2. Explain where/how you see the dramatic elements (Freytag's pyramid) at work in "Trifles" "Love in L.A.", or "Battle Royale". What do you get (or DO you get) an exposition? Which moment/event signals the rising action? What's the climax? IS there any falling action? What's the resolution? Explain your choices using examples from the text

1. Jake seems to be very superficial or materialistic. The reasson why he gets in a fender bender is because he was daydreaming about agreat life. And when he meets Mariana he lies about himself but at the sametime wants her phone number as if wants to have a future encounter with her, but at the same time he lied about his whole life. Superficial people cheat and lie, it is nice to sugar coat for a moment but when it catches up, you will fall behind.

2. In "Love and L.A" the exposition is not really there, it is short. Nothing really is revealed only names and that it takes place on some kind of highway. The rising action starts when Jake daydreams about changing life styles and his image. He then still dazed out gets into a small accident where he meets Mariana, who he tries to hookj up with trying to get her number. The climax I would say take place where he finds out its not her car and she wants his address and number and car insurance company name. At the same time we find out her gives her wrong information on purpose because he does not have any insurance.The Falling action would be when she starts to take his liscence plates number and it is revealed to the audience that it is fake. He finally gets her number but he "both proud and sad about his proformance". He lied his way to her phone number. There really is no resolution only that he got her phone mumber but most-likely wont be caalling her because he gave her phony imformation. He then drives off.
