Journal 3

Capote's stylistic writing techniques were known as some of the best and well-known of the century. His style of writing became so effective because of his prose styling was impeccable, and his insight into the psychology of human desire was extraordinary. His flamboyant and well-documented lifestyle has often overshadowed his gifts as a writer, but over time Capote’s work will outlive the celebrity. Some readers may have found his work monotonous because of the long sentences and elaborate descriptions of characters. In comparison to In Cold Blood and Miriam, both stories are mysterious and use a wealthy amount of description. The most obvious contrast between the two is that one is a short story and the other a novel. So far, I am up to page 41 in the novel, In Cold Blood, and i love it! I never thought I would like a murder/mystery novel, but turns out they're not so bad. This book really does remind me of a family in our small town. I do feel bad for what is and what could happen to the family. I also want to see if the mom is going to go crazy, more than she already is.
