Student Response #1

Students, 

Here is your first 'weekly response'. Please construct a paragraph in response to the following: 

Read the passage from the section “The Last to See Them Alive” from Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood that begins, “The master of River Valley Farm, Herbert William Clutter...” and ends several pages later with, “...had small reason to complain.”

Then, write a well-organized response in which you analyze how Capote uses the Clutter family to represent the rising middle- class in 1950s America. Be certain to ground all of your assertions firmly in the text.


Be sure to write you name in the comment box so I know who responded and follow the instructions for responding provided in the study guide. 

Remember, this is an English class and points will be taken off for incorrect use of the English language, and any other spelling and grammatical errors. 

Due date: Friday November 4
