i have to do a book report.....and?

Question

i dont know what a climax is...?
can some one explain what it is???


if it helps any...its on "A day no pigs would die" by robert newton peck...

Answer 1

A climax is the most important part of the book. It's the most exciting part, or the most meaningful, or something similar. I read "A Day No Pigs Would Die" a few years ago, and if I'm remembering correctly, the climax is when they have to kill Pinky.

Answer 2

The climax is the high point of the action in a narrative or drama. It's often a turning point, with the main character's fortune changing. In Shakespeare's Macbeth, for example (and I know you didn't ask this!), the climax is the murder of Banquo, after which Macbeth's previously rising fortunes begin to decline; then the scene in the last act in which Macbeth faces Macduff in battle could be considered a second climax. Get the picture? Now, to return to the book you're asking about, it has to be the episode in which the narrator has to kill and butcher his pet pig. As in more modern literature in general, the events after the climax tend to be mainly the tying up of loose ends or a tranquil aftermath to the preceding events--in this case, the death of the narrator's father.

Answer 3

The climax is the event within the story that marks the high point or the largest event. This is followed by falling action <== the events that wrap the story up.

Answer 4
