Briskly walking through the mysterious darkness of the menacing forest‚ grasping tightly my withering frozen hand‚ my petrified newly wed wife clung on for protection. It was pitch dark on a cold foggy night in the mid days of December. We were in search of somewhere to rest our staggering and lost bodies. My wife and I had been walking for miles through this never ending cursed old forest. Every step we made on the thin and almost transparent layer of snow had a sudden fall and we heard the snap

During my research‚ I found that ‘In Cold Blood’ was far from “immaculately factual”‚ as Truman Capote claims it to be. Firstly‚ in an interview with George Plimpton in 1966‚ Capote describes how he managed to input his opinions into the novel‚ without interrupting the novel.

Although he claimed to be 94% accurate at remembering interviews‚ he

Blood poured out of the wound in my side‚ and I gripped it as tears sprung to my eyes. I could feel every little nerve in my body slowly becoming numb as my body began to shut down. My heart began to beat slower‚ and my eyes grew heavy. I could barely feel my legs‚ but I continued to crawl away from the battlefield. The tears in my eyes began to spill‚ and I whimpered out loud‚ choking on the air that I breathed. I collapsed in to a pile of leaves near the base of a large oak tree‚ desperate for

Shray Amin Truman Capote’s attitude hey tries to convey in “In Cold Blood” is forgiving. In the book they KBI and the towns people mark the murderess as inhumane creatures‚ but later on in the story capote almost wants us to feel sorry for them because he tell us about the kind of child hood they had. I believe this aptitude he is trying to convey I captured very well in pages 252-253. In these pages Alvin Dewey is bringing Hickok and smith food because he doesn’t want them to sleep on an empty

talking to a child. The answer was right in front of her‚ say no say no. If she said no‚ then she and Ruven wouldn’t be punished as harshly then if she said yes. If she said no‚ then things would be easier. “Yes.” Her voice was cold as the ice from Dutchett‚ smooth‚ so cold it felt like fire when you touched it.

Descriptive Writing – The forest. [pic] A crisp winter morning and there was a frosty chill in the air. A sweet surrendering scent of the moist morning dew that cascades all around the sublime forest. The mixed cool autumn leaves from the tall trees lay scattered on the forest floor; they were in the motion of turning a brittle brown. There was the sound of shattered glass that emphasised the leaves being crunched‚ as if you were to step on them‚ pushing their papery remains deep into the
