Kurt Vonnegut was a renowned novelist and satirist best known for Cat’s Cradle, a satire on modern man and the fate of our planet, required reading in many high schools, and Slaughterhouse-Five, a science fiction novel involving jumps in time and aliens. Below is a link for his talk on The Shapes of Stories.
Using humor and a chalkboard, he explains the shapes of some familiar story plots, for example, boy meets girl and Cinderella. Other story plots are succinctly explained and graphed in the text. A video is included in the link.
