Towards the end of part one in In Cold Blood, Truman Capote starts to talk about other people and their story of when the Clutter Family was murdered. The paragraphs switch between Perry and Dick and a new character that he introduces that has something to do with the murder of the Clutter family. This character could have the tiniest role in the murder of the Clutter family and he would describe them so you would think that the story is about them, for example Mrs. Truit didn't witness anything she just heard about the murder and Capote spends two pages describing her and her family. Even though the new character that he is talking about isn't as important, he describes them and sometimes their occupation very well which then makes the character seem more important to the story. After reading the paragraphs on Mrs. Truit and her daughter, I felt that they were pretty important in the story but i knew that all they had done was call Mrs. Helm and find out details.
