Al Capone was born January 17,1899 in brooklyn,New York.He grew up in a rough nieghborhood and took part of two "kid" gangs":"Brooklyn Rippers" "The Forty Thieves Juniors".He quit school in the 6th grade at the age of fourteen. Al Capone's apprentice was Frankie Yale and he worked as a bouncer at Franke's nightclub at that job thats when he recieved he world known scars that gave him the nickname of "Scarface".He later met his soon to be wife Mea Coughlin.It wasafter their first baby was born that they got married.Albert "Sunny" Francis Capone was born Decmber 4,1918.cAPONE went into hiding for three months in the summer reputedly some 300 detectives looked for him all over the country. 
The article was helpful to my research because it showed me how his life was and how he gained power in the gang life.The web site was a secondary source because it was a story about Al Capone and it wasn't told by him .I believe that the intended audience of the document was for teens-adults.I believe this because it has many different conflicts of  his life.
