Aluusions
These past pages had a lot of allusions, when they went to look at the Clutters home, and they found them all dead. It gave out this image of how the family was killed and what they looked like after the murder, where they were in the house, tied up and shot. Mr. Clutter had been shot in the face tied up with his throat cut, it was an awful image. Nancy and the mom had been tied to their beds, both shot in the head, and the ropes were tied up nicely, not that its a good thing, but it looked like they took their time doing it. Kenyon was in the playroom, toed to the couch, bloody, with his face shot. It was all a horrible image.
Plot/Structure
The Clutter family had been murder and its up to the police to solve it. Dewey is up for the case, and he investigates the house, the murders, and Nancy's Diary. He starts reading from the first pages when she was thirteen, till she wrote less by the age of 17. the last entry was the day she was murdered, she said "Jolene K . came over and i showed her how to bake a cherry pie. Practiced with Roxie. Bobby here at watched TV. Left at eleven." and now Dewey Suspects Bobby.
Character Development
The characters are well Developed. For example, Dick & Perry, it tells us why they are so vicious, and why they are alone. Dick was from a family unit, and Perry was torn away because of Mental health issues and such, and when they are both together, its just plain evil. The book tells us that Dick is more a a "Dick" and he is way into himself, while Perry tries to cope with his depression and mind problems. They both get ready to kill the Clutters. but still don't know why they would do it. I think it explains more when we get into the story.
