When we enter into the dissection of the short story Breakfast at Tiffany's, the reader must be skilled in understanding the ways of interpreting this book. This book is multi-layered and can point the reader in different directions based on their beliefs or background. Cultural context can be described by a person's education and cultural background.

The text was easy to read and used great descriptions to establish how a person would perceive Holly's appearance. It's interesting to compare cultural beliefs and context to present-day beliefs when reading novels from previous eras. It is my opinion that the saying “times change” is valid and supports this text as it relates to Separate Spherical Ideology. Work cited Capote, Truman. Breakfast at Tiffany's.
