what's a climax and falling action?

Climax is the most intense part of a story and falling action is the after effects of the climax. Its what comes after

i believe that a climax is the main action that starts the story and makes it interesting and a falling action is what either causes the problem or ends the story i think it is the one that ends the story i hope this was helpful i haven't done climax and falling action in a while. :)

rudy is the nazi ideal, unfortunately for the nazis his ideal comes in the form of jesse the complete opposite of those who embrace the idea of white supremacy. over the course of the novel, rudy learns that he wants nothing to do with the hitler youth, and because of this his parents are forced to make a bargain; rudy's father is forced into the military, so that his son can remain home.   both liesel and hans influence that young man that rudy becomes. following han's example, rudy puts aside his own hunger to risk his life so that the jewish prisoners might have bread to eat.
