Decent Essays
In the novel, written by Truman Capote, a story of the Clutter family is told. Father Herb, mother Bonnie, and their teenagers Kenyon and Nancy are a basic American family living in Holcomb, Kansas. In this story, the narrator tells the story of their lives. The family is murdered and the two men who committed the murder, Perry Smith and Dick Hickock, flee to Mexico. Fortunately, a cellmate of Dick’s knew what his plan was and where to find him. The law enforcement ended up finding Perry and Dick in Las Vegas, Nevada.
This book interested me because of the murder aspect of it, the way that the cellmate of all people was the person to help the police find the murderers, that’s so ironic. I like that the way that the family is introduced right

    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.…

    The stereotypes of the all-American family in the 1950s were represented by the Clutter family in the novel. Capote made the family as ideal as they can get, such as Herbert being the “widely known citizen” and the dominant man of the house, Bonnie being the “nervous” and frail housewife, Nancy being the “town darling,” and Kenyon being the studious and industrious child (Capote 6-7). They symbolized the perfect family of the 1950s and were well-educated and financially stable. However, they were such an ideal family that most would never have imagined a massacre upon them. Moreover, Capote’s representation of them as the stereotypical family proved to show how back then most people were just as optimistic about the future like the Clutter…

    What is the duty of a writer, one might wonder? Why do they write, and what must they include in it? According to William Faulkner, during his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, the “writer’s duty” is to write with emotion and to cause a reaction with people. In the nonfiction novel, In Cold Blood, Truman Capote, the author, fulfills his “writer’s duty” by switching the perspectives of characters and building strong character descriptions. As Capote tells the story of the gruesome murder of the Clutter family, his perspective changes between the killers, the lead detective in the case, and friends of the murdered family keeping the reader in uncertainty of how to feel.…

    Through the use of rhetorical strategies, Truman Capote manipulates the reader’s emotions by portraying Perry Smith in In Cold Blood as a sympathetic character. Perry Smith, along with his partner Dick Hickock, murder the Clutters, a well loved family in the town of Holcomb, Kansas. This small town consists of people, who immediately outkast the murders because they only understand their own lives, and nothing outside of Holcomb. Although there are two murderers, this rhetorical analysis will solely focus on Perry’s traumatic childhood. To share an outsider’s point of view of the situation, Capote uses simile, alliteration, and theme to influence the reader to sympathize with Perry, rather than to condemn him.…

    In the excerpt from the opening of In Cold Blood, Truman Capote sets the setting of his book in Holcomb, Kansas. His description of Holcomb compliments his story about a tragic murder that will be explained throughout the book. Through his usage of distinct visual imagery and dull word choice, Capote portrays Holcomb as a lonely, mournful, and lifeless town. Throughout his opening, Capote effectively uses distinct visual imagery to describe how the town of Holcomb looks like. He is precise and careful about every detail he puts in the scene that the book is opened up with.…

    In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote, is a nonfiction novel about the mass murder of an innocent family. Though highly acclaimed, the book ends up falling short of its nonfiction description, as the article, “Critical Essay on In Cold Blood”, argues that there is great bias in In Cold Blood in the form of sympathy towards the main character, Perry Smith, which is certainly true. Instead of following the conventional format of a nonfiction mystery novel, Capote uses In Cold Blood as an outlet to express his sympathy towards Perry Smith, the man who ruthlessly murdered four innocent members of the Clutter family. This evident bias hampers Capote’s attempt at an impartial account of the Clutter family mass homicide.…

    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.…

The series detailed the handling of Steven Avery’s murder case in 2007 and how it related to his exoneration in an earlier wrongly convicted rape case in 1985. Both of his cases fell under a heavy cloud of doubt in the veracity of the investigation, the validity of the charges against him and the trial that imprisoned him.…
