"Infamous" questions

You have until 9 p.m., Sunday, October 23, to respond to two of the following questions. Each response should be roughly 150-200 words and must be posted here on this blog. Please do not send them to my email account.

After seeing the real Capote interview (in class) and then seeing this depiction of him, where do you suspect his bias is most apparent in the book? Does his bias make for better storytelling, or does it bother you that the "true account" may not be entirely true?

Describe how Nelle (Harper) Lee is depicted as a foil for Truman.

Why did the director choose to incorporate the "interview" scenes with the members of New York's high society? What did these characters add to our understanding of Truman?
