Suspense (Monica)

             I think Capote does a good job on building suspense in the book because he does a great job at telling the story from different points of view. He tells the story from the killer’s point of view and how they plan to kill the Clutter family; he puts suspense when he tells the story from their point of view because we can feel what they feel and we can imagine what they are doing which makes the book more interesting. I think the best part were Capote gives good suspense is when Nancy and the other girl go in and find the Clutter family dead. The reason that Capote gives a lot of suspense is so that the reader could really know what happened not just between the clutter family but the killers, cops, family members, neighbors, and people that has ever interacted with the Clutter family. Some other authors aren’t really good with doing things like giving suspense in stories that’s why I think people really like to read  “In Cold Blood” even though they already know what is going to happen they still read it because they also want to know information about the killers and the police and how people felt when the Clutters got murdered. Capote knows people will read his books if he puts a lot of suspense in it, I think that why he chose to write about the Clutter Murder.
