As I am starting out my research project, I have two sources in the similar content that is helping me figure out everything about Little Bohemia. I am starting out with two newspapers, Rhinelander Daily News and The La Crosse Tribune. I believe that these articles are appealing to the audience of Wisconsin citizens and those on the John Dillinger hunt. Both sources uses pictures and powerful words that indicate that John Dillinger is a dangerous person. The sources summarize the event at Little Bohemia. It suggests the repairs that are now needed for building of Little Bohemia. It also put claims to where Dillinger might be heading and what he would do if he needs the reader’s help. It also states that John Dillinger is America’s number one public enemy.

I believe that the information that these sources give are mostly accurate. They might be exaggerating the damage done to the building. Due to the fact to raise an emotion from the reader. It also sends out a message of danger that I believes needs to be sent out but I also feel like its too far. From reading these articles, I feel as if I was to stumble upon Dillinger I would probably be shot. However, I do not feel like that was the case. I believe he was dangerous but I don’t think he was like an Ed Gein or serious serial killer. He was a criminal.

I believe that these articles gave me a better understanding of the dangerous John Dillinger. I now know what he is wanted for and why the desire to catch him is so high. I also kind of figured out how he worked around the system so he would not end up being caught. Which I believe helps me understand why changes to the FBI had to be conducted after this person was caught. I believe that the next thing I really need is the information and plans that were used to try and capture John Dillinger. I need to look into the FBI directly and not so much Little Bohemia itself. These sources do not do that for me. So my next step is to broaden my research key words and find new sources.
