You can use the notes to give a short summary of these events.

Billy walks a few more miles and finds his dad in the snow, not alive. There is a map directing him to nearby airport and a plane that Jerry built for Billy.

The resolution of the story involves tying up the loose ends of the climax and falling action.

In the resolution, the writer continues their thoughts on the story’s themes, and gives the reader something to think about after the last word is read.

After a long day of searching, the team decides to head back and give up; except Billy (his son).

The author examines what happens after the climax in the falling action.

• Do new conflicts consequently develop?
• How does the story's climax make a statement about its main themes?
• How do the characters respond to the climax's permanent changes?

The falling action must move the story toward some sort of resolution and begin tying up loose ends from the primary conflict, while also exploring bigger ideas and themes.

The vehicle team begins their adventure to go find Jerry but they don't tell anyone else about it.

The struggle reaches its height in the story's climax, and we find out what happens to the key characters.
Consider the climax as the 'turning' point in the narrative, when the main struggle is addressed decisively.

The elves notice that Jerry, head elf, had not come into work yet. They go to check his bedroom and he is not there but there is a note that says that he's on an adventure.

The conflict of the plot is explored in the rising action. In this section of the story, things frequently 'become worse': a bad choice is made, the antagonist causes the protagonist harm, additional characters complicate the storyline further, etc.
The reader frequently learns important details of the past, and usually finds a deeper knowledge of the characters' motivations, the setting, and the ideas being addressed as the conflict develops.

The elves in the vehicle department of toys are making toys for Christmas the following week.

The exposition generally introduces the key fictional components, such as the plot, characters, and writing style.
Building the environment in which the conflict of the story takes place is the focus of the exposition.

Jerry: Head toy maker, goes missing. Billy: Jerry's son, beginning toy maker. Anna: Toy maker. Lisa: Toy maker
