How are the books To Kill A Mockingbird and In Cold Blood similar?

Question

I know that the town is similar because the towns were very slow and dull until a major event caused fear in itself. What else are similar about the two books?

Answer 1

That's pretty much it...they're both very different types of works, one being fiction & the other a sort of documentary that reads as a story at times. Both very good though. The only other connection, though not very relevant, that I can think of is that the authors Lee and Capote were good friends; Lee dedicated her book to Capote and based one of the characters off of him.

Answer 2

The character of Dill is based on Truman Capote. He was Harper Lee's childhood friend. Capote wrote In Cold Blood.

Answer 3

One similarity is that the author of "To Kill A Mockingbird", Harper Lee is a major character in the real-life "non-fiction novel'. "In Cold Blood.
Harper Lee was one of Capote's lifelong best friends.
The character "Dill" in "To Kill a Mockingbird" was based on Capoe:

"Scout enjoys playing with her brother Jem and neighbor Dill Harris, a character based on Lee's lifelong friend, author Truman Capote."

And, of course, they both deal with murder.

Answer 4

To start Capote and Harper Lee were really good friends.

Answer 5
