  1. Chapter 6- First Impression’s

    The chapter begins when Alfred walks up the steps and into Donatelli’s Gym. The gym is crowded and neither Mr. Donatelli or Henry are anywhere to be seen. Alfred feels like he wants to leave, then he notices a sign that says how much people pay to work out there. Alfred reaches for his wallet, but he accidentally elbows someone. The person he elbowed was one of Donatelli’s neighbors, a dentist by the name of Dr. Corey. He gives a helpful tip to Alfred that will help him when he starts boxing and suggests that he does sit up’s. When Alfred starts doing said sit up’s some guys make fun of him for doing them too fast. Alfred then does them slower. when Alfred does the second sit up, Henry comes up and greets Alfred. Alfred asks what is in the box, Henry says its a cream that makes cuts stop bleeding and heal up. Henry says the cream is for Bud Martin, Mr. Donatelli’s assistant. Bud then gets into a fight with Red, a bigger boxer, because he wants to spar, but Bud won’t let him without supervision. Red attempts to hit Bud, but he fails and Bud does a counterattack straight back at Red’s face. Red gets tears in eyes while his face swells up and he flees from the gym. Bud then spots Alfred and gives him a ticket to the next boxing match. Bud wanted Alfred to see what he was going up against.

  3. Chapter 6-No lie
    The main idea of chapter 6 is Donatelli wasn’t lying when he said it was going to be hard. As Alfred was going up to Donatelli gym, he saw a lot of people working out. They were training to fight too. Donatelli was at a boxing match with one of his other boxers, so Dr.Corey trains Alfred. Red was ripping on Alfred for his close. The first exercise was sit-ups, Alfred thought he was really good at them till they showed him how to really do them and he thought it was a lot harder. Red wanted to spar but bud told him no, so red tried to punch Bud, Bud push his hand out of the way and punched red. Henry walks in the gym and has ticket for tonight's fight from Mr. Donatelli.

  5. Chapter 6
    The main idea for chapter six Alfred training. The chapter begins with Alfred walking into Mr. Donatelli gym to start his training where he was people were watching the boxing match as Alfred slowly walk in all he could see was a boxing match going on. As Alfred through about living the gym he meet Dr. Corey the dentist down stairs. Dr. Corey gave Alfred a little advice about boxing and what to do. Alfred went by the mats to work out when a bid guy named Red started to rip on Alfred because Alfred did not any street close. As Alfred was halfway through his workout Henry came in dragging his foot Alfred started to talk to Henry right when he walk in. Then Red walks up to Henry and told him that he needs a head gear but but bud would not let him and right when Red was about to hit bud smack his hand out of the way and hit Red. Then Henry came in and side that Mr. Donatelli left them ticks to see a fight.
