Exposition: The beginning of the story tells about two towers in New York City.
Conflict: The police would not allow a street performer to walk a line between the two towers.
Rising Action: Philippe thought out a secret plan and carried it out with the help of his friends.
Falling Action: Philippe tied a heavy cable from the top of a tower to the other.
Resolution: Even after police arrived at the site to arrest him, the determined performer walked on the cable for over an hour.
This book was very well illustrated because it's pages open and extend so the reader can get a better visual of how high the character performed his stunt. This helps the setting come to life for the reader.
