Capote Reflection

164 Words1 Page

Kyle, I watched this video as well, although I did not use it in my forum. I ended up watching several videos; I found him really interesting character. Capote indeed did have a swagger about him. I think his unusual voice and his unique characteristics were part of a persona he development. I think he knew he was different from others and wanted everyone to know that. I am sure that the 1960’s Kansas found him a rather unusual man. That being that Kansas was very conservative at that time. What I found is that people ended up accepting his presence because they knew he would be gone once he was done with his research. I thought Perry Smith was the lesser of the evil between him and Dick. Although in the end Perry was the one who killed

    For the case of Perry, that would have been the motorcycle incident and for Dick, the automobile accident. Rather than having been deferred by family or their own impulses, a physical scan of their cranial functions could serve as a reasoning behind their similar situations. Another unlikely yet probable theory is that with both their characteristics aiding to each other’s inner Id, they created their similar situation. With Dick’s planning and ability to talk and Perry’s ruthlessness, their forces allowed them to carry out the murder cleanly. It is also possible that their similar situations were very possible, Perry could have met Willie Jay instead and not work with Dick, one of them could have shot the other throughout their trip, or they could have never went back to Kansas and provoked the police to heighten their case.

    Reflection” In my reading of this assignment Morehouse College was established from a Baptist Church in the early 1800-1900’s. If understanding correctly, it came about for freed black men that had been degraded all their lives. Lacking education, also being stereotyped the black man really didn’t have much but their spiritual life that was done in secret. Seeing others before them go through this, I wondered how one could stand in that era?

  • Imagery In Truman Capote's In Cold Blood

    529 Words  | 3 Pages

    Imagery is prevalent throughout In Cold Blood, a novel written by Truman Capote about a rather wealthy family, The Clutters, that were suddenly murdered in Holcomb, Kansas in 1959. Capote used imagery in In Cold Blood to describe the surroundings that every scene is taking place in and how people can be shaped by them. In the beginning of the novel, Capote uses imagery to describe the Kansas town of Holcomb and uses that description to contrast with the brutal murders of the Clutter family. He says that “the land is flat” and that Holcomb is a “lonesome area” to emphasize the isolation and relative quietness of Holcomb.

Maybe they're just the ones who had to pay for it."(302). . Capote deepens the divide between Dick Hickock and Perry Smith best in Perry’s verbal confession and the retelling of the night of November 14th 1959. It's almost as if Bonnie’s discussion with Perry is a perfect catalyst for how Capote thought of the two. Bonnie expresses how she knew Dick was the one who had the truly sinister intentions,

    Dewey closed his eyes; “ he kept them shut until he heard the thud-snap that announces a rope-broken neck” (McClain). In addition to this, Capote mentions that Dewey could find it “ possible to look at [Perry] beside him without anger,with, rather, a measure of sympathy” (Capote 246). Dewey didn’t feel that way towards Dick even though he didn 't commit the murders. Capote’s bias makes the audience feel more sympathetic towards Perry and more hatred towards Dick, even though Perry is the killer. Another reason why readers believed that Perry shouldn’t have received capital punishment is because he has a mental illness.

  • Reflective Process Of Reflection

    The Process of Reflection The process of reflection is central to clinical supervision. Launer (2003) describes external and internal factors in supervision whereby clinical practice and sharing skills are external and reflection is an ‘internal conversation.’ Brunero & Stein-Parbury (2008) discussed the effects of clinical supervision in nursing staff and argued that self-reflection generates a sense of self-awareness and knowledge to the individual. Supervisees or students may be asked what happened during a clinical event, how they felt, the implications of their actions and what they would do differently if faced with the same situation.
