We don't think the informative texts have given us anything of value they where irrelevant to the story and they did not stuck on our mind. We think the things in the story could happen in any little american town fourty years ago. But we don't think the society in the text reminds of the society Susie tells us about in the book because Norristown is growing and developing all the time.
Here is some quotes that proves that the book takes place about fourty years ago :
"It was still back when people believed things like that didn't happen."
"The teenager who delivered the paper would pause on his bike, hoping that she would be near the door when she heard the thump of the Philadelphia Inquirer hit the porch."
Yes, society has obviously changed a lot since the 70s.
