Turn of the Screw, The-Construction of story

The construction of a story should be organized to fit the needs of the story. It should have a pattern for the protagonist and harmonize with the characters and theme. Some stories do not seem to be very organized, for example, Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughter-House-Five” did not seem to be organized, but Vonnegut organized the structure using time.
