    It would explain that a story is like a roller coaster. It begins with an exposition/introduction explaining the setting and characters; this would be comparable to giving the tenant your ticket and hopping in the roller coaster car. The rising action is next which are events leading to the climax; this is the click-click moment you feel when going up the steep hill. At the peak of the big drop is the climax. This is where an issue or problem comes to a head. The downward slope is next, the falling action which leads to the resolution. All conflicts are resolved at the exit, like the trash can being ready at the end of the ride.
