In Cold Blood; Beginning - page 14

Chapter one, nothing really exciting happened in it. It's mostly all just descriptions of setting and describing the area of Holcomb, Kansas. Holcomb gives off a deserted feel and it has a small population with run down buildings. At the end of the paragraph, however, there's foreshadowing of shotgun blasts that kill four people. Mr. Clutter, one of the victims, is then described as a man with broad shoulders and dark hair; basically a full grown man. His family members were the remaining victims; children and wife. The Clutter house is then described, as well as his pay, job, and the failures he's gotten trough. The ending of the paragraph hints that that day was his last. The author brought up the shooting pretty quickly, so I guess the killing will come pretty soon in the book. Exciting!
