  • In Cold Blood Unbroken
    2020 RISING 11TH GRADE AP ENGLISH LANGUAGE SUMMER READING Students should read two books. Assessments will occur within the first two weeks of class and may include discussions, writing assignments, presentations, and/or tests. • These books are available in affordable paperbacks, online, or in local libraries. • Be sure the title and author match the assigned book and you are reading an unabridged edition. • If published with additional texts or stories, only read the assigned title. • These titles are taken from recommended reading lists for AP English exams and college- bound students. It is your responsibility to view all of these reading materials within a Christian perspective. While holding firm to your own beliefs, consider how any controversial elements reflect the flawed, sinful circumstances of separation from God and faith. #1 Required Book for all AP English Language Students: In Cold Blood by Truman Capote "Until one morning in mid-November of 1959, few Americans--in fact, few Kansans--had ever heard of Holcomb. Like the waters of the river, like the motorists on the highway, and like the yellow trains streaking down the Santa Fe tracks, drama, in the shape of exceptional happenings, had never stopped there." If all Truman Capote did was invent a new genre-— journalism written with the language and structure of literature-—this "nonfiction novel" about the brutal slaying of the Clutter family by two would-be robbers would be remembered as a trail-blazing experiment that has influenced countless writers. But Capote achieved more than that. He wrote a true masterpiece of creative nonfiction. #2 Required Book for all AP English Language Students: Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand (Amazon.com description) On a May afternoon in 1943, an American military plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood.

  • Death Sentences the Aesthetics and Politics of Last Words in ​In Cold
    Death Sentences The Aesthetics and Politics of Last Words in In Cold Blood, Capote, and Infamous ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Hannah Melville Senior Thesis Department of English Spring 2020 Melville 1 Acknowledgements This thesis was made possible through the help and support of many people. I would like to thank my advisor Lindsay Reckson whose thoughtful feedback and dedication guided me through the process, turning rambling drafts into a coherent work. Professor Gustavus Stadler introduced me to the novel and alerted me to its adaptations. The librarians at Haverford College helped me locate texts while on campus and aided me from afar, once I was home. I cannot thank them enough for their devotion to the students at Haverford College in these remarkable circumstances. Julie Hanss motivated me throughout this process, offering an ear whenever I needed to discuss an idea. My suitemates provided endless encouragement. I would also like to thank my family for supporting and accommodating me during this unstable time. Melville 2 When Truman Capote was initially sent to Holcomb, Kansas, in 1959, his assignment was to write an article about a recent murder for The New Yorker (Giordano). Upon his arrival, ​ ​ his inability to control his word count caused the intended article to evolve into the book In Cold ​ Blood. Since its publication in book form in 1966, In Cold Blood has been adapted four times.1 ​ ​ ​ Each adaptation presents different nuances to the story but respects the progression of events within the original text. The narrative unfolds as two men – Perry Smith and Richard “Dick” Hickcock – murder the Clutter family and attempt to evade the police.

  • In Cold Blood By: Zach Logsdon
    Justice in a Small Town: In Cold Blood By: Zach Logsdon The deliberate act of killing another human being is a close definition of murder. But what if the victim was actually the perpetrator of a crime so heinous that it shook your community to its core? Is killing this person also murder? No matter how just a given idea is in the abstract, when the time comes to carry out a death sentence, there are people who cannot find justice in the actual taking of an eye for and eye. Additionally, sometimes passion for justice dies out with the crowds as those affected by the crime have no choice but to replace their passion with patience and to turn colder as they wait for the system to mandate a moral end to the ordeal. In my small town, many people have been forced to consider the notion of justice, as the rape and murder of a seven year old girl on the property of my own public school has tested the community’s character. The alleged murderer is behind bars and has pled not guilty for the past year. Even with the death penalty on the table, the man has refused to plea bargain. I suppose I should not be surprised to know that many good-hearted people of my town, who I feel to be righteous and who I know to act in the interest of the greater good were more than satisfied with the possibility of a death sentence for this man. Some of them have even said that if this accused man is acquitted, they feel that a lynch mob will, “take care of him anyway.” I know I should not be surprised to hear these things, but I am.

  • In Cold Blood: Truman Capote in Holcomb, Kansas
    In Cold Blood: Truman Capote in Holcomb, Kansas Writer Truman Capote (1924-1984) traveled to Holcomb, Kansas, in 1959 after reading in the New York Times about the murder of four members of the Clutter family in their home in the rural farming community. Capote was accompanied by two friends, fellow novelist Harper Lee and Sandy M. Campbell, a fact checker at the New Yorker. Capote’s aim was to research the case, interview the investigators and others in Holcomb, and write about the crime and investigation. In Cold Blood, initially published as a four-part series in the New Yorker in 1965, was called a “non-fiction novel.” Though he employed conventions of novelistic writing, Capote claimed the work was completely true; quotations, he said, came directly from his interviews. Nevertheless, many have questioned the reality of Capote’s work and his use of creative license to imagine unknowable details. Capote’s involvement with law enforcement officials and with the men ultimately convicted of the crime, some speculate, may have colored the stories they shared with the writer. Snapshots Sandy Campbell took during his trip to Holcomb with Capote and Lee show the two writers with Alvin Dewey, the lead detective on the case from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, along with his wife. Photos from the trip include images of the travelers and their hosts posing tourist-style around town and outside the Clutter home, where the crime took place.

  • ANALYSIS in Cold Blood (1965) Truman Capote (1924-1984) “Capote Has, in Short, Achieved a Work of Art. He Has Told Exceedingl
    ANALYSIS In Cold Blood (1965) Truman Capote (1924-1984) “Capote has, in short, achieved a work of art. He has told exceedingly well a tale of high terror in his own way. But, despite the brilliance of his self-publicized efforts, he has made both a tactical and a moral error... By insisting that ‘every word’ of his book is true he has made himself vulnerable to those readers who are prepared to examine seriously such a sweeping claim.” Philip K. Tomkins Esquire (1966) “’Nonfiction novel’ is Truman Capote’s coinage in connection with In Cold Blood (1965), and his appropriation of such an incestuous phrase could well have been connected to his difficulties in writing fiction.... [Tom] Wolfe in The New Journalism demonstrates how fictional techniques may be adapted by journalists, to create the new form....roving back and forth in time; interior monologue, even stream of consciousness (all invented by the writer); composite characterization--the use of types to produce an individual; simultaneity of event (employed most effectively by Capote in In Cold Blood, where killers and their victims are paralleled); the invention of a supporting cast as filler.... One of the essential ingredients of the new journalism is that the author offers himself as an equivalent of the subject, or takes on a vicarious persona...Capote for the killers in In Cold Blood... Despite all its critical kudos and Capote’s vast claims for it, [the story] would have come to us better as fiction.... “A Time to Die [by Tom Wicker] makes Capote’s In Cold Blood, despite its fine writing and careful attention to detail, seem clinical and insignificant...

Because banks don’t keep everyone’s money all at the same time they take a little from one customer to give to another and vice versa o Soon, 25% of the country was without work compared to 4-5% today So there were traveling workers who sought work in states other than their own – a “tinker” There were long lines to wait for work People where very poor President Franklin D.
