In the novel In Cold Blood written by Truman Capote, Nancy Clutter was murdered along other members of her family. This novel is based on the murders of this family. Nancy was the “town darling”, (Page 7, Capote) she was intelligent, talented, helpful with her family, and was truly devoted to her boy friend Bobby. Little did she know that her life was coming to an end. She was murdered with the town left in tears and her boyfriend left for questioning. Nancy was a student in high school who earned straight “A’s” and was awarded prom queen. She was the youngest female in the Clutter family and gave her family her all. She helped with cooking dinner and house cores daily. Nancy was the daughter that everyone wished to have.
Nancy had a boyfriend named Bobby who was in love with Nancy but only one thing was holding them both back. “Mr. Clutter like Bobby and considered him, for a boy his age which was seventeen years old, most dependable and gentlemanly; however, in the three years she had been permitted “dates,” Nancy, popular and pretty as she was, had never gone with out anyone else, and while Mr. Clutter understood that it was the present nation adolescent custom to form couples, to “go steady” and wear “engagement rings,” he disapproved, particularly since he had not long ago by accident surprised his daughter and the Rupp boy kissing. (Page 8, Capote) Nancy put into great consideration that her dad disapproved of her and Bobby’s relationship. Nancy took Bobby seriously and loved him with all her heart. However, she considered breaking up with Bobby to please her father.
Nancy was the class president at her high school; she was the girl that every other girl wanted to be. She often helped out with everyone and everything she could possibly do. She felt that it was her duty to help when other girls came to her for help with cooking, sewing,
Time froze on September 11th , 2001. The horrendous event that took place on this day shocked the world. Fear, horror and grief were felt during and after this ‘cold blooded’ crime was committed. Time also froze on November 15, 1959. This was the day that the Clutter family was brutally murdered in Holcomb, Kansas. Although this crime is much smaller than 9/11 it still brought fear to a town that once had its doors unlocked. Truman Capote wrote about this murder in his book In Cold Blood. It explains how Richard Eugene Hickock and Perry Edward Smith were able to commit these appalling crimes. Their cold blooded nature is perfectly depicted in the way they executed these murders. Dialogue and symbolism were used to validate their inhuman attitude.

Objective 3: Having read one children’s literature story, A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon, the students will demonstrate an understanding of the text by being able to write 5 sentences describing the main themes of the story with 95% accuracy.
In the book In Cold Blood the people of Holcomb and other friends of the Clutter family are deeply affected by the murders. The people in the town perceive the Clutters as the family “least likely” in the world to be killed. Rejecting the idea that the killers were strangers, many of them become suspicious of everyone and anxious about their own safety in the company of their neighbors. According to Truman Capote, the author, it is the first time the community of this part of Kansas have had to undergo the “unique experience of distrusting each other” (page 88).
Throughout his nonfiction novel In Cold Blood, Truman Capote continuously contrasts the kindheartedness and innocence of the Clutters to the malicious, manipulative demeanor of Dick Hickock and Perry Smith to emphasize the cold, cruel nature of their crime. By harshly interrupting peaceful, endearing images of Nancy Clutter baking a pie with descriptions of Dick and Perry planning the town darling’s very murder, Capote consistently juxtaposes good and evil. His tactic descriptions of the seemingly discordant yet parallel occurrences in different settings and employment of strong imagery and pathos throughout the novel prove effective in not only developing characterization and appealing to the reader’s emotions but building the contrast between good and evil that
Once upon a time, there was a normal family who lived in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas. They were the image of the perfect family. The father, Mr. Clutter was “the community 's most widely known citizen, prominent both there and in Garden City” and “He was currently chairman of the Kansas Conference of Farm Organizations, and his name was everywhere respectfully recognized among Midwestern agriculturists, as it was in certain Washington offices.” (In cold blood, p. 6). His two younger children, Nancy and Kenyon clutter were both high school students. Nancy was “ a popular, pretty, virginal girl” who liked to “read, cook, sew, dance, ride horseback” (In cold blood, p. 84). Kenyon was a very sensitive and intelligent boy, a good carpenter
First ask the students to brainstorm what they think of when they think about the month March (i.e. windy, cold, St. Patrick’s Day, lambs, lions, etc.). Allow a few students to share their thoughts then, explain that March is known as the month that either comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.

When you hear the word “Snitching”, people think of a child telling on their brother or sister of their wrongdoings to the parent. The term “Snitching has taken on many different forms and meanings over the course of the years. The problem is, in today society, “Snitching” is considered, basically, a death sentence, or some type of harm will come to the person helping law enforcement solve a crime.
Natapoff continues in her line of evidence against ratting by saying, “According to some agents and prosecutors, snitching is also slowly crippling law enforcement” (299). She continues by citing Celerino Castillo, a veteran DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) agent who says, “Agents have become so dependent on informers that the agents are at their mercy” (299). What Natapoff means by sourcing agent Castillo is that by using snitches law enforcement is crippled by the information that they receive, due to the fact that each officer follows up on information to arrest the right individual. In Maxwell’s article he has a contrasting opinion, and pleads with the “svart” communities by saying, “To enjoy a decent quality of life in their communities, blacks must begin to help the police” (291). In his statement Maxwell is asking the “noire” communities to start snitching so police might better protect them, by ensuring the safety of the community. As you might have already deduced Natapoff and Maxwell can barely find any common ground between their opinions, however both have eloquently presented you with two sides of the same coin. So now it is for you to decide heads or
Snitching, does it really work for Americans? Some people believe that snitching can work to improve the quality of life in some communities. While others believe that snitching will tear families apart. Bill Maxwell writer of “Start Snitching” has a view that low-income neighborhoods can benefit if more people started snitching. On the other hand Alexandra Natapoff writer of “Bait and Snitch: The High Cost Of Snitching For Law Enforcement,” opinion is that law enforcement needs to change the way they handle snitches. Both Maxwell and Natapoff have views that can change the way we look at snitching.

This sort of phenomenon makes major headlines regularly in recent times and effects a clear majority of today’s youth. State and local lawmakers have taken steps to prevent this type of bullying by making illegal under several criminal law codes. Michele Hamm, a researcher in pediatrics explained, “There were consistent associations between exposure to cyberbullying and increased likelihood of depression.” Cyberbullying became widespread among students with the rapid growth in use of cellular devices and the Internet. With this kind of technology bullies have the ability to send harmful messages to their recipients at any given time. This type of bullying is the hardest to control because it involves students but often happens off school grounds. However, because the evidence is material, students and parents could bring this evidence to the school and local police departments if a situation were to happen. Parents should be mindful of their child’s use of the internet and electronic messaging, cyberbullying usually takes place in a medium in which adults are seldom present (Mason, 2008). Also, instead of sending direct messages to other students, bullies use platforms such as social media and anonymous blogs to post harmful things for others to see. Educators must understand the significance of social media use to their students, especially
