I pulled the trigger. Bang‚ bang‚ bang. Two shots for each police officer that stood before me. I wasn’t high. I wasn’t drunk. And I definitely wasn’t crazy… “I guess the reason I shot them is because I felt trapped. At least that’s the reason I keep telling myself.” “So that’s the reason”‚ said the lawyer. “I guess. I mean‚ I don’t really have a reason. I just did it.” “Did you know who the officers were?” “No‚ sir. All I truly know is that I killed them‚ which makes me the murderer. I have

The excerpt from In Cold Blood‚ written by Truman Capote‚ represents a remarkable example of using suspense to interest the reader into learning key details. Understanding that his reader will not find an ordinary town interesting‚ Capote displays details so that they appear vivid‚ even if they aren’t. Truman’s writing works in direct reference to the setting of the story: accent‚ local language and slang. Holcomb‚ the name of this town‚ is “dry” and nothing has happened in the area up to this point

The survivors of the onslaught looked more dead than alive‚ their pale green-grey flesh almost rotting. Blisters bubbled like lava‚ their crimson spots cracked and flaking. The atmosphere was cold and distant. Not a sound could be heard‚ not even the morning bird song. No mans land was like a corpse. Not a sign of life could be found‚ not

Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood documents the quadruple homicide of Herbert Clutter and his family in Holcomb‚ Kansas. It is not a true memoir‚ as Capote was not a part of the events that took place; he traveled to Kansas immediately following the murders to write about the ensuing investigation and fill in the blanks about the actual goings-on in Holcomb‚ 1959. His writing is a true account of the murder from the beginning; not only was he in Holcomb during the investigation‚ he spoke directly with
