DUTY
Moose seeks out a baseball to try and mend his friendship with Scout. He has had trouble making friends since moving to Alcatraz and it has been especially difficult since he has to care for Natalie every day after school and cannot join the other boys in baseball. Moose sees the convict baseball as his "in" with the other boys. However, when he finally gets one from Convict 105, he sees it as "dirty" and sees it as a symbol of how he might have endangered Natalie.
105
Ģimene ir galvenā romāna tēma, un Moose ģimenes dinamikai ir izšķiroša loma. Aļņiem ir mīļas attiecības ar savu tēvu, bet viņš ilgojas pēc viņa, jo viņš tik daudz strādā. Aļņa un viņa mātes attiecības ir saspīlētas, jo Aļns aizvainojas par spiedienu, ko viņa viņam izdara, lai tik ļoti rūpētos par Natāliju. Viņi visi rūpējas viens par otru un nes daudz upuru, lai palīdzētu Natālijai un ģimenei Lielās depresijas laikā.
Moose acts as a protector for Natalie despite being younger. He understands her in a way that no one else does and is the best at dealing with the challenges her autism presents. Moose is often the primary caregiver, but at times he resents this when he wishes he could just be a kid and play baseball. However, Moose is always there for Natalie and advocates for her even if it means reaching out to Al Capone himself!

SALA Alcatraz
Natalie's button box is an important recurring motif. It is her source of comfort and gives her a sense of control. Without it, Natalie feels lost. Moose understands how much it comforts her and is happy to allow her to use it when he is caring for her. Mrs. Flanagan, however, has been advised to keep it from Natalie so she can learn to cope without it. The struggle over whether to give Natalie the button box or not causes a lot of friction.
Alkatraza ir sala pie Sanfrancisko krastiem un maksimālās drošības cietums no 1934. līdz 1963. gadam. Aļņi nav sajūsmā par pārcelšanos uz turieni savas izolācijas dēļ. Sala ir arī simbols izolācijai, kas var pavadīt autismu. Natālijas autisms var likt viņai justies atvienotai. Viņai ir grūti sazināties, kas izraisa lielu neapmierinātību. Arī viņas ģimene ir izolēta, jo lielākajai daļai cilvēku šajā laikā nav izpratnes par autismu.
