Part B. If i wanted to make this completely accurate i would first take out all the aspects that made it untrue. For example, i would take out the women wanted the Prohibition more than the government, all crime disappearing with the alcohol, transporting beer through bowling balls, 200 year old law and bars being disguised as pet shops. Then i would now add in scenes that would make the episode appear more accurate like maybe adding the formation of the F.B.I. instead of adding only one guy. Also maybe forming more speakeasies in the town like the way it happened in history. Finally i would add a scene where bootleggers came into the speakeasies and pulled alcohol out of their bootlegs in a flask. But, overall i would not change the whole episode because i believe that it was portrayed pretty well; i would only take things out or add them in.

Simpson Espisode (Prohibition)
Part A. I think that the Simpson's episode portraying the Prohibition era in the 1920's had fictional and non fictional parts in it. The main parts of Prohibition were in the episode like speakeasies, gangsters trying to sell the beer and fighting and destruction the drinking caused. But things that were incorrect were when the women wanted the Prohibition more than the government, all crime disappearing with the alcohol, transporting beer through bowling balls, 200 year old law and bars being disguised as pet shops. I do believe that overall that era of the 1920's were portrayed well and i think that the accuracies do overweigh the inaccuracies. When the alcohol was prohibited and everyone was trying to figure out ways to sneak it in and the F.B.I agent was brought was the part that i saw being the most accurate. I did enjoy the episode and found it very funny.
