Truman capote in cold blood

Truman capote in cold blood

The idea of “The American Dream” is a recurring theme in American Literature. The narrator in The Great Gatsby speaks of
the early settlers who arrived on America’s shores with the belief that anything was possible in this land of limitless
opportunity. In Cold Blood is set in the Midwest, an area associated with traditional values and hard work. The Clutter
family was seemingly a living example of the American Dream. In a well-organized essay, discuss what this nonfiction novel
says about the nature of the American Dream, not only in relation to the Clutter family but also in relation to one or more
other characters in the work. Be sure to mention specific sections and incidents (at times citing directly from the text).
