Everyone is responsible for there own actions and everyone has to deal with whatever the consequence is. Everybody knows right from wrong and we were all taught how to respect each other and “God and nature are both just and predictable. The murders seem senseless in this world; one learns that an evil can strike down anyone at anytime and no one can fathom the justice of it all” (Morris 3164). Everyone has to be responsible and control their actions even when something is wrong because justice is usually always served. The murderers knew that if they were to get caught then they will go to prison for a really longtime. According to Masterplots, “ The world Dick and Perry have created for themselves subjects them to the authority of others. Feeling victimized, they take revenge by victimizing other (Morris 3164). They lived in their own world and did not care about what was wrong and what was right. From God’s perspective none is good. There are no good people. We are all sinners and we live in a corrupt society. Regardless of the laws anyone pass, and if it is not in a man’s heart, he will not obey. Some men only do what they want to do and they feel like it not wrong. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have so many people in

But if the court sees fit to appoint me, then of course I have no choice.” This shows that from the onset of the case the defense lawyer did not even want to defend Dick and Perry.…

    Perry is deemed the ‘winner’ of this book, and by winner, the one who seemed to harbor the better reputation in the end. Even though both men are killers, Capote acts like Perry’s lawyer in hopes to reduce the stigma of who he was. Both men were guilty, but in making Perry the weak chick from the batch, it seems as if his death was unnecessary. Capote was torn to the ground in hopes of a better conclusion, he sympathizes with Perry due to their seemingly close paths, and he showcased all that he was and what he could have been. In conclusion, “In Cold Blood” not only involved the death of the Clutter’s, Dick, and Perry but the decline of Truman Capote as he had dug the soil in search for the rabbit hole that would save them…

    The complex way that the murderers are written almost makes one feel pity for Perry. The book analyzes the life of Perry before the night of the murders. His past is a very complex one that traumatized him. He was beaten when he peed the bed even though he had weak kidneys, his siblings committed suicide, and his remaining sibling wanted nothing to do with him, which all contributes to the argument later in the book that maybe he was insane because of his unfair and brutal childhood. Even as a child he fabricated things in his head to help him escape the torment of his world, he imagined “ ...that the parrot appeared, arrived while he slept, a bird “taller than Jesus, yellow like a sunflower,”…
