Fire of Peshtigo, Wisconsin in 1871 HOW DID IT START? No one knows, even today, with all the sophisticated technology available to go over the data and documents of that time, there was no singular starting point uncovered. The year had been very dry, and the abundant moist wetland areas (cedar swamps) had dried completely, making the usually moist peat bogs into tinder. Also, the hardwoods had shed their sparse leaves early and these leaves had dried completely. The evergreens had suffered much needle loss and this caused a thick carpet of dry needles on the dense forest floor.
To begin with, both Capotes were alike in a couple of ways. For example, the Capote in Capote in Kansas really understood the people he talked to. This was shown in the book because the detailed descriptions of the characters proved that Capote really paid attention to his research. In Capote In Kansas, when Capote talked to the murderers and the victims' family, he seemed to really grasped the people's personality.

But other than that I have really loved this book mainly because of the mystery behind the story. I couldn’t let the book down since I started reading it. It puts you at the edge of your seat which made me love it so much. I would rate this book a 10 out of 10. I also liked one quote from this novel “That’s what being crazy was, wasn’t it?
Up to his death a few years back Clemmons had always suspected foul play concerning Marilyn. He never considered it a straightforward suicide. Another obvious fact in the case is the lack of pills in Marilyn's stomach (the autopsy brought this fact to light). Her stomach was empty - aside from the grapefruit she had had that morning. The only way she could have died was by an enema.
Background: The Salem witchcraft trials of 1692 have been studied by many historians looking for the complex social, political, and psychological determinants behind the community wide hysteria that led to the death of 20 innocent Puritans. Ergot poisoning has been put forth by some as a previously unsuspected cause of the bizarre behaviors of the young adolescent girls who accused the townsfolk of witchcraft. During the early winter of 1692 two young girls became inexplicably ill and started having fits of convulsion, screaming, and hallucinations. Unable to find any medical reason for their condition the village doctor declared that there must be supernatural forces of witchcraft at work. This began an outbreak of hysteria that would result in the arrest of over one hundred-fifty people and execution of twenty women and men.

June 5, 1969 Dear journal, I’ve realized that I’ve not been writing since ’56 ,but that’s because we’ve been having some unpleasant weather. I know Oklahoma is in tornado alley, but there’s not been any tornadoes yet! Sometimes the weather gets so brutal that I take my wife and daughter to the storm shelter anyway. I think I might get my daughter a dog for her birthday on the 15th. Even though our money is based on how many eggs the chickens hatch, I’ll do anything for my daughter because…she’s the only one I have.
on April 16, 2009 does not describe the type of person the shooter was, but the effects of the impoverish conditions he was trying to overcome that had haunted him and unfortunately caused him to reach a violent boiling point. Long Beach Police Chief Anthony Batts said, “‘the motive of the shooting was still a mystery.’” He then went on to say that these suicidal shootings are becoming a national trend because of the tension going on today in our society. All in all, the entire article addresses the topic of race/ethnicity in a subtle tone in which it throws out key words and phrases that help us understand what kind of situation it is, where it’s taking place and ultimately the kind of people that are involved.
