In Cold Blood<\/em> by Truman Capote. The book is based and also about the murder that happened in Kansas city in 1959. The story follows the brutal killing of the Clutter family in a small town. After that the book follows up on the court case and an investigation into the capture of two suspects. What I liked about the book is that it shows both sides of the investigation. The book also shows that the murder ends up effecting the entire community.<\/p>\n

Her children tugged at her, punched her; the oldest boy shouted, “Hey, Ma, that’s you!” But Mrs. Ashida was bashful; she rubbed her eyes with her baby \u00adplump hands and laughed. She was the wife of a tenant farmer; the farm, an especially wind\u00adswept and lonesome one, was halfway between Garden City and Holcomb. After 4\u00adH conferences, Mr. Clutter usually drove the Ashidas home, and he did so today (p.21).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In this quotation its basically showing the everyday life and the personalty of a couple of people. It shows that Mrs Ashida is a shy person that is also really gentle to her kids even when they are yelling and being punched. All of the kids pulling on her shows how this is a normal moment in her busy day to day life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
