The Crisis Is Question, What Is the Character Going to Do?

The answer to the question is, what the character does in this situation. That's the climax. The resolution is what happens as a result of the character taking that action? Yes.

Now you don't want to have your scenes going negative, double negative,double negative, triple negative, quadruple negative."
