In the begining of the second half of In Cold Blood, like many other people said, we learn about the aftermath of the murder of the Clutter family. We learn different people's opinions, and how everyone is holding up with this news. Most people question whether or not they are safe because the Clutter's obviously weren't. Toward the end of the second half of this nonfiction novel, Capote spends a lot of time and pages on Perry. It starts with Perry trying to figure out what he is going to take with him as they hike through the desert and turns into us learning about Perry's life. First we read a primary source from Perry's own father discussing Perry's childhood and how he was raised to be a good kid and new that he had to be punished when he went wrong. One realizes that the relationship Perry and his dad had was unbreakable. Dispite what Perry did his dad was in the picture. After this primary source Capote discussed Perry's life after he got kicked out by his dad. We then read a letter from Perry's sister that said "In case you want the truth about Dad- his heart is broken because of you. He would give anything to get you out so he can have his son back- but I am afraid you would only hurt him worse if you could"(141). Here we are able to see the relationship between Perry and his father. His father obviously loved Perry the most and there may have been jelousy evident in this long letter from Bonnie to Perry.
