I) Introduction- Thesis
a) How the mafis isn't all that it appears to be by movies, books, and newspapers.
b) The mafia gets portrayed as people with money, respect, and an untouchable, invincible attitude. However, this is only in the movies, because in the real world they waste money, become a figure of fear, and get arrested. People think they can observe through movies and stories about mobsters, and they form an image of them, but in reality the image is very different.
c) Through examples of movies (Bronx Tale, Goodfellas, Donny Brosco, Sopranos, and Once Upon a Time in America). Examples through newspapers (New York Times, New York Post), and through books (The Good Rat).
II) Body- Proof that the mobsters dont live the lifestyle one sees in movies and books.
i. evidence from movies
ii. evidence from books
iii. evidence from newspapers
III) Conclusion
a) Repeat thesis in different words and add closing details
b) In conclusion, if someone only watches movies and hears stories, they will look at mobsters in a much different way than they appear after realizing the illusion of the mafia. These are just average men who have chose to live a different way, but in the end it turns out to become the wrong way of living.

The work that you'll have to do is in that body--hope it's going well thus far, giving specific examples drawn from specific sources (whether that be text or film)
