(1) Chapter 11 starts with Adam breaking his toe while doing a moving job. He only had to stay off the injury for five days and couldn’t work for a few weeks. Before returning to work Adam decides to move out of the shelter into the attic of a man named Mickey. When he returns to work he is assigned to work with a guy named Derrick who is known as the best mover at Fast Company. Adam soon decides to stop riding the bus and to get a car. He writes the driver a letter thanking him and spends a day car shopping and buys a truck. He starts working permanently with Derrick and a guy named Mike getting bigger moves at fast company and making more money. Adam’s boss gets mad one day and gives all the workers a talk about shaping up. After a while working with Mike, Adam can’t handle him so he asks to have Mike removed from his team.
(2) The tone hasn’t really changed at all from the beginning of the book. Adam still sounds like he is enjoying himself and learning from his experiences. Adam gets annoyed with some of the guys he has been working with, but also looks up to Derrick and thinks of him as a friend. He makes it pretty clear that being a mover is tough but it gets easier day by day.
