Summary Of The Thief And In Cold Blood

Some required readings I have enjoyed in my highschool experience are The Thief and The Dogs and In Cold Blood. The Thief and the Dogs was an enjoyable read because it had vast information of the status of life and culture after the Egyptian Revolution. Egypt has always been an interesting topic to me, but sadly is never covered in the history curriculum. I leaned about how the poor and revolutionaries would at times lose their sanity in order to challenge the new structure of society.

In Cold Blood is a murder mystery with a very interesting structure. The point of view actively switches from the detectives and the murders themselves. The author's choice of doing this allowed an unwrapping of the desires and purposes of those who go against
society's rules and those who dedicate their life to uphold those regulation. It was a new and interesting experience.
