In Cold Blood, written in 1966, is arguably Truman Capote’s greatest piece of literary work. The novel regarded the 1959 murder of four family members who lived in the small community of Holcomb, Kansas. This remarkable novel was noted for the author’s exceptional use of several literary elements. In an excerpt describing the small town in the story, Capote demonstrated his elaborate use of stylistic elements, such as diction, imagery, and tone.

reading this book. The major one I can see after reading the book and the article, “Truman Capote and the Legacy of In Cold Blood” is that Capote and Smith had a romantic relationship. There is homosexual content all throughout the book, even between Perry and Dick.

First, I think the indication of homosexual content was seen when Dick started…

everything has become more and more advance. People cannot wait until the next new hot item in the market. People crave this advance technology, but what they do not realize is that technology might be cruel, depending how people use it. I came across Tyler Cowen’s article, “Work and Wages in iWorld”, which explains the technology revolution in the world happening today and the disturbing consequences it might bring in the future. In Cowen’s writing and in my personal experiences,…

Describe your greatest contributions and accomplishments in education. My mother always alleged I became a teacher because I loved to chat, but more than that I loved to share. As always, my mother was correct. She believed in me, as well as numerous Tyler ISD teachers (TJ Austin, Bell, Moore, and Robert E. Lee) who educated me well and for this I will be grateful! It is my longing to believe in my students and encourage them to be the best they can be each day! From my earliest recollections…

family murders, which gained celebrity after the 1965 publishing of Truman Capote’s “In Cold Blood,” were the brutal slayings of Herbert and Bonnie Clutter and two of their children, Nancy and Kenyon, by 27-year-old Richard Hickock and 30-year-old Perry Smith (Garden City). The two killers, Hickock and Smith, knew each other from their time spent in the Kansas State Penitentiary in Lansing, Kansas. It was during their first stay in prison where Hickock heard of Herbert Clutter from a prison…

nothing but the truth which lead to his factual tone. This is demonstrated when he states, “The evening of Wednesday, December 30, was a memorable one in the household of Agent A. A. Dewey” (Capote, In Cold Blood 240). As well as when he begins to quote Perry Smiths testimony “Around midnight. Dick said it was seven miles away, he kept talking to himself saying this ought to be here and that ought to be there-according to the instructions he’d memorized” (Capote, In Cold Blood 266). These…

(1966)). Both Capote and Perry Smith had “some of the most insecure childhoods I know of and there are psychological records of it” (Nance). These insecure childhoods had an influence on how Perry Smith made decisions along with Capote. “Perry Smith’s life had been no bed of roses, but pitiful, an ugly and lonely progress”(Capote 245). Both of their parents were divorced and were abusive towards them. This connects with both of their past experiences. Truman Capote and Perry Smith also seemed…
