I feel that we are always responsible for our behaviors and actions no matter what the circumstances are. For example, an attempted robbery gone terribly wrong does not justify the brutal murder of four members of the innocent Clutter family. Regardless of the rough adolescent lives of the murders they still have to take full responsibility for their actions. Although I do realize that children are very impressionable and often adopt many behaviors or habits of the important adults in their lives. That being said, as they mature they have the capability of establishing their own opinions and thoughts free of their parents' influence. Therefore I feel that the murders, Smith and Hickock, should be held completely accountable for their crime. I do not think that Capote should have showed either one of them any sympathy. Ultimately I feel that everyone is responsible for his or her actions whether they are good or bad. No one else can think for you or force you to do anything. In the end your decisions are yours alone and you should always be held completely responsible for them and should therefore deal with the consequences.

I agree with you about Capote giving sympathy when the murderers do not deserve it whatsoever. The only thing that I personally would add to this is that starting young we either do not know how to take responsibility so young or people that are immature at heart as well dont know how to take responsibility. So therefore Dick and Hicock should recieve no sympathy considering their immaturity towards their decisions and considering their age. By now they should be able to take responsibility.
