Freak The Mighty

Brian and Jeannette have always been a dream team. They have always been there for each other through all the rocky patches. Their relationship is something most siblings want with one another. They defended, protected, and listened to each other, and stood by each other’s side through it all. I think it’s beautiful how they never gave up on one another. It’s like they didn’t want to disappoint each other because they both have been victims of disheartenment. I hope one day I have a relationship, of sorts, that is like theirs. I know I have one’s that are close to what the two siblings have, but not close

In the short story, “This is What It Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona”, by Sherman Alexie, I looked at two characters: Thomas and Victor. Thomas Builds-the-Fire is a storyteller on a reservation who everyone ignores because they think he is crazy. Victor on the other hand is a guy who would not dare be seen talking to Thomas. Thomas knows that Victor is in need of help, but Victor will not admit it. I want to show how these two characters who are completely opposite of each other, come together during a time of need.

Mark and Bryon live very similar lives. They both come from a poor background and have to find a way around many things. They are both very strong when it comes to solving problems and using their knowledge. Bryon and Mark both grew up in difficult situations. No matter what the scenario is they are always there for each other. This is one of the reasons I believe the boy have such a strong bond. For example, when Mark got into a fight at a school dance, Bryon was there right

At first, Max didn’t have any friends; he was just felt alone and had nothing to do. But then, Kevin comes along and everything changes. Max and Kevin start talking and soon they become “Freak the mighty.” Kevin is Max’s brain and Max is Kevin’s legs. As the story continues, Max and Kevin became closer and closer. The two also start going on “quests” to help others while pretending they are knights. Near the end of the story,

The character maxwell kane is first described as “Im not big,”i say.”thin way your like two feet taller than me.” In fact,when we first see him, “I invented games like kick-boxing and kick-face and kick-teachers and kick-the-other-little-day-care-critters” (page 22). “Called kicker for a time-this was day care,the year gram and grim took me over-and i had a thing about booting anyone who dares to touch me” (page 1).Then when max meets kevin (freak) and max is caring about kevin.max states “and so i just sort of reach down without thinking and i pick up freak and set him on my shoulders.” this shows

This all changed when his best friend Kevin, a very intelligent, short, boy with Morquio syndrome, came around and turned Max’s life upside-down. Its funny to think that basically all Kevin, or Freak, had to do is remind Max that he is not what everyone thinks he is. The reader will also discover that after reading this book they will be able to accept other people who seem different than them.

In the novel, Freak and Max become like brothers by how they act toward one another as if they are family. Freak states, ‘“We are Freak the Mighty, that’s who we are. We’re nine feet tall, in case you have not noticed’”(Philbrick 40). That statement shows that Freak and Max have a strong bond and they are proud of being friends. Then, Max says, ‘“I swear on the dictionary if Freak ever tries to eat Chop Suey again, I’ll dump it on his head or something”’(Philbrick 87). That statement proves to the reader that Max cares for Freak and will do whatever it takes to protect him. Finally, Max says

In fact, the same goes for Freak. Yet, at the same time, he is the opposite of Max, but in a good way. Standing at a near two feet tall, and having the intellectual capability of a genius, Freak can complete Max’s shortcomings. Unfortunately for Freak, not everyone is like Max, willing to like and accept him. He has been left out and laughed at his whole life

“ so what's wrong with you.” i found this picture of gassy. In Dr. martinez's office. I am not the leader for nothing. I mean, i'm the oldest, smart, strong, fast and determined. I’m the decision maker. (33) Max know she is the leader and is the one to make the calls but she might not want to be the leader all the time. As seen above these are just some of the reasons that max does not know that family is the most important thing in life. In the middle of the book max starts to learn that family is the most important thing in life because it motivates you to do things for them.

In Rodman Philbrick curious novel, Freak The Mighty two misfits learn to cope with each other. Philbrick’s use of tone and mood, displays the development of the boys character and relationship. Max and Kevin feel nerve wracked, when they are on their way to the firework show. Tony, a mischievous kid, maliciously intimidates a worried Max. Kevin confidently intimidates Tony by outwitting him. This shows that Kevin defends Max, showing him he cares. This is important because it demonstrates how Max now trust Kevin. Philbrick expresses this connection with a strong tone of fear and confidence. Later, Tony fiercely attacks Kevin and Max again. A shelfish Tony says, “Slice and Dice.” This makes Kevin fuel up with confidence. This shows that Kevin

In chapter five, Gwen invited Max for dinner, but if she had not, I don’t think Freak and Max would have become good friends. Before they were close friends, Freak came over to Max’s house, but when his mother saw Max, she grabbed Freak and ran home, as Max looked like his father who was a criminal. When he goes to Gwen’s “apology dinner” on page twenty-five, Gwen sees that he is a well-behaved kid and kind to Freak. If she had not realized who he truly was at the dinner, she probably would not have approved of the friendship, and the two would not be as close as they are now.

Good Day Mr. Rodman Philbrick, I wanted to talk to you about your book “Freak the Mighty.” I enjoyed reading this book, it was actually really interesting. The thing I liked the most about this book was in the beginning of the book, when Maxwell thought that Freak was kind of weird. But then when freak moves next to his grandparent’s house, Maxwell starts to know Freak better and notices that Freak was actually a smart person. Later on the book Freak starts to help Maxwell with his school work, for Maxwell to get better get better at school. The only part that I will change in the book is the way Maxwell and Freak get to know each other. I will change the setting of the story, from the daycare, to the school cafeteria. It will start by seeing

After some time, Max discloses that he has been involved in multiple sexual relationships and says he “can get in any woman’s pants.” He also brags that he is smarter than anyone in the group, regardless of the fact that one person has a PhD in

Lastly the most incredible example of their bond together was when they entered the United Kingdom dog show. Under all odds they made it to the finals of the show on national television. Through all the hardships each one of them went through lead them to that moment in time, which led to a championship at the national dog

Max as a character is portrayed as a troubled lone ranger and shows aggressive traits in the beginning of the film describing his world as of fire and blood. In his interior monologue at the very start and throughout the film voices of people from his past taunt him. These voices and visions are suggestive of his guilt towards people he could not save or help in his past. When Max encounters Furiosa and the other women who were Joe’s wives and breeders and held as possessions by Immortan Joe. He is aggressive towards them and is desperate to escape his chains threatening them by pointing a gun and forcing them to try to cut his chain. Max’s character starts to change after he joins agrees to let Furiosa and the women back into the war rig however he is still very cautious of them. This is representative of his lone wolf persona in this apocalyptic world he has lost trust for
