THE TIME PERIOD OF 1935

By: James Rosenberry

10 P IECES OF DIRECT TEXT EVIDENCE

1. Pg.51 paragraph 7 in the book Al Capone Does My Shirts Moose says

“Not a double play combination like the famous Tinker to Evers to Chance.”

These are old baseball players that played back in 1912 that most people don’t

know today, but Moose knows because it was only a few years ago.

2. Pg.78 in the last paragraph Piper responds to the question, “How much for

socks?” and she responds, “Two cents.” Two cents was worth more back then.

3. Pg.145 paragraph 5 Moose looks at the golden gate bridge construction to

see

their slow work on it. “I look to see how they’re doing on the Golden Gate

Bridge today. Progress is slow.” The golden gate bridge construction was still

going on when Alcatraz was open

ACCURACY OF THE AUTHOR

1. On number one the author is very accurate

because the Tinker to Evers to Chance play was

very well known. On number two he was also

correct because back then two cents were worth

more. On number three he was also accurate

because when you look at the pictures it shows

them far from done. On number four he was right

because Bonnie and Clyde are old gangsters. Al

Capone was a real mob gangster. The author was

accurate for the rest of these
