Rising Action
In the story “Sonata for Harp and Bicycle,” the readers are
introduced to the notion that people must vacate the building at 5:00 p.m. This happens during the stage of the plot
diagram known as the exposition. It is
during the rising action portion of the plot diagram that Jason, the
protagonist, wonders why they need to leave at that specific time. And, it is also during the rising action that
Jason decides to enter (and does enter) the building by doing so covertly.
