Al Capone Does My Shirts By Gennifer Choldenko

Significance

This work matters because it has very dangerous people and also some very loving people. The author is trying to say that anything can happen if you put your mind to it. I chose this book because I have been close to Alcatraz and was very interested when I went there. Well in this book the kid does a lot of things that could have a negative reflection like sneaking Al Capone a letter.

Perspective

Gennifer Choldenko wrote this in the time period of the baby boomers. Well if you don't know much about mentally retarded people then it might affect your interpretation of the book. This book would be very hard to explain to a third grader because it has things regarding mentally ill people.

Evidence

The author is not trying to argue anything but if he was, the topic would be that anything is possible. This author uses very descriptive words and is very good at panting a picture in my mind. This book doesn't have to be factual because it is not a non-fiction book.

Connection

There is no history to this event because it is not real. The knowledge from this book will help me when I ever don't believe in myself. This book will make me read more books about life and less books about peoples life because this book was kind of depressing.

Supposition

If this book took place in a different political system there wood be no alcatraz because all of the criminals would have been kill. If you changed one of the elements alcatraz would not be a prison because it would be on land. Life today wouldn't be any different if this never happened because it is fiction.
