Perry And Dick
1,104 wordsThe book I chose to read and do my book journal on this quarter was In Cold Blood by Truman Capote.

In this book there is really only one part that I cannot figure out. Towards the end of the book Al Dewey one of the men responsible fo...

Shows Perry's Other Side
2,119 wordsPerry Smith: The Serene Man with the Explosive Temper Perry Smith is perhaps the nicest, most gentle-hearted man I've ever met in my life.

However, it is the story of his past that lends credence to the fact that he slaughtered...
