This was one of the events that wasn’t taught about in history classes due to the amount of people that were willing to kill themselves in order to obey Jim Jones.

    The Psychopath Inside by James Fallon successfully educates the common reader through an interesting and completely factual series of events. Although some may call this an autobiography, Fallon describes it as his mother’s, or rather a memoir to good parenting. As I was reading this story, I never had felt overwhelmed by the information or bored because of his excellent way of explaining even the most complicated topics, such as what his PET scan revealed, how the warrior gene (MAOA) affects the human brain, etc. Fallon’s book is not only a page turner, but educational. Fallon writes about himself, his family, and some of the people who assisted in his final diagnosis.

The fact that Truman Capote included these memories and old letters from their past was to show that he thought it played a part in the greater problem although he does not directly say that. He gives the reader the choice to decide for themselves, whether they think the awful childhoods of the main characters were the reasons they thought it was acceptable to murder a family in their own home in cold blood, or weather it was completely and fully their choice to commit this crime. From the way the writer describes Smiths past, it gives the reader the
