That's when I realized that I should write my paper about how Capote isn't a one genre kind of person, he likes to write his stories about anything and everything. I want to discuss the difference and similarities of his books, bust mostly the differences because Capote has so many differences between his books and stories.

Thanks for the thought Grandma!
Yesterday afternoon I was talking to my Grandma about the book In Cold Blood and Breakfast At Tiffany's. I was trying to persuade her to read some of Capote's books but she refused. She told me she didn't like mystery stories. I explained that Breakfast at Tiffany's wasn't a mystery and it was a book she would like because of it's quick and witty writing, where as in In Cold Blood, it was more of a darker mysterious writing. She still refused. Upon asking why, she told me that she had read a book by Capote a long time ago and wasn't very fond of it. Said it was too dark for her. Of course I needed to back myself up as to win this argument. I explained to her that Capote was one of those writers that you could never judge by one book, because all his books are so different. One of his books is about murdering four people, with disgusting details that explains one murder in five paragraphs, while another one of his books is about a girl that thinks nothing can ever go wrong as long as you're at Tiffany's and you don't have to know what's happening in the world around you, while a third story is about Capote's real life of how he spent Christmas one year with his Aunt and how he was so happy.
