EPIC simile
The berries blushed red like a lady's lips; like the gaping wound of a battle weary soldier; like the painted red of a tricycle or firetruck. The red of a poisoned apple freshly bitten by an imperceptive princess.

The power point project.
Already I've found way more information than I expected.
Nowadays crime is very broad, there's no certain successful Mob Boss or criminal that everyone talks about, so it would be much more tricky to do a powerpoint, and I suppose that was what I was expecting when I was assigned crime. However, in the 1920s and 30s crime made it's big breakthrough, with the beginnings of the Mafia and Mobs, and Gangsterism(I had no idea it was even a word). People like Bonnie and Clyde, Al Capone, and John Dillinger, the criminals that have made legend, became big during then. I guess I was surprised of how much I found, it's almost overwhelming.
It is really interesting to read about the Great Depression, and Prohibition, and how it put all these criminals into action. I've found my biggest obstacle is organization, and knowing fact from fiction. You can't trust everything that's on the internet so I've found myself doing lots of research just trying to prove one event factual. Organization even more so because there was so much that went on in the world of crime in the 1920s and 30s it's hard to decipher the important from the unimportant, what needs to be included and when. There were tons of criminals and events and I'd love to find out about all of them, but I need to find the biggest things, the breaking news, but it takes lots of digging up.
