What is the difference between the falling action and the resolution of a story?

• In the falling action the conflict starts to improve and in the resolution the conflict gets worse.

• The falling action is where the character solves the conflict and in the resolution the character is attempting to figure out how to solve the conflict.

• Characters are introduced to the reading in the falling action and the resolution shows how the characters have changed.

• The falling action provides a link between all of the action of the climax to the end of the story, or the resolution.
