Summary, in the book Al Capone Does My Shirts, Moose, the main character moves from Santa Barbara to Alcatraz Island which is home to a high security prison in San Francisco. He’s struggling to adjust to his new life and starts to have problems caring for his sister who has special needs. There is also a troubled girl named Piper that keeps messing with him. Moose eventually make friends and they play baseball.

Conflict. The conflict of Al Capone does my shirts is character vs society because Moose the main character faces a plethora of problems created by other people, an example of this is his sister being special-needs or that Piper "the antagonist" keeps messing with him. Some people might argue that this book is character vs character because Piper is the only one aware that she is being mean but I disagree.
