I really need help with this!!?

Question

I've never been taught this so don't say I'm stupid but what is a climax in a story??

Answer 1

A climax is the "turning point" of a story. It is the most dramatic part of the story and thus called a climax. The conflict of the plot will either take a turn for the worse or gets resolved. In a typical story it is where the protagonist is confronted with something--an opposing force. But if you've never been taught what a climax is or any other elements of the story, there are usually glossary of literary terms in the back of your english text books...I don't know if that helps.

Answer 2

The exciting part...and the end of it...

Answer 3

It's the the point of highest dramatic tension or a major turning point in the action.  

Answer 4

The most exciting part, what it all leads up to.
