Now that I have demonstrated, I would like you to respond to a quote during class. This first posting is due by the end of class today.
Quote #1“But afterward the townspeople, theretofore sufficiently unfearful of each other to seldom trouble to lock their doors, found fantasy re-creating them over and over again-those somber explosions that stimulated fires of mistrust in the glare of which many old neighbors viewed each other strangely, and as strangers” (5).
It's pretty sad that the townspeople coudn't trust each other anymore.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that if i heard bombs and explosions going off around me then i too would have my guard up. I would have my utmost attention put forth to protect myself and the people around me. I would have to imagine it was a scary time.
ReplyDeletePeople in the neighborhood cant trust one another. Its sad that wehen yoiu live near eachother you have to keep all your stuff and pretty much life a secret.
ReplyDeleteThe towns people where scared that the bad people would come after them so they locked their doors and didn't talk to anybody.
ReplyDeletepeople dont feel safe and are strangers.
ReplyDeleteThis quote describes the peoples reactions to the death of the family in Holcomb,Kansas. It tells the fear and how much people were in disbelief of the death's. It tells how the deaths happened...gunshots!
ReplyDeleteThey didnt seem that they were fearful after the first sentence. But the after that it seems like a really great story.
ReplyDeleteThe people in the town used to trust each other enough to leave their doors unlocked. However, after the murders none of them trusted each other.
ReplyDeleteThe neighbors aren't scared of each other since they don't even lock their doors. They are settings off explosions but no one is scared of each other.
ReplyDeleteSomething happened in the town that turned neighbors against eachother by making them scared enough to lock their doors.
ReplyDeleteThat people had to go in there house to hind and forgot about there friends
ReplyDeleteI understand why the townspeople were scared. I'd be scared if someone came in my house and killed someone as well. It's sad that people can't trust each other in the town anymore.
ReplyDeleteIm guessing that the neighbors are starting to protect themsleves. based off this quote.
ReplyDeleteI understand and feel for the people who were scared for there lives and there familys. Even the slightest of scares can make people question there safty and the sucrity of the ones around them. People start to turn against on another and not trust the peole they once did until there fellings have blown over and they start to fell the way they once did.
ReplyDeleteThis quote is explaining the reactions of people after the murder. The townspeople are now being more aware of their surroundings and being watchful.
ReplyDelete- Its sad that the townspeople were untrustworthy.
ReplyDeleteThis quote represtents the unease in the small town following the Clutter family murders. At this time there were no known suspects, so the town was at ease. No one knew who to trust.
