Title: The Contender- Daniel Jones
Review: The Contender by Robert lipsyte is a great story. It is about a young african-american boy who decides he wants to box. His best friend is imprisoned for attempted theft because of the boys lapse of thinking for he knew that the store owner had installed a silent alarm. Alfred, the prisoner's friend, fights in a couple boxing matches and decides that boxing is not what he wants to do; or at least inflicting injury on another. His friend is released and gets hooked on drugs. Now it is Alfred's moral duty to put his friend in a rehabilitation. Can Alfed do it? Well I guess you should read the story!
