    In Cold Blood is the first murder novel that I have read and it kept me on the edge of my seat majority of the time. The characters were amazing and I liked most of them yet the murderers in particular rubbed me the wrong way. Let’s start off with the man who I dislike the most in the novel: Richard Eugene "Dick" Hickock. Personally, I believe that he did kill a Clutter family member, despite his testimony just to not make his parents look bad in front of other people. He is a cunning sly fellow who does well when he has an upper hand in any given situation and loves to take advantage of other people.…

    In Cold Blood is a meticulously constructed collage of witnesses, victims, police, killers, and citizens and their experience with the Clutter Family and their murderers, Dick and Perry. Although the nonfiction novel centers around Dick and Perry, the story is told through interwoven accounts from dozens of people. Capote bounces between these sources like a director cuts to different angles, in the end editing together a continuous product that supports itself like brickwork. Like a director, Capote uses these cuts between people for more than just support. Capote uses his editing to tell the story he wants to tell; he manipulates the reader's opinions, softens and hardens impacts as he sees fit, and disguises everything as if it is a first…

    Capote does not successfully have an objective and sympathetic tone in this novel. The two ideas are opposites of each other and contradict each other. To be objective means that one sticks to the facts and does not base anything around emotions or opinions. Capote demonstrates this with the use of the testimony during the car ride with Smith, Dewey and Duntz. Smith explains the events that unfolded before, during, and after the murder and even confesses to killing all of the family.…

    In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, we learn about the horrific murder of the Herbert Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas. Capote uses a lot of detail to help illustrate the insanity of the murderers and the effect the murder had on the small farming community. The suspense that is a result of minimal facts and descriptive settings was an elaborate stylistic technique that gave effective results throughout the book. Capote writing the story in more than one perspective allows Capote to not have a bias towards either side. In one section in particular, Capote uses juxtaposition to emphasize the differences between the two murderers.…

    As John Morrison exclaimed,“It should be clear that the death penalty does just the opposite of promoting decency and respect for life... It can never be applied fairly.” Since the mid nineteenth century, inmates on death row have been murdered by a plethora of gruesome methods, such as venomous lethal injections, gas chambers, and electrocution. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, there have been 1,413 executions in the United States from 1976 to the present. Although the number of death penalty verdicts are decreasing, flaws in the American judicial system have caused an increase in the amount of punishing wrongfully accused suspects to the death penalty.…
