In How to Write with Style, Kurt Vonnegut informs us pretty much how to write with style. He explains how to improve your writing, and that the way we use our words in our writing can affect the readers about the author. First Vonnegut describes how to find a subject that you care for when writing.  He states that writers should not chatter to much about the topic, and to simply make it easy to understand. Also he asserts that if we do come up with a good sentence, not to use it if it goes off topic. Vonnegut expresses that the best style is when you being yourself in your writing, and to say what you intend to say although it doesn't follow the rules. He feels as if we should dumb things down a bit for our readers so that they can fully understand, and that we should be comprehensive at the same time.

    This is the right idea. The topic sentence could be a bit more specific and less obvious. What's the overriding theme to his suggestions? You do a nice job of covering the main points, though, and the signal phrases work well.

    Thanks!
