Expository: Jimmy waking up on a Sunday morning to the sound of an ambulance.

Climax: Jimmy realizing the boy is himself.

Falling action: Jimmy crying and hearing the sound of his alarm clock.

Explanation:

Exposition is where the author introduces the setting and the characters to readers. Once those are established, the author introduces events that generate conflict as the rising action. When the tension caused by those events reach its peak and the major conflict of all has to be dealt with, we have the climax of the story. Once the climax is over, falling action begins, where there is a decrease in tension. Finally, we have the resolution, where the story ends.

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.
