Throughout In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote, the two killers in the story, Dick and Perry, intended to gain wealth through robbing the house of the Clutters. A text-to-text connection can be made to F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, The Great Gatsby, due to the fact the protagonist in his story too tries to gain his wealth in an illegal way such as Dick and Perry do by also giving out bad checks in order to get certain items like jewelry that they end up pawning to get the cash for it before the faulty checks bounce.
When it comes time for the execution of the two killers of the Clutter family, Dick and Perry, they are relaxed and do not show any trace of panic among themselves as their final hours are up and it is their time to be hanged. A text-to-entertainment connection can be made to the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End because the movie begins with a line of pirates waiting until it is their turn to be hanged. Instead of starting to freak out as the get closer and closer to their deaths, they start singing and proudly walk up those dreadful steps to their ultimate death. In both executions the calm, eased feelings of the individuals facing their death is seen and felt.
