When I started to read these stories I could not find any sense to it, because the author just throw the plot to story to the reader(me). Also notice that the language used in one of the stories (Dangerous Days) was very vague or from the hood, but there is a reason it reflected the society (people) that usually lives in those areas low class crime, drug society. In “Midnight in Silicon Alley, the language is more sophisticated due to fact that in that area lives people that has a better social and economic position. This genre has updated in terms of times, the crimes are disastrous and cold blooded, bloody, crimes for drugs and others. More over I was ale to notice that women had a big power, in “Dangerous Days” Athena Powers was a very independent that tries to fulfill her desires by and seducing and controlling not just a man. Powerful woman that gives the order to kill and also do the dirty work herself is she has to, at the end she pretty much end up loving the protagonist. Here we can see how she fits the qualities of femme fatale, but instead of having a man doing the entire dirty job she is capable to use her hands. In the other story “Midnight in Silicon Alley” we see this organize crime, that is destroying the taboos that film noir could present such as talking about young prostitutes and how this manages to have many women and kids. But also this man downfall is mark by the main wife that could be femme fatale as well that end up pretty much winning with a new man that now has more power.
