 My reaction to Dick and Perry is supervised. I didn’t think they were going to be the bad guys so my reaction changed the more I read. Perry is conscious of the situation and the chance to criticize, and Dick is confident, almost to the point of carelessness. The difference between the two men is Perry’s always making more opportunities and checking himself against a harsh world, and Dicks carefree, not often aware of the possible consequences of his actions. I feel like they aren’t awful people but that they just get caught up in a bad situation at the bad time and don’t think correctly.

Miriam was one of Capote s earlier stories, so in a way they were lot alike in  a mysterious brain bottling way but Capote had gotten less traditional fiction over the years. I don't really like the story so far because its not interesting. The books just weird and written in  like hard proper English so you have to reread everything twice.
