 * Greetings Experts!**

On this, your "home group" page, you will be writing a brief article about what you learned about each of the topics: Alcatraz, Al Capone, autism, and the Great Depression. Each of your paragraphs should paraphrase the five w's, h + double w that you learned. Pretty much, you are writing a brief article about what you learned, making sure you answered who, what, where, why, when, how and why it is important. Your group will be reading your page, and the others in the class, to learn about all of the topics.

=// Al Capone //= Al Capone might be known as America’s #1 notorious gangster. Alphonsus Capone was born on January 17, 1899, in Brooklyn, New York. He was the 4th of 9 children, and lived with his mom his whole life (except for when he was in prison). Al grew up in a rough neighborhood and became a member of two “kid gangs” the Brooklyn Rippers and the Forty Thieves. Although he was very intelligent, he quit 6th grade at the age of 14 because he got in a fist fight. Between his mischievous scams and mastermind plans growing up, Capone had a job as a clerk in a candy store, a pin boy in a bowling alley, and a cutter in a book bindery.Later on, “He became part of the notorious Five Points gang in Manhattan and worked in gangster Frankie Yale's Brooklyn drive, the Harvard Inn, as a bouncer and bartender. While working at the Inn, Capone received his infamous facial scars and the resulting nickname "Scarface" when he insulted a patron and was attacked by her brother.” (History files- Al Capone). Meaning that when Al Capone worked at Frankie Yale’s Inn, if he insulted any Patron’s he would be attacked by the manager’s brother. [[#Al Capone-In 1918, Al Capone met a girl at a dance named Mary, a.k.a Mae, Coughlin. On December 4th, of that same year, she gave birth to his son, Albert “Sonny” Francis. At the end of the year on December 30, Mae and Al Capone got married. By 1924, he was earning about $100,000.00 a week! Then, in 1926 Al was caught killing 3 people. Did you know that his signature way to eliminate people he didn’t like, was to rent a room across the street from the person he wanted to kill? During the year of 1929, his empire building was worth $62,000,000 and he was ready to have a war with George Bugs Moran, his rival. Al Capone went to court in 1930 because of his tax evasions.On October 17, 1931, Al was sentenced to 11 years of prison, and was forced to pay court fees that were $30,000.00! On May 4th, 1932, Al Capone started to serve out his federal prison sentence in Atlanta. Except he didn't stay there very long because he knew the guards at the Atlanta Prison and they were helping him escape when someone found out. Later, on August 2nd, 1934, he was moved to Alcatraz prison; where no one could help him because they made sure he didn't know anyone! "During Al Capone’s many prison stays he was written up for having too many pairs of underwear, keeping rolls of money in the carved out handle of his tennis racquet, and making his bed too often." (www.Alcaponedoesmyshirts.com). Even though Al Capone was described as a horrible person, he also did things that were generous. For example, he lobbied to get dating on milk so consumers would know if the was milk was fresh or not before buying. He also ran soup kitchens and provided food for the poor. So there is always a little good in someone.]] In 1918, Al Capone met a girl at a dance named Mary, a.k.a Mae, Coughlin.

So there is always a little good in someone. Al Capone didn’t teach his son to be a mobster gang boss just like him, in fact, he actually tried to persuade him to make good choices in life. As It says in this letter he wrote to his son, “ I am sure proud of you and pray night and day and mornings that our god above will always take good care of you and lead you onto your future to be healthy, happy and successful. "Yes, my dear son, you sure are heading on the road that will make your future a happy and successful one.” (www.Alcaponedoesmyshirts.com). Sonny did in fact do the right thing. According to the studies made by Esslingen, “Sonny lived his life as an upstanding citizen and later changed his surname to avoid any so- called ‘crime associations’ with the Capone name.” (www.Alcaponedoesmyshirts.com). When Al Capone was released from Alcatraz Prison, he returned to his home in Palm Island, where the rest of his life was relaxed and quiet. His body continued to break down and on January 21st, 1957, he had an apoplectic stroke. He woke up and seemed to improve until pneumonia set in on January, 24th. He consequently died the next day from cardiac arrest. ** Al Capone: ** Born- January 17, 1899, Died- January 25, 1947; he lived to be 48 years old.

= //** Alcatraz **// =
 * Alcatraz was a horrible jail for the worst criminals ever such as Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly. It opened its heavily secured doors in 1859 and closed in 1963 due to the budget and the buildings structure. It is now one of Americas most visited travel sites, located off the coast of San Fransisco. Back then, the criminals were not allowed to go into their cells during the days and had to go through horrible room checks where guards went through every item the criminal had. Also, even though this may sound weird, guards never carried any firearms when they were near criminals. They were kept in a tower that was heavily guarded.**
