Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain

In the novel, Montana 1948, written by Larry Watson, an important event occurred at the end of the story in which the character Wesley finally stands up to his power obsessed father, Julian.

One of the biggest techniques that the author used in the book was a flash forward and flash back. Using that approach, was a representation that the characters in the book were not fully able to let go of the things that they had lost. In some sort of way, the story itself

In Cold Blood is a masterpiece of storytelling and visual representations that come from Truman Capote’s use of delicate details to his lucid language and even his imaginative imagery. Everything from the gruesome horrors to the magnificent beauties, Capote carefully crafts his novel into more than just another mystery plot, but into a piece of figurative language work of art that we will continue to study for many more years to come. He more than exceeds the definition of what it means to be an author, a revolutionary, because he makes certain connections in this novel that include spiritual implications that connect with the reader empathetically.

The story "The Man in the Black Suit" written by Stephen King, can take the reader back in time to 1914 to walk a mile in Gary’s shoes. Throughout this story there is a great deal of imagery.

Capote walks his reader through his harrowing novel of In Cold Blood using many intriguing mechanisms. Throughout the exposition of the book, he introduces the setting, an isolated town in the middle of nowhere by the name of Holcomb in Western Kansas. A contrast of Holcomb is created of before and after the murder in order to show the significant impacts it had on the community. Capote shows how the tragic murdering of the Clutter family traumatized and emotionally impacted the citizens of the town. By sustaining various patterns of contrasting peaceful and suspicious visual imagery, diction, and syntax, Capote achieves his goal in establishing how a once harmonious place with a tight knit community quickly evolves into a distrusting and

Truman Capote's non-fiction novel, In Cold Blood, relates the murders of the small Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas in 1959, the sand and harsh lives of the fugitive killers, Perry Smith and Dick Hickock, and their persecutors.
