my first impression of Mr. Clutter is that he is a decent person. "it was perhaps the only criticism ever made of Mr. Clutter as an employer", it use side description to show that Mr. clutter is kind to emploees and is admired by most of his employees and consumers. "otherwise, he was known for his equanimity, his charitableness, and the fact that he paid good wages and distributed frequent bonuses", author use word "equanimity" and "charitableness" describe his personality directly, aslo express his his kindness and responsibility.
my first impression to Perry is artistic and imaginative, "as he saw himself--'exceptional,' 'rare,' 'artstic' ", he want to protect his sensitivty and vanity and satisfaction, also religious believe to his destiny, his meeting with Willie-Jay and Dick

In Cold Blood: The Brutal 1959 Murder of the Walker Family
Could the two men behind the infamous Clutter family murders have killed the Walkers as well?

By Orrin Grey | Published Feb 26, 2017
walker family murder
On December 19, 1959, the entire Walker family was brutally murdered in their home in Osprey, Florida. Twenty-four-year-old Christine Walker was raped before being shot to death, while Christine’s husband Cliff, 25, and their children, three-year-old Jimmie and one-year-old Debbie, were all shot to death.

Clues found during the investigation included a bloody cowboy boot and a fingerprint on the handle of the bathtub faucet. Despite these clues, and despite upward of 500 suspects over the years, the case could not be solved.

In 2010, however, over 50 years after the crime, the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office took another crack at the Walker family murders case. Authorities acted on a lead that connected the 1959 murder of the Walker family with an earlier—and much more famous—crime: the slaying of the Clutter family, the very case that inspired Truman Capote’s groundbreaking book, In Cold Blood.

About a month before the Walker family slaying occurred, the Clutters were killed in their Holcomb, Kansas home by Perry Smith and Richard “Dick” Hickock. The Clutter case bore eerie similarities to the Walker case: both were quadruple homicides, with both parents and two children slaughtered (the Clutter’s other children escaped the violence because they were not home at the time).

After killing the Clutter family, Hickock and Smith fled to Florida in a stolen car, where they bought items from a department store in Sarasota, just a few miles away from the Walker home, on the very day that the Walkers were killed. According to the sheriff’s department, the Walkers had been considering buying a car of the exact make and model that Hickock and Smith had stolen. This might have been how the two men gained access to the Walker home: on the pretense of selling their car.

Perry Smith and Dick Hickock.
Hickock and Smith confessed to the murders of the Clutter family, for which they were hanged in April of 1965. Authorities suspected the pair of murdering the Walkers as well, but could never secure a charge after Hickock and Smith were cleared by the results of a polygraph test.Truman Capote devoted several pages of In Cold Blood to the murder of the Walkers, but ultimately, concluded that Hickock and Smith couldn’t have been the killers, as they had alibis.

Despite what Capote asserted at the time, subsequent investigations have since revealed holes in Hickock and Smith’s alibis, and some experts have asserted that polygraph tests of the era were notoriously unreliable.

In December of 2012, the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Department requested a court order to exhume the bodies of Hickock and Smith, in order to run DNA tests in an attempt to connect them to the Walker family murders. The bodies were exhumed on December 18, 2012, but it wasn’t until August of 2013 that results were officially announced.

Unfortunately, the results proved inconclusive. Due to the passage of time, only partial samples could be retrieved from the bodies, and these could not be matched to samples taken from the Walker home. Despite this, many still believe that Hickock and Smith are the most likely suspects in the slaying.

With Hickock and Smith long dead and now reburied, though, it’s likely their connection to the Walker murders will remain strictly hypothetical.

# data[].attributes.body
"weapon" which is a killing tool, make a connection to the murder just happened, "vaguely pink-tinted water" use color imagery, let reader associate it with red blood, express a sense of danger, perry is deeply sleepy after murder, express his strong mentality.
"not conscious of anything uncommon in his manner", the descripition of the prepared response, double negation to dick's "common" behavior express his abnormality and his extrme exhuastion that he even do not watch the basketball game, show his criminal master mind
so the ending is well written

The isolated village of Hulcome was located at a high wheat plains of western Kansas City. The land is flat, the view is wide, the environment was uncontaminated, with blue sky clean clouds and fresh air. the horses and cattle can be seen in the distance. Most of the men here wear jeans, cowboy hats and cowboy boots. The village is poorly built and unplanned, the external economy is poor, the dances have ceased, and the Holcombe Bank closed in 1933, the railway station and post office are dilapidated. One exception is Holcombe School, which is very rich and advanced compared to other buildings. The pace of life here is much lower than in the city where we live, and I have my own little piece of wheat, which I tend to when I'm free, and sometimes I fish or just stand in the wheat.

Great first attempt Michael. Remember to try and reach 4mins so you can develop all your ideas.

Strengths - You set out some context and a summary. Your focus isn't completely clear and perhaps there is room for some more development. You do refer to specific quotes and give your personal opinions which is vital for the individual oral. Make sure to make a clear point first and then use evidence to support.

Refer to more quotes and try to develop 3 main points but some good points raised.

Work on your pronunciation and making your points clear so the listening can understand fully.

Perry is superstitous, he belive that his encounter with Dick and William Jay is fated, is twist of fate. Perry has any presentiment of what is about to happen and abnormality.
Religious belief could provide shelters to the evil and the criminal, God is lenient and will forgive the killers. The residents in Holcomb will forgive the murderers of the Clutter  family, Perry and Dick just as God will forgive them. The evil will follow religion to seek spiritual and psychological peace, also calm the soul.

# data[].attributes.body
The gun control debate in the United States goes back to the nation's founding, when the framers of the Constitution first wrote the Second Amendment, allowing private citizens to "keep and bear arms."

Until 1968, handguns, rifles, shotguns, and ammunition were commonly sold over the counter and through mail-order catalogs and magazines to just about any adult anywhere in the nation.

The Gun Control Act of 1968 is enacted for the purpose of “keeping firearms out of the hands of those not legally entitled to possess them because of age, criminal background, or incompetence.”

The act regulates imported guns, expands the gun-dealer licensing and record-keeping requirements, and places specific limitations on the sale of handguns. The list of persons banned from buying guns is expanded to include persons convicted of any non-business related felony, persons found to be mentally incompetent, and users of illegal drugs.
