Dick told the detectives that Perry Killed the Clutters all by himself. I think after the detectives told him that he would be charged  on four counts of first- degree murder on page 229  made Dick betray Perry out of fear. The confession was so dramatic and tough that he fainted  in the hallway. That scene was interesting to me because I didn't think they would even confess. . I most definitely didn’t think that Dick would have confessed first because he always was the unworried person out of the two.

Triston Turpin, page 246

On page 246 it says "Among garden city's animals are two gray tomcats who are always together---thin, dirty strays with strange and clever habits." What I analyzed in this excerpt is that the two gray tomcats I think represent Perry and Dick. In the excerpt when it says that the tomcats have strange and clever habits which relate to Perry and Dick by being clever how they have done the murders and how they almost got away with it. Also in the excerpt when it says that the tomcats are thin, dirty strays it relates to Perry and Dick by them wondering around from place to place.

"The handcuffed men, white-faced and blinking blindly, glistend in the glare of flashbulbs and floodlights. The cameramen pursuing the prisoners and the police into the courthouse and up three flights of stairs, photograpghed the doot of the county jail slamming shut." This part used a lot of strong words and phrases that pull you into the reading and leaving off on a cliffhnager wants you to keep reading, it makes you want to know what will happen in the jail. Will they get away somehow? Will they be in jail for a long time?

On page 228, "Come right down to it, Floyd wasn't half as dangerous as Perry. Perry, if he lost his nerve and let fly, could put them both in The Corner. And suddenly he saw the truth: It was Perry he ought to have silenced. On a mountain road in Mexico. Or while walking across the Mojave. Why had it never occurred to him until now? For now, now was much too late." We see that Dick, once he is caught, completely changes his opinion of Perry. He now no longer sees him as a friend and an "assistant" but rather someone he should have dealt with, even more-so than Floyd Wells. I found this to be very interesting, as Perry and Dick have done everything (after the murder) together but now he has a completely different stance. Perry had every intention to talk to Dick because he just simply wanted to talk to him and wanted to see how he was. Dick, on the other hand, wanted to know if he had followed the alibi they had planned and if he had given them any information he didn't want to get out. This continues to show the contrast between Perry and Dick's character and how different they truly are.

In page 161 it said, “Did Mr.Clutter keep a safe? I won’t deny it- I told him he did. Because I seemed to remember a sort of cabinet, or safe, or something, right behind the desk in the room Mr.Clutter used as an office. Next thing I knew, Dick was talking about killing Mr.Clutter.” I think this text shows that Dick might be the one who killed the Clutters family because he asked a question to Floyd Wells if Mr.Clutter keep any safe and Wells said yes and next thing was Dick talking about killing Mr.Clutter so Dick might be the main suspect of the murder of Clutters family. - Pam

"Dick said,The comedian. You kill me."
This is showing me as the reader that Dick wants Perry to stop worrying and just forget about what they did.Also this shows me more about their relationship.Perry is now more worried about them making a connection and about the dangers of them moving.But Dick just doesn't care about the dangers and is acting like nothing bad will happen to them.Dick also talks about how they will spend Christmas in Miami and get out of where they are.But Perry isn't thinking about that and is too in his head to think on the good side.Dick gets frustrated with Perry by saying,"Why the hell can't you forget it?They never made any connection.They never will."(page 188). By the tone of the question I could tell that Dick was frustrated with the way Perry is thinking and what he is saying.Dick just wants Perry to finally move on and move past what they did.But Perry just can't seem to not think about the negatives.

¨no respect for people who can´t control themselves sexually,¨ especially when the lack of control involved what he called ¨pervertiness¨--¨bothering kids,¨ ¨queer stuff,¨ rape.

Indeed, hadn´t they almsot fist fight when quite recently he had prevented Dick from raping a terrified young girl?

On page 207 it says, "Mrs. Kidwell, a fanciful woman, had been standing at a window watching dusk tint the outdoors, the sprawling prairie. And out of the blue she had said, "Susan? You know what I keep seeing? Nancy. On Babe. Coming this way." My question is why does Mrs. Kidwell keep seeing Nancy after she died on a her horse coming toward her.

On page 160 it says "...not only had he known the murdered family, he knew very well who had murdered them." Throughout the story, I've noticed that Capote likes to use dramatic irony a lot. We already know who murdered the family but the characters do not. This excerpt reveals that a character in the story knows something about who the murderers are. I also feel like this foreshadows the arrests of Dick and Perry.

I think in the pages 224-225 it shows how Perry relying on Dick is a good thing and a bad thing. It shows how the duo works in tough deicision. it says "tell us the name of the motel" "Ion know u gotta ask Dick for that kinda stuff." this scene shows how Perry relies on Dick even in tough decisions and also a good excuse to not answer any questions. I think this is important because it shows and repersents Perry in a kind of light where he knows how to use his weakness in a good(bad) way. Even though he is a nervous wreak and a person who relies on others a lot

"Dick was reluctant; he had no objection to assisting hitchhikers, provided they looked as if they could pay their way-at least "chip in a couple of gallons of gas". But Perry, little old big-hearted Perry, was also pestering Dick to pick up the damnedest, sorriest-looking people." This quote describes that Truman Capote might be trying to get us to have sympathy with Perry with describing how he was helping others. This also shows the differences between Dick and Perry. -Anna Cagle

Dewey is walking, as it says, scuffling. I see this diction as a choice to describe a questioning sense. The body language that I imagine Dewey portraying is quite uncertain. It also talks about the leaves and I think leaves represent the still unsolvedness of what's really going on. So the collection of both of these things just creates a scene that describes the uncertainty hanging in the air.

On page 201 it says, “He was sorry he felt as he did about her, for his sexual interest in female children was a failing of which he was “sincerely ashamed” - a secret he’d not confess to anyone and hoped no one expected.” Not only is Dick a murderer but hes also a pedophile, which Perry has stopped him from doing things with little girls before.

“They shared a doom against which virtue was no defense.”

This quote describes the bond between Perry and his sister, Barbara. It also illustrates the relationship between siblings with abusive/neglectful parents and how that sort of upbringing can severely affect children and their relationship with each other. In the book Barbara has a successful and peaceful life, whereas Perry is the opposite, having multiple run ins with the law. Perry's existence is a constant reminder to Barbara of her haunting childhood and how she may also be faced with a frightening fate just as her parents and siblings. - Sophia Lian

On page 242 it says during Perry's confession “ I found he’d taken the girl to her bedroom. She was in the bed, and he was sitting on the edge of it talking of it talking to her, I stopped that” Dick was going to rape Nancy because he likes to feel powerful and in control which taking advantage of women gives him that feeling but it's also because he’s attracted to kids.

On page 164 it says,"Maria examined.." in that paragraph, I think the author Truman Capote is using direct characterization and comparison between Smith and Hickcock’s eye’s. To describe Smith’s eyes he uses words like: dreamy, sensitive and something more “mean”. While he describes Hickcock eyes as “forbiddingly criminal”, and then how Marie transfixed by Hickcock’s eyes was reminded of a childhood incident.
