During World War II, the USSR and U.S were allies fighting against Hitler and the axis powers. Nevertheless, the political differences between the Soviets and the…

If a person is prosecuted, found guilty, and sentenced to a certain amount of time in jail, they get a rather hateful mindset of what has happen and more or less plot their escape. This can be drawn to the Capote novel In Cold Blood which shows how Dick, an individual in jail, thought up a plot for murder while being locked up. Some argue that individuals might find jail as an enjoyable experience as they are confined together with like-minded individuals, but that only…

put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind” (Kennedy). The Cold War was one of the longest, most poignant periods in United States history. It involved a deep, wide spread fear that Communism would pervade the world and invade the United States, causing a state of political hostility between the Soviet Bloc and the US-led Western powers.

Without America’s involvement the results would have been drastically different. Post WWII America became one of the most influential countries of the time and got into a power struggle with the Soviet Union. This struggle would be known as the Cold War.

In the opening of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, Capote describes a small desolate ghost-town that doesn’t even register on the map by the name of Holcomb, Kansas. This sounds like a place I would not want to visit. Capote conveys his thoughts about Holcomb through the use of imagery and selection of detail.
