Problem: In the article "All The King's Horses" From Welcome To The Monkey House by Kurt Vonnegut
Does Vonnegut take his own advice and what are examples from the story to support the claims and also respond to each phrase below individually with appropriate references to the story.
1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
4. Every sentence must do one of two things - reveal character or advance the action.
5. Start as close to the end as possible.
6. Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading character, make awful things happen to them in order that the reader may see what they're made of.
7. Write to please just one person.
8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. Readers should have such complete understanding of what's going on - where and why - that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.
