It’s a warm and humid summer afternoon in Kansas City. So humid where you can just feel your skin becoming moist and sweaty just from standing outside. The gym is even more hot and uncomfortable. I’m a young adolescent in grade school watching my oldest brother play competitive basketball. Normally, I’m forced to attend these activities as I’m too young to be at home by myself. There were about 200 people just packed in one big gymnasium. Parents spectating, players working their tails off, and…

Where will I stay at for my existing 4 years or maybe years. So I did my research on the Kansas State University housing. As I am looking through my options, I was interested for the Kramer complex’s. My mom told me is it safe, healthy, and in good living conditions to live there? When I kept scrolling down it showed how it will have safety and good health conditions throughout the complex. According to the Kansas State University .020 Forming a Committee, Every College must have an active…

carefree, wealthy life that he craves (Capote, 1965, p. 194). His disregard of consequences can also be shown by looking at some of his other actions: robbing many different shops, using fake checks in order to reach his desired lifestyle, returning to Kansas after committing a mass murder, and murdering the Clutters in the first place. Along with ignoring the consequences of his actions, the reader can also see Dick’s lack of guilt over all of the crimes that he commits. While the normal person…

During the 1950s, Homosexuality was deemed a danger to society and social order, so much so that the Federal Bureau of Investigation kept a watch list of known gays and lesbians. In writing In Cold Blood, Truman Capote—an openly gay man—gives some evidence that the two men, Dick Hickock and Perry Smith, shared an intimacy beyond a simple friendship.

In a sense, Dick and Perry get more "screentime" than the Clutters do which leaves the reader to grow emotionally closer to the murderers. Generally, authors who write about…
