As the book moves on and you read through the story, every paragraph gives more and more information on what is coming next. As Truman Capote describes each character more and more, the paragraphs which he uses to describe them get more specific and not to mention longer. At the beginning of the book Truman Capote described the basic things about them, their age and what they looked like and what their interests were, but now a little later in the book he uses whole pages to describe one subject about them for example like how Kenyon and Bob aren't friends anymore and what Perry thinks about nuns. Truman Capote also gives hints about what is going to happen next. After Mr. Helm turns to walk home Truman Capote adds, "And that, he was to testify the next day, was the last i seen them. Nancy leading old Babe off to the barn. Like i said, nothing out of the ordinary" (41). He added what Mr. Helm said the day after the murder to before the murder in the book to give us a hint of what is going to happen. Truman Capote adds suspense with the placement of this quote to an earlier place in the book.
