After reviewing pages 75-83 in the Norton (which cover plot) and “The Grasshopper & the Bell Cricket” on 456-8, complete the Plot Diagram handout (linked above). Map out the plot of the short story by identifying the elements of the story that correspond to the Freytag’s Pyramid labels on the handout. You can legibly handwrite or type your responses. If you have trouble with the formatting, you can type a detailed list addressing all of the following requirements rather than trying to add text boxes on the pyramid.
Instructions
Identify three pieces of important information we learn in the exposition, three plot points for the rising action, the climax, two plot points for the falling action, and the two pieces of information for the conclusion.
The aforementioned points do not need to be complete sentences, but you must provide specific page numbers for each point you identify.
For the conflict, provide two complete sentences: identify the conflict in one and then provide an explanation of why you believe that to be the conflict in the second.
This assignment may be uploaded as a .doc or .docx file (default for Microsoft Word) or as a PDF. If you cannot format responses on the triangle graphic, type your homework in bulleted list format.”
