Chapter eleven begins with Adam going downtown for work. This is the first time Adam has tried to accomplish his moving job in a crowded urban area. Unfortunately while on the job, Adam hurts his toe and breaks it. This injury becomes so unbearable that he has to quit doing his labor moving job and work at Fast Company doing non-labor intensive tasks. Adam also finally gets his own room; he rents out a small place to live from a guy who is a friend of one of his employers. His work also pays off in the end and he is able to purchase a truck.
Chapter twelve begins with Adam discussing some of the problems that come with working at Fast Company. He describes his charismatic and somewhat frantic boss who has a short temper along with his moving partner who doesn’t work well with others. Finally Adam confronts one of his managers and gets a new partner who he works well with. Adam continues to follow his goals and at the end of the chapter plans his move to a larger apartment.
Throughout these two chapters, the author uses simple diction in his description of events. He also sidetracks from the story as he asks questions to himself. These “what if” questions seem to be implanted to help the reader develop questions about his life experience. Questions such as: “What if this had happened to one of my buddies who had been washing dishes and had no money saved up at all?”. These questions are also spaced apart from the text to help them stand out more.
