The theme of christianity is very apparent in the book In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. It is present on the values of the Clutters and In the values of Perry Smith. Even though Perry believes nuns are bad luck (Capote 42) because he grew up in an abusive orphanage, the reader can still tell that he holds on to some amount of religion. His faith is symbolized in his visions of a yellow cross shaped parrot comes down to him whenever he is in need. He also values his friend Willie-Jay, the prison chaplain’s clerk, who was a godly man and often wanted to “save” Perry. Wille- Jay is brought up by Perry a significant amount of times throughout the book and has been very influential to Perry.
The Clutters are a religious family as well. Religion is such an essential part of their family that Herb Clutter wants Nancy to stop seeing Bobby Rupp because they are methodist and Bobby is catholic. Bonnie even describes her extended stay in Wichita as unchristian since she spent so much time away from her husband. They also go to church every sunday, religion is very important to them it kind of helps guide them.
In the Ted talk A Life of Purpose by Rick warren basically talks about christianity and its presence in your life. Rick Warren pastor turned successful author discuss how god’s intention for each of us is to use our talents and influence for good. He also talks about giving back in order to relieve yourself from the material hold. Personally i believe that everyone has good intentions and whether or not they use those good intentions depends on circumstances. I also think that it is apart of the american dream to be in a religion to get answer to what we don’t know and calm reassure us.
