What is a climax? Can it be defined as the most important part of the story? How about the most exhilirating? The most truthful, or revealing? Is it always clear? Tom Verde's "The Big Dance" has some amazing moments of climax. And it could be argued that there's more than one, if any! What the hell is a climax?
First I have to say: I am the first one to post again!
ReplyDeleteFirst: the climax is the decisive moment in a novel or play.
ReplyDeleteSecond:Yes we could say is the most revealing, exhilarating and truthful at the same time, but the most important fact, is how this decisive moments make realize the main characters and the reader of how,what and why they were pursuing the ¨something¨that brought him to this moment to then identify themselfs with a unique ideal.
Third:In case of the ¨The Big Dance¨the climax would the moment of how Bancroft was escaping the reality by hiding all the evidence plus getting drunk, so that's the decisive part in which it can be seen how the conflict will finish in a disastrous an uncontrollable solution or ending.
Fourth: I expect points...
Fifth:I expect not having some ¨Mateos¨saying that I am a .........(you know what).
haha..you're too much carlos..you get points man...relax..but the purpose should be sharing information...and don't worry..matthew's evil comments have been deleted and he's been warned!
ReplyDeletefirst: the climax is the moment of action in a story.the stories can have a lot of climax like this story but have an very important big climax that is like the ckimax of the story.
ReplyDeletesecond:He is so carlos
Hahahaha! Sorry Carlita...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I believe that the Climax may be applied in more than just stories. If one treid to think of the Climax, not of the story, but from Bancroft's existance, we could realize that the Climax is ussually like a turning point which symbolizes directly or indirectly the transition of phases in something.
For example, in the picture of the fight, that punch probably ended a round (or the fight)(or the other guy's life).
If I had to say which is the Climax in "The Big Dance", I would say... (thinking) that it starts at the precise moment where MElissa Mkwenderie, or whatever, dies. This continues towards the ending of the story when Bancroft is running away from the Gule Wa Mkulu or Nyau
What means ¨ckimax¨!!!!!????!!

ReplyDeleteExcuse me Matea: Normally ¨ussually¨is written usually and ¨treid¨ is written tried. Learn spelling my friend.
ReplyDeleteI will guess the next comment will be Dairos!
ReplyDeleteThe climax is a very important part of a story maybe it could be the most interesting one or the most important one. It could be that for one person can interpret it like the most truthful moment or not. It could have different opinions.
ReplyDeleteWith regard to Charles comment it feign that he only comment for points not for argue about the topic with the rest of his classmates.
I think that Matea isn't a good way to reffer to a classmate, and charles men is in plural and man is in singular learn how to spell it MY FRIEND

Lucho in my personal opinion, I would think that the climax is the most interesting and exciting part of a story! The part in which the reader is interested in reading more, where is the part where the reader says "that is the part" or something similar. But the climax not only happen in the books, also in real life in present, or a movie, game, fight, etc...
ReplyDeleteLucho if you want an investigation into the climax here is:
"definition: climax is the point of greatest tension in a work of literature and the turning point in the action. In a plot line, he climax occurs after the rising action and before the falling action."

Its a very interesting question: What the hell is climax!? Well, in my opinion, and from what i've learned from you (yeah, thank you very much) i could say that climax is the part of the story or movie that in a way could be the most important part because it could be explaining the past events, or getting to the main point of the whole idea of the story (or movie, book, or anything else): This is why its so important everywhere, because it is useful for any part of the story, and you could easyly find the climax when you know what it is and what it should be. Loo, im not sure which one could be the climax from "The Big Dance", so i cant help you with that; but i already told you what climax is so...Yeap, that all :)
ReplyDeletegood comments berni and lucia!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLé Lu rocks!
ReplyDeletegreat comments guys, but i'm' still not convinced i know where the climax is in 'the big dance'...if you notice, your responses point to different parts of the story....we'll keep talking about this as the unit goes on.
ReplyDeleteYeahhh looo! I totally agree with lu cause she's SOOO right! And yeah, she's tiping this =D And meli too, haha...You know you love us, xoxo
ReplyDeleteVale, Lu and Meli! =D
i could say that climax is the part of the story or play and it's really the most important part because it explaining the events, or the main point of the whole story. I also think that it's the part that gives the magic to the story and it's also the one that makes the reader want's to continue reading and get hook to every thing in the story!!!
ReplyDeleteLove u Lui!!
the climax is the greatest intensity and interesting part of the story, it also show us the progression of the events in the story. i also think that is the most important part of the story becouse it shows exiting part of the story and the main about it.
