Chapter 5 begins with Alfred at the park running in the
morning, training for boxing, when he’s stopped by police officers. After they realize he’s not a criminal, they
tease him and it takes his motivation away.
When he gets home, Aunt Pearl knows something is wrong and while asking
Alfred questions, Alfred says “I’m gonna be somebody” but he’s clearly
frustrated with his life. When he gets
to work, the Epstein’s call him into the office and question him about the
burglary, but Alfred doesn’t say much, and the day goes on with Alfred’s trust
lost. James, now out of jail on
probation, comes by the store, but ignores Alfred when he tries to talk to
him. Finally, Henry comes by the store
and mentions how Mr. Donatelli was asking about Alfred, and this inspires
Alfred to go to the gym that night.
Chapter 6 takes place is in Donatelli’s gym where alfred goes there for his training. When Alfred walks into Donatelli’s gym, he feels like he doesn’t belong there until Dr. Corey (a dentist) convinces him to stay, so he does end up staying. Next he meets Denny (the nice one) and Red (the nerdy mean redhead), Denny teaches Alfred how to do a push up while Alfred does sit ups. Then he meets Bud (Clarence) Martin (Donatelli’s assistant) who tells Alfred the basics of boxing. Next, Red gets in a fight with bud because red insulted him. In the fight, bud just slaps and punches once where red is beat up with a hurt jaw. Finally Bud and Alfred go to the Madison Square Garden where we will find more about in chapter 7.

Alfred explains to the cops he’s just training for boxing. The cops don’t really believe him so they ask who Alfred’s trainer is Alfred replies with “Mr Donatelli.” Now the cops only 1/2 believe what he says because they know Mr Donatelli.
