    In Capote's novel, In Cold Blood, he strived to create a non-fiction setting that would leave readers unable to set the book down. Some readers seem hesitant to label this peice of literature as non-fiction because of Capote's choice to contruct it with literary devices that are often found in fiction novels. Those who have read In Cold Blood began to question and challenge Capote's credibility as a writer. They felt that he should reconstruct the brutal murders of the Clutter family while remaining as close to the true story as he possibly could. Even though Capote used devices of fiction writing, it does not take away his crediblity but simply proves that he can write a non-fiction novel using a number of diffrent writing techniques from other genres.…

    Gilgamesh, written by David Ferry, illustrates a story about a man who knows everything, but continues to try and learn more. Although Gilgamesh may be arrogant, he still remains a great ruler and commander of Uruk. Throughout the book, the adventures of Gilgamesh fit Joseph Campbell’s idea of the hero’s journey. After analyzing the pieces to the hero’s journey, Gilgamesh is proven to be a true hero because his journey parallels that of the hero’s journey described by Campbell. The latter part of this paper will prove Gilgamesh is a hero using Campbell’s model, by analyzing the pieces of the hero’s journey: separation or departure, the initiation, and the return.…

    Through all the literature we have read this semester in great books, many of them had the same concept about the portrayal of women. In early literature women’s expectations in society were very different than they are today. They were viewed more like items and objects in the older culture that men used for satisfaction, instead of being actual contributors to civilization like in todays society. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, The Odyssey, and Genesis, women are depicted in a negative way by giving off a seductive, tempting, and conniving image, the influencers for making men make unwise decisions. The author of Gilgamesh is unknown, it was written in 2100 B.C. and the place of origin in in Mesopotamia. The author of the Odyssey is Homer and it was…

The novel is about a murder of four members of the Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas who were murdered by two men, which go by the names of Perry Smith and Dick Hickok. Throughout the novel Capote builds a relationship with one of the murderers, Perry Smith. The way Capote structured his book was that every chapter had a different character point of view, one being the town and the other being the murderers. Capote broke down his novel into 4 parts. The first part talks about the town and the people. The second part talks about the murderers and who they are. The third part talks about the actual murder and what really happened. And then Capote wraps everything up in the last part, which is the part readers find out the real truth behind the murder and the novel itself. The language Capote uses throughout the novel helps the readers realize that you can use imaginative writing with some journalistic reporting, so he wrote a nonfiction book with a little twist. Capote made sure that his readers understood the text and felt the text because he didn’t want them to treat this novel like any ordinary novel. The reason being is because; Capote manipulates reader’s minds by using different point of views, historical, biographical and psychological by utilizing the tone very well.…

    What does this story tell us about the culture that produced it? Base on the story of Gilgamesh, people did not fully understand dead or know how to cope with dead but instead they strongly believe in gods and mythology creatures. I believe that Men and Women are being view as equal and they are fairly open about their sexual lifestyle in the story of Gilgamesh. Men and women share the same level of social status and women play important role during Gilgamesh's era which can be seen as Shamhat, a mortal who was sent to by the gods to seduce Enkidu and change him from the beast lifestyle to human lifestyle.…

    Can murderers be justified by their actions and motives? There was surely a motive behind the murders of the Clutter family. Dick Hickock wanted to rob the family, but Perry Smith’s intention was yet unidentified. The Clutter case had become one of the most mysterious incidents that Kansas had ever encountered. It took many brilliant detectives from all around the country to solve this curious case. Countless numbers argued that the criminals were cold-blooded and that they deserved to be punished. Their actions couldn’t be justified; even the courts said so. But were the courts and the majority of the others discriminating against Dick and Perry? Apparently, Capote thought that the justice system was flawed and unfair on regarding this case.…
