Chapter 6 Graphic Organizer Kaylee Moore

Chapter six is about Ned finding male dominated jobs or what Vincent refers to as “Red Bull” jobs. While looking through the want ads Ned tries to find positions that he is qualified for and Vincent fudges her resume a little bit to make Ned look good. Vincent is also excited for Ned to be wearing dress clothes. These clothes are the true essence of a working man, and Ned looks better in them than his normal everyday shabby clothing. He is dressed the part and looking professional for his many interviews. The interviews went well for Ned. He was cocky, confident and down to the point, qualities that women do not use during interviews. It seemed as though the interviewers respected Ned for these qualities. There was even an instance when Ned dropped an F bomb in the middle of an interview, and the interviewed thought it to be “refreshing.” Ned then realizes the majority of his eleven hour work days are spent out in the elements, rain, snow or shine selling goods door to door in his suit. He met Ivan and Troy during his days on the Red Bull job. He spent most of his time with Ivan, who was a young man conducting Ned’s second interview. Troy was another employee from the ghetto who was a very good salesman, only because he had no other way of income. Ned also learns that if you stick with the Red Bull jobs you will have ample opportunities for advancement.
