This event leads to a series of challenges and misfortunes, including Alfonso's attempt to impress Sandra by fixing the chain and his realization that physical appearances don't define happiness or self-worth.
There were several complications. The ones I know of are: His parents's intolerance, their lack of funds, opposition from Ernie, and of course, his broken bike chain.

"The Broken Chain" by Gary Soto is written in first-person point of view, as the story is narrated by the protagonist, Alfonso. This allows readers to gain insight into Alfonso's thoughts, feelings, and personal experiences throughout the story.
"The chain snapped in another place and hit him when it popped up, slicing his hand like a snake's fang". This happens after Alfonso's bike is stolen and when he gets frustrated and breaks the chain again by throwing it hard onto the concrete. It's a metaphor because a chain can't really be a snake's fang, but Soto is trying to depict the feeling of being sliced by the chain. So, there you have it! ;)
