What are four sentences showing the steps toward the resolution of the problem?

The plot of a story is made up of five basic parts:
exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution.  As part of the
exposition, an initial inciting incident is brought into the story.  This is an initial
conflict that basically gets the ball rolling and starts to make things happen in the
story.  For The Giver, the first important conflict is that Jonas
is chosen to be the new Receiver of Memory.

Since you ask
for four sentences, I will break them into the other types of plot after the initial
conflict that lead to the resolution.

The rising action of
the story is Jonas’s first experiences as a Receiver of Memory, when he learns that the
community’s memories will now be stored with him and he begins to see things he has
never known before, such as color.

The climax of the story,
when the conflict comes to its most serious point, is when Jonas watches the Release of
the newborn twin and he realizes that Release means death and the community kills anyone
who does not conform.

The falling action of the story is
when Jonas learns Gabe is to be released and decides enough is enough, and he and The
Giver plan his escape to Elsewhere with Gabe.

The
resolution of the story is a little tricky (because this story has an ambiguous ending),
but Jonas and Gabe either reach Elsewhere or they die in the
snow.
