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. In the text, “hard blue skies and desert-clear air” describes to the reader an image of what the countryside appeared as. “The streets, unnamed, unshaded, unpaved, turn from the thickest…

t-shirt and a splat of blood on his cheek. “You’re bleeding,” his roommate informed upon his plopping on the couch. “I cut myself,” Tom said with a bit of forethought “Shaving?” the roommate asked. “Yeh, yeh.” “You have to throw away those damn disposable. You keep using and you cut yourself…” “You’re not my mother Ty,” Tom said. “I’d kill myself if I’d given birth to you, “Oh, no you’d be the proudest parent the world has ever seeen “Aren’t you going to wipe the blood off your…

The detail in the book, In Cold Blood, facilitates the reader’s understanding the imagery that develops suspense throughout. Dick and Perry (the murders of the Clutter’s family) not being “the kind to kick off his shoes and sit by the shore” worked hard to accomplish their murders clear from any possible clues that could be used against them. Nancy faced towards the wall covered with blood due to the bullet that made its way through the back of her head with her hands tied together,…

There Will Be Blood – Critique of Capitalism Movie Analysis The first twenty minutes of the turn of the 19th century epic There will be Blood of director Paul Thomas Anderson often amaze the audience.

Blood Simple features a jealous Saloon owner, Marty who hires a divorce detective, Visser to…

In the Blood Response I was very entranced, didn’t want to look away. There were a lot of parts that were sad. I felt bad for Hester and her children. I felt disgusted by and angry at her oppressors, particularly the preacher. It made me think about very real and prevalent issues like race and class.
