"In Cold Blood" Outdated or Not? (Ana)


I feel like the story is not dated. Even though it did happen 40 years before the actual murders it is written to where the book seems timeless. While reading the book the readers feel like the story has just recently happen. The story seems fresh and new well except for some of the things that occur in it. The way the book is written makes it seem like the deaths could of happen today.
            The language is perfect so that it doesn’t seem like it was a time back in the day its just a general type of language which is timeless. The details the author gives makes it seem like the story could be put in any time of era without seeming weirdly out of place. The description of the things they wear doesn’t give it the impression that they had different morals or that they wore different clothes then we do now a days. The way the peoples act also don’t really give the reader the kind of impression that it was written in a different era than they were born.
            If people later on in the years read this book it could make it seem like it was written during their time or at least a few years back. That is if the technology doesn’t improve so that it affects the story but other than that it is written in the perfect way to make it timeless.
