  1. Alfred mood in chapter 10 is mad. For an example Alfred snarled “why don’t you try?” When Henry tried to help him. Another example of Alfred being mad he said “time out.” When Henry said time, he said it was too hot, but i think he stopped because he was getting mad. The last example is when Henry said “you’re training, Alfred, you better not-.” Then Alfred said “i can take care of myself.” He was getting tired of people telling him what to do.

  6. in chapter 10 Alfred mood ranges from sad to happy and excited to annoyed. the first example of this is when he says to Henry ”i can take care of myself.” this shows that he is annoyed of people telling him what to do. a quote that chows Alfred is excited when he asks Lou, “Hey, are you Lightning Lou Epp?” and Lou agrees. the last quote that shows emotion of Alfred being sad is Lou telling Alfred to “forget it, i would tell my own son the same thing, especially my own son. forget it.”
