Discuss the dreams and daydreams that have played in the book so far. What role do they play? Could they have been omitted and not affected the emotional effect of the story on readers? Why or why not? State your opinion, supporting it with your feeling of how the dreams affect the story.

There are a few things that puzzle the investigators about how much the Clutter murders took place. Choose three of them, and explain why they puzzle the police and KBI

What do you feel is the true motivation behind Dick and Perry’s crime? State your view and support it with evidence from the book.
