Blood - Narrative Style Capote's structure in In Cold Blood is a subject that deserves discussion.

your friend one minute and enemy the next. Perry is the other charecter that I will talk about.

(Perry, 46) Roman society began by the influences of surrounding cultures and quickly grew beyond the confines
beforehand, memory and the soul bare many of the same qualities. The body and soul, however, also share this trait. Perry illustrates in his essay that the body and soul are similar because there is a "link" between one another, that is they both make up a person and are responsible for the qualities associated with being an individual (height, weight, character, belief, etc.). Perry also comes back to challenge this using the analogy of a river. If one goes to a river, and then the next day goes
friendship and respect. Harry got into a fight with "Gay" Perry Vanshrike, the private detective, on the roof top of his hotel.
