The mood

of the

largely
bright but
changes to
sadness in
the last
page.

Interesting how Capote

writes this first
paragraph like he is
telling you to imagine
something. It however is
actually being told by
Buddy making for an
interesting point of view
throughout the story.

To me Buddy's friend's life seems pretty

boring especially that she never been more
than five mile radius away from the house
that she lives in. However even though her
life is tough she always does what she
thinks is right especially for Buddy even if it
isn't right. However she often doesn't know
what's right and wrong.

Buddy's friend acting like she is 5. Won't

get out of bed on the 13th. You think that
Buddy's friend might make another
strange decision like this that aects
Buddy and her in some way.

This passage shows that while the

have educated and know that's
not a good idea.

The paragraph above is

an example of a section
of syntax where Capote
uses sentence patterns.
He makes the sentence
very short and not very
smooth to show both the
wrath of the relatives and
how Buddy sees the
relatives as scary big
monsters that are the
authority.

Buddy's friend is very

religious. It sense that
besides Buddy himself
and her fruitcake's that is
one of the few things she
cares about in life.

Shows Diction of southAlabama.

That the family is eating fried squirrel

for breakfast shows the culture and
diction of the South.

There are multiple points in this

narrative work Capote is trying to
make. He is trying to explain his
childhood and the dierent culture and
way he grew up. However he is also
trying to say how important family,
tradition, and friendship and that shall
not be broken.

Highlighted shows who the authority in

the house and that the rest of the family
doesn't respect Buddy's friend.

Chronology becomes important as

you see after all the fun times Buddy
and his friend have by the authority
masters make them come to an end
and eventually the fun never returns
and never can.
