After reading the entire book:
Capote effectively uses a rhetorical device called antithesis. Antithesis is the contrast of ideas or words in parallel constructions. Remember Julius Caesar (heavy sigh)? Brutus says, “Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.” That’s an excellent use of antithesis, and it definitely touches an audience in distinct and varied ways. Where do you notice Capote’s use of antithesis? How does it affect you as the reader?
