How To Write A Short Story: Kailani's Mistake

Throughout the novel, In Cold Blood, Truman Capote’s analysis of the characters Perry and Richard reveal his opinion of the nature vs. nurture debate. Through his writing, Capote makes the reader feel sympathetic toward Perry, who is an example of the nurture debate. On the other hand, he paints Richard to be a natural criminal whom the readers are unsympathetic toward. The manner in which Capote writes about these characters shows how he feels about both nature and nurture’s effect on the human condition.

Never had she been so frightened in her life. The way he was angrily starring down at her with both of his hands in fists and bulging veins on his forehead.

I personally connected to this dialogue because I have had previous experiences and discussions centered on the death penalty. I did not realize the extend to which I despise the death penalty until some of my peers presented their arguments as to why they support the death. I found this very ironic because I previously supported the death penalty. One moment changed my entire perspective on the issue and made me realize the evilness behind the death penalty. My ten-year-old brother asked me last year why we have the death penalty. As I attempted to explain to him, the arguments for the death penalty did not make sense. When you are forced to explain something to a child, you began to realize the extent to which society has already shaped your thinking on an issue and you begin to justify such issues. There was no means for me to explain why we have the death penalty without justifying that getting revenge in the form of justice is acceptable. The death penalty is very hypocritical and reinforces the concept of retaliation and individualism. We tell children during school, if someone hurts you, you do not hurt them back. However, we are using murder, as a means of showing murder is wrong. That makes absolutely no sense.
