It has been ages since I have read this poem so I need some help. Well my nephew does actuall..
I need to know the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action or resolution of the poem. I am certain I got it right, but for my own benefits I'd like to know other answers. Thanks.

The "exposition" refers to a systematic interpretation of the poem; "rising action" refers to the series of events that lead to the conclusion of the poem, "climax" is the point of greatest intensity of the poem; "falling action" or "resolution" is how the poem finishes at the end. If you read the poem, each of these parts will become very clear and if you give your nephew these definitions, he'll probably be able to figure them out for himself (yes, you can help a little) and he'll be the better for it.

The poem is about the death of a beautiful woman, as lamented by her bereaved lover. The speaker is a man who has lost his beloved, a woman named Lenore. He is depressed, lonely, and possibly mentally unstable as a result of his bereavement.
* work out components of plot structure : exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution.
Exposition: introduces the setting, the characters and the basic situation
Rising Action: all events leading up to the climax
Climax: highest point of interest or suspense
Falling Action: events that lead to the resolution
Resolution: end of the central conflict
Denouement: any events that occur after the resolution
good luck

You know, when I was just a wee snip of a lass, my mother always guided me in my literature homework and she never flat-out gave me the answer. She would never have dreamed of it. In fact, she didn't give me answers to any class I took. Your question indicates that it is actually your nephew you are asking this question for.
And you know what? I happen to be very well educated because I know <<<<<<< WHERE AND HOW TO LOOK THINGS UP>>>>>>>> and as a result, I get along very well in the world and nobody pulls the wool over my eyes.
Get thyself to a library and look in the literary criticism section. All the answers are there. You make sure your nephew is there with you.
OR BETTER YET:
Tell him to read his textbook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(he can read, right?)

This is a poem about more than just a raven...it's mostly about the sadness that comes with questions as retarded as yours was! Read the poem again, or watch the Simpson's halloween special from a few years ago if your mind is that frail!!
