: Resolve each character’s individual story and provide a sense of
closure
• Exposition: The exposition begins the story. It provides the necessary
background information like the setting and character details.
• Rising Action: The rising action part is the part of the story where challenges,
conflicts and complications are introduced during the rising action segment.
• Climax: This is the turning point of the story where the tensions in the plotline
come to a head. A good climax may involve a twist or a big reveal. Other examples of a
climax might be a big battle, police chase or exposure of a love affair.
• Falling Action: The falling action segment is brief but may be necessary to
conclude the key scenes that occurred in the climax. During the falling action, tension
starts to dissolve.
• Resolution (denouement): The resolution gives a sense of closure to the
reader. It may tie up loose ends in character plotlines and explain what becomes of the
key characters after the story.

D. Problem
Directions: Read the synopsis and after reading answer the questions below.

Driving Miss Daisy

The film, set in Atlanta, begins in 1948. Daisy Werthan (played by Tandy), an
elderly Jewish widow, accidentally backs her car over a hedge and into her neighbor’s
yard, wrecking the vehicle. Her son, Boolie (Dan Aykroyd), tries without success to
convince her that she cannot drive anymore. Nonetheless, he hires an African American
man in his 60s, Hoke Colburn (Freeman), to act as her chauffeur. Miss Daisy initially
wants nothing to do with Hoke and forbids him to speak to her housekeeper, Idella
(Esther Rolle). After several days, Miss Daisy decides to take the trolley to the grocery
store. As she walks, Hoke drives along next to her, and eventually she agrees to get in
the car and let him drive her. When she finds that Hoke has eaten a can of salmon, she
wants Boolie to fire him, but when Hoke arrives for work, he brings a can of salmon to
replace what he ate, and she is mollified. Their relationship develops gradually over
many years. In 1951 Hoke tells Miss Daisy that he never learned to read, and Miss
Daisy, a former schoolteacher, begins teaching him that skill. In 1955, when Boolie buys
a new car for his mother, Hoke purchases her old car for himself. Hoke drives Miss
Daisy to Mobile, Alabama, so that she can attend her brother’s 90th birthday party.
During the trip, they are accosted by racist police officers while they are having a picnic
lunch, but they are allowed to continue the trip. During the party, Hoke watches the
celebration from the kitchen with the maid.
In 1963 Hoke negotiates a raise in the salary that Boolie pays him. Idella suffers
a fatal heart attack while shelling peas in Miss Daisy’s kitchen. After that, Hoke begins
also helping Miss Daisy with cooking and gardening. When a winter storm knocks out
the electricity in Miss Daisy’s home, Hoke brings her doughnuts and makes a fire for
her. In about 1966, the temple that Miss Daisy attends is bombed, and Hoke tells her
that the same sort of people who lynched a friend’s father when he was a boy had
committed the bombing. Miss Daisy fails to see the connection. Later, as Hoke is driving
Miss Daisy to a dinner at which Martin Luther King, Jr., is to speak, she offers her
second ticket to him, but he is put off by the fact that she offered the ticket only at the
last minute, and he chooses to listen to the speech on the car radio. One day in 1971
Hoke arrives to find that Miss Daisy is upset and confused, thinking that she is a
schoolteacher. He calls Boolie and tries to calm her down. Miss Daisy tells Hoke that he
is her best friend. In the final scene, in 1973, Hoke visits Miss Daisy in the nursing
home.
