Suspense is the rising action of a story, where tension is built leading up to the main event.

The main event shows the action within the story, where a hero may be trying to solve the problem in the story.

The solution is where the problem in the story is resolved, and the storyline naturally ends.

The extended ending is an opportunity for the main character to reflect on their thoughts and feelings after the fact.
