Quitters, Inc

Quitters, Inc. by Stephen King


1. Exposition: It begins the action and sets the stage for the development of the plot.
It refers to the meeting between the two charaters, Dick Morrison and Jimmy McCann and the information that we get about them and their personal and professional lives.

2. Inciting action: an incident which will change the events to follow. From them on, the story will develop according to all that decision will imply.

“ Dick's decision to go to a first interview”

3. Rising action of a plot is the series of events that build up and create tension and suspense. This tension is a result of the basic conflict that exists and makes the story interesting.
Part III – Many different scenes from Dick's daily life are presented. They try to show to the reader the difficulties he feels to avoid smoking in his daily life. It makes us aware of the passing of time and the efforts he's making to achieve his goals.
There is a crescendo in terms of suspense, that starts to make the readers feel more curious and anxious about what will probably happen.

4. Plot: the events that form the main story of a book, film, or play

5. Climax: the most exciting or important part of a story or experience, which usually comes near the end

Part IV- This is the high point of the story, where the suspense rises, and scenes happen that indicate the outcome.

6. Setting: the place or time where the events in a book, film etc happen
