Post #2- Climax

Climax: Is the peak, or the major event that takes place in the story.
It is thought of as the most action packed part. Climax is one of the components of the plot, it comes after the rising action, but before the falling action and conclusion. In The Stranger, the climax is when Meursault shoots the Arab. For someone that has taken chemistry, a good way to remember that the climax is the peak is to think of an activated complex, see picture below:
