Action sequences refer to a series of events or actions that occur in a literary work, often involving physical movement and intense excitement. They are used to create tension, suspense, and engage the reader in the story.
Conflict: Conflict refers to the struggle between opposing forces or characters in a literary work. It often drives action sequences and adds depth to the story.
Climax: The climax is the highest point of tension or excitement in a narrative. Action sequences often build up towards this climactic moment.
Resolution: The resolution is the part of the story where conflicts are resolved and loose ends are tied up. Action sequences may lead to a resolution by bringing about significant changes or revelations.
