Explanation:

In a plot structure, the frame of a narrative will have such patterns in that the climax will be at the peak of the mountain. The exposition and rising action will bring about the climax while the falling action and resolution will follow.

In the story The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas, the exposition is when the main character is introduced to us readers. This is followed by the rising action when the author or narrator gave the events that will bring about the wrong accusation of Dantes. The climax occurs when Dantes gets his revenge.

This is then followed by the falling action where he rewards his supporters and then the resolution ends the story, with the main character sailing away to an unknown destination.  

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
