Game of Thrones is a perfect example of a story that follows the guidelines for plot with a twist. In Game of Thrones, the character exposition is somewhat different then in other books because each chapter of Game of Thrones is from the point of view of a separate character with nine alternating point of view characters. The story begins with a character Eddard Stark being offered the position of hand of the king. Once Eddard arrives in the capital city, the rising action starts as a series of events begin to unfold until the king dies, and Eddard is blamed. After an unexpected turn of events, the climax takes place when Eddard Stark is executed. After that, the falling action begins which sets up the story for the next book in the series in which Eddards son seeks revenge against the people who killed his father. There is no resolution since there is a sequel to the series so most of the questions are unanswered.
In the Great Gatsby, the exposition does not take place in the begging of the book but takes place little by little through out the novel. The rising action in The Great Gatsby is when Nick meets Gatsby for the first time and Gatsby convinces Nick to introduce him to daisy. After that the story goes back and forth in time explaining each of the characters relationships until the climax when daisy hits a woman with her car. After the hit and run, Gatsby takes the blame for killing the women and the husband of the victim hunts down Gatsby and assassinates him, and then kills him self. After the climax the falling action in the great Gatsby is the funeral and events leading up to the funeral until the resolution in which Gatsby’s father explains Gatsby’s’ life leading up to the height of his power.
