In the non-fiction novel In Cold Blood, Truman Capote (1965) gives his own narrative of the Holcomb tragedy in which a family of four living out on a secluded farm were slaughtered with a shotgun by the collaboration of two individuals for a seemingly few dollars. In this novel, Capote gives a thorough character description of the two murderers, Richard Hickock and Perry Smith, as he recreates their experience (much as he sees it as it would be from their eyes).

Truman Capote heard about this and decided to learn more about it and once hearing about it more he decided to combine this real life event and a little bit of his own creativity to create this masterpiece.

Crime and glimpses into the heads of criminal masterminds has always been something that fascinates people. Although crime is a terrible thing, the complexity and intricacy of it is something that people love to hear about. One can turn on the news at any given time and almost certainly hear an account of some form of a crime within ten minutes. In the novel In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, an account to a perplexing crime is taken to a whole new level. The Clutter family was a charming family of four that lived in the little town of Holcomb, Kansas. They were brutally murdered with no apparent motive by Dick Hickock and Perry Smith, two men that had

I think with all that has happened and since he has changed, he should not have to go to jail. He should have to apologize to Peter and then move on with his life because now Cole is healed and he knows now how it feels to get hurt by someone bigger and stronger than him.

Yes, Alonza did the crime and yes he should have been punished, but I think 13 years was a bit too much. You have people get a lesser sentence for taking someone life. I felt heartbroken to learn that this man missed out on so many milestones because he was serving time in prison. There should have been a better way to teach him a lesson or at least put him on a better track.

This video was very surprising, instructive, informative, depressing and occasionally infuriating. I have always known that there were a lot of factors that influence ones health, but I had never really expected it to be this disturbing reality.

Optimistically, after seen the video people can account to the things that need to be addressed in order to eliminate this factors and not be eager to judge a set of group of individuals.

     During Chris’s journey he never really opens up to anyone about his family. He doesn’t really show any affection towards them and if any it would be toward his sister Carnie. He writes in a letter to her stating that he is going to divorce his parents. The last time his parents saw him was after his graduation. Chris told his parents “ I think I’m going to disappear for a while” and that is the last they ever heard of him again.

Multiple times throughout the first chapter, the author repeatedly emphasized the weight of the objects and Ted Lavender’s death. Similarly to the author of In Cold Blood, the author’s purpose was to evoke emotional response from the readers. Instead of traditional approach, he chose to specifically describe each soldier’s heavy burden in detail to make us feel the physical and emotional pressure. In addition, by listing their personal possessions, the author was able to introduce several new characters otherwise unfamiliar to the readers. Ironically, Lavender, who was the most fearful and cautious of all, still died regardless of his extra preparations. The phrases “until he was shot,” or “when he was killed,” demonstrated how no one ever

He committed a crime and, therefore, deserves some form of punishment. The issue with Kevin’s case, unlike most cases, is not whether he did it; the issue is why he did it. The reason why someone committed a crime is not relevant in whether or not someone is criminally
