Law, Literature, and Society
This blog will be used by students in the 2009 Spring Quarter class of Law, Literature, and Society at University of Cincinnati to publish responses to some of the texts we will be reviewing. One goal is to have a dynamic interchange--that is, not just for one person (the instructor) to see the responses, but for any and all of us to read, comment on, and respond to ideas raised. I may occasionally interject another question or comment as well, to redirect some discussion in ways that may usefully lead into another topic or reading. Our first responses will be to the text In Cold Blood by Trumane Capote.

My question is more about Perry’s personality over the course of the first two sections then the murder of the Klutter’s. Is Perry’s belief that whatever is destine to happen will happen a true belief, or is his personality just passive and he uses this belief as an excuse?
ReplyDeleteIn my response I talk about the different points in his life when his personality changed as he became a follower. While with his father, while in jail with Willie Jay, and with Dick he has three distinct personalities. Following the lead of his closest friend at the time.
