In the Great Gatsby, what is the plot outline including exposition, inciting moment, crisis, climax, turning point, and denoument?

Well, hopefully you would know the outline of the plot
from reading the book, but I will give you a short synopsis to help you research
further.

The Great Gatsby is a story of the pursuit of the
American Dream (happiness) through the pursuit of love, money, and pleasure. The story
is told through the eyes of Nick (a moral Midwesterner) but it is about Jay Gatsby who
represents the striving American in all of us.

The
exposition (or background information the reader needs to know to understand the story)
is somewhat told in flashback through Jordan. Jordan tells us of a young soldier Gatsby
who falls in love with the Southern Belle, Daisy. He is poor, and she is rich (which is
a problem). Gatsby is sent to war, and Daisy gets tired of waiting so she eventually
marries someone in her "old money" world and Gatsby comes home crushed that he has lost
her.

The inciting moment (in my opinion) is when Daisy and
Gatsby meet again in Nick's house after Gatsby has become wealthy and they start their
affair.

The Climax (in my opinion) is the confrontation
between Tom and Gatsby in the hotel, when Gatsby admits that he and Daisy are involved.
Daisy can't choose between them and dashes off in the car while Gatsby follows. Daisy
eventually hits Mrytle with the car.

The turning point is
when Gatsby is shot by Mrytle's husband and we know now that the dream has come to an
end.

The denouement (or falling action) is the funeral and
Nick's decision to move back to the Midwest. We see in his narrative how sad it was that
no one attended Gatsby's funeral...even though a few months before they all partied at
his mansion. It is a melancholy look at the hollowness of the quest for
wealth.
