r: Jimmy the blind guitarist loved to prank himself. He had his butler put two drinks in front of him, one of which was poisoned. He picked one up and sipped it. By the taste he knows this one is the poisoned drink, so he immediately spits it out. Unfortunately, he forgot he still had gum in his mouth and spit the gum out at the window, transforming it into a broken window, a type of window that features broken glass. The shards of glass from the window flew into the street and punctured the back tire of his neighbor's motorcycle. Luckily, Jimmy was very rich and could have the vehicle replace before his neighbor found out.
Scene one describes Jimmy's character and provides exposition. Scene two advances the plot and shows how the window and motorcycle broke. Scene three describes Jimmy some more and advances the plot of the motorcycle.

    I watched Fatal Attraction with a friend and I said to him "that's what you get when you just want some fun for the weekend".

    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.…
