ARE CAPOTE OR HIS FEELING OR OPINIONS APPARENT?
After reading Part I of “In Cold Blood”, it is apparent to me that the author, Truman Capote’s feelings and opinions are expressed in his writings. This is made clear through his tone while describing characters in comparison to his tone in talking about others. This is displayed especially when Capote writes about one of the murderers, Perry. Through his tone, which is ‘Pro-Perry’ compared to when he is writing about Dick, Perry’s friend, and partner in crime it is clear that Capote sympathizes with Perry. Such examples of Capote’s feelings concerning Perry are found on page 22, where it writes, “Said Perry. A dictionary Buff… he had been intent on improving his companion’s grammar and expanding his vocabulary,”, on page 48 when Capote tells us that Perry, “knew the lyrics of some two hundred hymns and ballads” as it is also seen on page 53 when he describes the pain that Perry felt in his legs in a way calling the reader to sympathize with Perry.
