“Plot is a narrative term defined as the events that make up a story, particularly: as they relate to one another in a pattern or in a sequence; as they relate to each other through cause and effect; how the reader views the story; or simply by coincidence”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_(narrative) In my own words: A series of events that
happen in a story. My example: When Harry learns that
Professor Snape is after the Sorcerer’s Stone. The Professor lets loose a troll, who nearly kills Harry and his friends.

RISING ACTION
The rising action of a story is the series of events that begin immediately after the exposition (introduction) of the story and builds up to the climax. These events are generally the most important parts of the story since the entire plot depends on them to set up the climax, and ultimately the satisfactory resolution of the story itself.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dramatic_structure In my own words: The rising action is the part of
the plot where obstacles stand in the way of the protagonist achieving his goal.
My example: In Romeo and Juliet, the rising action are all the events that lead up to the death of Mercutio. The rising action of the book was when the Grandmother was murdered.
“A decisive point at which a significant change or historical event occurs, or at which a decision must be made.”
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/turning_point In my own words: The turning point is when the
characters change their way of thinking or living because of an event that had occurred.
My example: Mercutio humouring everyone and then enters the happily married and love-struck Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt now that he has married Juliet, Tybalt thinks that Romeo is mocking him but still refuses so Mercutio decides to fight for Romeo because he has dishonoured himself, Romeo tries to stop them fighting but ends up getting Mercutio killed, filled by his rage he kills Tybalt, both families rush to where Tybalt and Mercutio lay dead the scene ends with the Prince declaring the banishment of Romeo.
