The United Nation should first ban the fishing of sharks by restricting the season or different period that people cannot go out to fish the sharks, this can reduce the death of sharks. Furthermore, declaring a restriction about the numbers of sharks that each person or family could caught, all the sharks that had been caught should be register. Plus, government can design and post some poster and ads to change people’s mind about the sharks and reduce this stereotype. As a result, these fishers might stop fishing the sharks and find another way to earn enough revenue for living.

 

The Sharkfin industry saved a lot of people’s lives by providing them an opportunity to earn money. Although this industry is an underground market because, in most countries that killing shark is illegal behavior, it gives people a chance to feed themselves. These people might be low-skilled workers, so they can’t earn enough revenue. After having this underground market job, they can do these simple works “killing the sharks “to get absolute money. Most of the people who are agreeing to be the supporters of killing sharkers in a shark fin industry are participating in this industry already, so they don’t want to lose their job. At the beginning of the shark fin, the unprocessed fin sold by fishermen did not account for the high price of all the sharks. However, it was later discovered that although these fins are low in cost, after being processed into shark fins, many fishermen can make a lot of money, which allows them to get jobs and make a lot of money

 

On the other hand, killing sharks and produce into shark fins are destroying the ecosystem. Sharks are the predators of many animals, and they are at the top of the food chain. When sharks are killed by humans too much, their food such as large fishes, sea turtles, seals, etc. will increase within a certain period, but the number of animals that prey on sharks (killer whales) will also decrease, so the ocean’s The ecology is in a state of imbalance. The shark fins that people desire now have killed too many sharks, but shark fins are more of a symbol of people’s money. So those who call for the protection of sharks are eager to replace shark fins with other artificial shark fins, which also have the same taste as the previous shark fins. Excessive hunting of sharks will destroy the ecological chain, other organisms in the ocean will overproduce, seagrass will be reduced, and finally, a large number of fish will die. The ocean produces 70% of the earth’s oxygen, but over-killing will reduce the earth’s oxygen, and eventually, humans will perish.

In this novel, Perry and Floyd Wells are two specific characters that been creates sympathy and shows their significant.

 

Perry is one of the murderers in this incident, he and 🤬 committed the murder together, and they have a certain trust, but their trust is not stable. Capote creates sympathy for Perry by showing the oppression of his environment. Perry repeatedly said:’ I never thought I could do it’, he said this because it was Perry's first murder. He always had scruples in his heart, some fear, and some regret. Unlike 🤬, he can be so natural and calm. The environment Perry been let audience feel sympathetic. For starters, it’s very dangerous. Perry and 🤬 just killed the clutters. They could go back to prison again and be arrested at any time. Plus, in such a dangerous environment, Perry still has a crisis of trust with 🤬. Because Perry repeatedly stressed that what he did was crazy and regretted, 🤬 began to doubt that Perry was not a cruel person, and it might be dangerous to act with him. Perry's relationship with 🤬 is based on '🤬'. Perry won 🤬's trust because he told 🤬 about killing blacks. Now Perry has been suspected by 🤬, and the situation has become even worse. Readers can relate with Perry here and deeply feel the difficulty of Perry as a murder. Perry is a significant character in this novel because he is a special murder. He is not as cold-blooded as other killers. All he thinks about is killing and robbing. He also knows music and loves his family. It is precisely because of his particularity that creates sympathy for Perry.

 

Floyd Wells is 🤬's cellmate in prison and the one who tells 🤬 all kinds of details about the clutter family. Capote described the information Floyd wells revealed to 🤬 in prison, shows that he is highly suspected of committing a crime or helping to commit a crime, which creates sympathy for him. He was originally an ordinary prisoner. He just chatted about the clutter family in prison, but he made a big mistake, which made the clutter family killed miserably and was likely to be charged with a crime. Readers can relate this character because Floyd wells is also unintentional. In the article, "I don't exactly recall how Mr. clutch first got mentioned" shows that he really said it casually and has no special memory, so create sympathy for him. Floyd Wells is a significant character because he pushed this murder forward. Without Floyd wells, 🤬 and Perry might also do crime and murder, but the victim might not be Clutter’s family.

2.     The police don’t want 🤬’s parents to be very anxious, because they are old in age. Plus, the police just mention that 🤬 wrote dud cheque and violated the parole stipulated, that can put them off guard, told the police some right evidence about the place 🤬 have been.

At the hotel, the female homeowner also provided some time and Perry's personal belongings there, which allowed the police to infer the time when Perry and 🤬 fled. Capote’s purpose is to describe the whole process of discovering Perry and 🤬. This is one of the places to find their evidence. 

5.     Barbara might not be a credible source. When Perry was young, Barbara regarded him as a doll and had a good relationship with him. But after moving to San Francisco, their relationship became bad, only saw some photos of Perry.

6.     The Corner is a small room in the prison where the gallows are placed. Perry referenced that because if he and 🤬 been caught, they might be locked in this room and be sentenced to death by using hanging.

7.     Because even if there is some evidence, the evidence is not perfect enough to prove that Perry and 🤬 are the people who killed the clutter family. Moreover, the way of tying knots during kidnapping is also different. Furthermore, Dewey is to keep the facts of the case confidential. The press cannot publish the significant progress of these evidences. If Perry and 🤬 find them, Dewey will find them even harder.

2.     At 3:05 p.m. that day, Perry admitted that he made up the story of looking for his sister and told the police some incomplete details. He told the police this because the police said there was an eyewitness. He became a little scared, but he didn't dare to tell him the whole process of murder.

3.     🤬 tried to 🤬 Nancy, but Perry stopped him because Perry hated people who couldn't control their sexuality. Because it was not the time to fight at that time, they didn't seal Nancy's mouth, so they turned off the lights in the corridor and went to the basement.

The items in the cell are also cleaned up, and the bed is particularly flat.

4.     Perry wants to modify 🤬's confession that Perry killed all four people, but it's not. He swore that 🤬 killed Nancy and her mother. Because he didn't do this, he didn't want to take the blame for 🤬 himself
