The exposition of the story "You Need to Go Upstairs" is when Ally is sitting in her backyard garden with her mother and then Doreen comes with a visitor to help out since Ally is blind. Ally then needs to use the bathroom and she wants to go by herself. " 'Mother, I need to go upstairs,' and you hurry to say, 'I can go by myself, Mother.' "( Godden pg.1). The initial incident is when the visitor gasps in disbelief ,since a blind child wants to go upstairs to use the bathroom by themselves."  'Alone?' breathes the visitor"( Godden pg.2). Next the rising action is when Ally steps on a scraper which is a sharp mat meant for getting mud off the bottom of shoes. This is her first struggle on the way  up to the house." Someone, somebody, has left the scraper on the step. It has been pulled right out. You stand there shaking, boiling with anger, the pain hurting in your leg, but there is no sound from the garden; the visitor has not seen."(Godden pg.3).The climax is when  Ally faces her biggest fear and climbs to the top of the stares and hopes she will not fall back." You feel the stairs behind you with your foot and they are still there but now you are afraid to let go in case you can't step away. It is steep-steep behind you. Suppose you don't move away? Suppose you hit something-like the chair-and pitch down backwards? "(Godden pg.3). The falling action is when Ally finally goes to the bathroom and uses it and feels accomplished.
" Drops of water burst out on your neck and under your hair, and you leave the rail and step out on to the carpet and walk very boldly towards the verbena and warm toweling and the hot-metal-from-the-bath-taps smell"(Godden pg.4). The resolution is when Ally disproves the visitor and does the task she said she would. She completed her goal. " 'Is she all right? Is she?' 'Ally, are you managing?' calls Mother. 'Perfectly,' you answer, and you shut the loo door " The denouement of the story is Ally gained confidence in herself after proving the visitor wrong and completing her task that the visitor did not believe she could do.

Touch is a sensory detail that was used to show some of the struggles of being blind throughout the story. Ally enjoys being in the garden ,so she can feel the grass because it is comforting to her." The feel of the grass is good; when press it down and lift your hand the blades spring up again at once as strong as ever; they will not be kept lying down"(Godden pg.1). The sensory detail also symbolizes her life because the grass springing up symbolizes how she will never stop fighting and giving up because it has a flaw. It also foreshadows the rest of the story how it will face problems ,but overcome them like the grass springing back up. Another example of touch sensory detail is when Ally gets hurt on the scraper. " You stand there shaking, boiling with anger, the pain hurting in your leg, but there is no sound from the garden "(Godden pg.3). The narrator explains the pain and struggles of being blind through Ally's conflicts with her environment.

Direct and Indirect Characterization of the Protagonist

# data[].attributes.body
Ally is the main protagonist in the short story "You Need to Go Upstairs". An indirect characterization of Ally is impolite because of an action she did towards the visitor. When the visitor was shocked that Ally was going to the bathroom by herself; Ally was rude toward the visitor.
"You turn your back on the visitor." This clearly is evidence that she is rude towards people who have opinions that differ from hers. A direct characterization of Ally is independent and confident. Ally believes she can do a hard task by her self of going to the bathroom. When she completes the task her mother asks how its going and Ally response seems like if it was no big deal because of her word choice." 'Ally, are you managing?' calls Mother. 'Perfectly,' you answer" This quote shows that Ally feels confident in doing this task and is now becoming more independent.
