Characters usually change throughout every story, with The Contender it is the same. At the start of this book Alfred (main character) was a timid teenager. But now he boxes & it has changed his whole demeanor. He has become a little more wild even going to parties, drinking & smoking. But before boxing he was very timid & didn't party at all. With people showing attention to you it changes you as a whole person & makes you different. Because with him boxing people were showing attention & appreciation. That made Alfred a whole different person.
