the rising action of Duffy's Jacket

The rising action of "Duffy's Jacket" is everything leading up to the climax. I think that the climax of this story is when the monster throws the jacket on Duffy's head and says, "You forgot your jacket, stupid" because the mood changes at this point from scary and tense to funny and lighthearted.
