Part I: The link used for video footage of Truman Capote is, http://www.biography.com/people/truman-capote-9237547 I see him as a chaser of the unique or outside the box type thinking. Maybe having something to do with his mothers ideals for him, she “often picked on him for his effeminate ways, and for not being like other boys” (“Truman”).

In the clubs and night life he would have been a novelty to have fun with, but I wonder if anyone would sit next to him in church? Writing dark, eerie, and murder stories along with a flamboyant character would be trailblazing, but not a person one might want to introduce to their proper friends (“Truman”).

    Capote’s In Cold Blood felt passionately written and as if he was there in every waking moment of the murder of the Clutter family.

Capote uses many literary devices within the book, such as imagery and diction to get his point across  that in his eyes Dick and Perry are in the wrong and yet do not deserve the punishment they receive for their crimes. Capote does send off a hint that death penalty isn’t a must for all and should be used every time unless the crime is extremely terrible.
