5) Analyze how an author’s choices concerning how to structure specific parts of
a text (e.g., the choice of where to begin or end a story, the choice to provide a
comedic or tragic resolution) contribute to its overall structure and meaning as
well as its aesthetic impact.

The story I'm reading " In Cold Blood" is a story about a family of four who got murdered and there was no apparent motive for the crime and there was almost no clues left in which who killed them.  The authors choice of structure of the story begins in the begging where they talked about the family and jumped right into the murder scene. The Clutter family, was a family who was well known lived in a town where everyone knew them and got along. There was no reason at all that anybody disliked them. They had a sweet daughter name Nancy age 16, and a boy name Kenyon age 15. There mother name is Bonnie and there father name is  Herb. One night, a friend of Nancy's was suppose to come over and found them all dead. Nobody knew who could of done such thing to them. 
  The overall structure and the meaning of this was that the author wanted readers to get hooked into the book by talking about the murder in the begging rather than the end. It also involves they story of two individuals, Dick and Perry. Dick and Perry were both prisoners who meet at the Kansas State Prison. The author also talks about them in the story and some how they end up in the murder scene of the Clutters.
