    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.
