In the story, Melinda has a very strong relationship with her teacher Mr. Freeman. Since the start of the school year, Mr. Freeman made Melinda feel comfortable, and encouraged her to express herself. This reminded me of the relationship I had with my GLE teacher, since the start of the school year. Similar to how Mr. Freeman was always available to listen to Melinda, Mr. Santos my GLE teacher made me feel like he was always available to listen. When Melinda stays with her art teacher during lunch to work on her assignment, it is comparable to how I stayed in Mr. Santos’s office during lunch.
Truman Capote understood that using the right words and the right time can persuade readers to not only think as you think, but also make the audiences think deeper into the meanings of the words put in front of them. Using various rhetoric devices Capote sparked insight into Holcomb just by describing simple landmark buildings and the surroundings of the town. In one page the audience can completely grasp the concepts and emotions of the village.

On the contrary, people were so desperate for information, they were grasping at any leads and ideas they could possibly find.

Everyone knew everyone, no one locked their doors at night- until all of a sudden a well-known and uniformly loved family is violently murdered. Suddenly a neighbor wasn’t a neighbor anymore. The populace conformed to a general atmosphere of distrust and
