In chapters 5 and 6 Adam work very hard and keeps on searching for a job in which he gets very frustrated. Chapter 5 starts out with Adam going to work with George on Sundays. He had to clean up dog poop and weed the garden as George asked him to do. When he arrived back at the shelter, he hears from a friend that there are free hamburgers around the corner at a church. They decided to go, and along with the hamburgers they had to attend baptisms. Towards the end of chapter 5, Adam decides that he is going to donate plasma twice a week for extra money.
Chapter 6 then starts off, and he decides that he needs some more clothes, so he goes to goodwill to buy some cheap clothes. He then goes on to applying for jobs, and he goes into detail about a moving job that he wants. He walked downtown to find this place, and he ended up filling out an application. This made him angry because the lady said that the manager would give him a call in the near future, which he knew would not happen. Adam then gets the idea that he wants to meet more people, so he decides to start buying cigarettes and going out to trade the cigs with felloe shelter mates. Adam then sees a man-purchasing crack and he gets very upset about this, and the chapter ends with Adam not finding a job.
The tone of these two chapters in my opinion is frustration. Adam did not enjoy working for George because of the heat and the harsh work that he had to do. Then in chapter 6, he was upset about not finding a job and also the man never calling him back about his application. To end it, he was very disturbed by the crack deal, and he spent a lot of time talking about how he did not like this.
