The plot structure of a story starts with an (1)Exposition, then, (2) rising action, next, (3) the climax, then, (4) falling action, and lastly, (4) the resolution. I just recently read, and finished, City of Bones. There is always a plot structure in any type of larger type of writing, especially in a novel. The City of Bones plot structure consists on all the elements.
The exposition of this novel starts out with a girl, Clary, hanging out at a supernatural club that's for humans. She's with her friend Simon when she sees an attractive man follow an attractive girl into a secret room. After she follows them, she realizes they, being the boy, the girl, and the girl's friends, are nothing close to humans, starting off the rising action. In the rising action, she learns about his new world, her new life and the new world she discovers. She, and her new friends, find out major news about the new world and starting planning for what is to come. Then, the climax in the book was when a major event happens and they realize that there is a new revolution about to begin and they need to find a way to save the future. Then, a main character gets taken and then Clary feels like she needs to be the savior in it all, leading to the falling action. The falling action consists of fighting, saving people, betrayal, lies, and truth. The resolution is the new normal. In this book, the new normal consists of the characters living a life like the past, but knowing the truth. This book doesn't have an exact resolution because this is the first book in a series, so the book just introduced what the characters' new life turned out to be after the found out the truth.
