     The exposition is the stage of plot in which characters are introduced, settings are set, and conflict is possibly revealed. One part of Catching Fire's exposition is Katniss lives in the victor's village with Peeta and they have tons of money. Katniss' mother and sister Prim live with her. Another part to the exposition is President Snow come to warn Katniss about the rebellions in other districts, and he threatens her friends and family. 

     Next, the rising action develops conflict or a struggle. In the rising action of Catching Fire Katniss and Peeta are reaped for another year in the Hunger Games. Another part of the rising action is Katniss is determined  to keep Peeta alive during the Hunger Games.

     Then the climax comes. The climax is the stage with the greatest point of interest. The climax in catching fire is when Katniss shoots an arrow into the force field. The force of the explosion knocks Katniss down and injuries her badly. 

     The falling action is how the conflict is resolved. The falling action in Catching Fire is Katniss is picked up by a crane and taken out of the arena. Another falling action is that Katniss was lying on a table unconscious for days not knowing if she alive or dead.

     Finally, the resolution is the story's final outcome; ties up loose ends. The resolution in Catching Fire is that Haymitch and Plutarch had a plan to get her out of the arena alive. Another part to the resolution is District 12 has been blown up, no place left remains.
