Freak The Mighty Theme

Freak and Max had never been friends in daycare, and Max wasn’t sure if he even wanted to be friends, but that all changed the summer before 8th grade. One day Max saw a small town moving truck arrive up to the old duplex down the block. When he went to take a look who it was, it turned out to be “the weirdo robot boy” from daycare with his glowing white-yellow hair and his fierce eyes. At first Max had an odd encounter, but later on Max helped get Freak’s ornithopter out of the tree. If you’re wondering what an ornithopter is well Freak says “It’s just an immense word for mechanical bird”, and that’s when Max got his brain.

In “The Coyote and the Buffalo,” “The World on a Turtle’s Back,” and “Brother Bear” there are many themes. All these themes teach viewers how to live life. Also they teach about how the Earth was created and why things change and evolve in it.

Acceptance is when people truly see you for who you are, not just what to look like, or what you talk like. In the book Freak the Mighty, Freak is shown as ‘robot boy’, or being ‘crippled.’ However, our main character, Max, doesn’t think of him this way. He sees him as Kevin, the smart boy who lives across the street. This is just one of the many examples of acceptance in the book. I think that Freak the Mighty is a story of acceptance, and here's why:

Perseverance is one of the biggest themes of this story and is demonstrated by Louie and his family all throughout the book. Early on Louie's life, Louie was a bad kid, often smoking, drinking, fighting, and stealing.

The overall role of the audience, made up of teenagers and adults, in Freakonomics is to act as the receiving end of a personal conversation just like Gladwell’s audience in Outliers. The audience always remains constant because it would be folly for an author to alter his or her intended audience part way through a text unless they wished to create a book intended to confuse its readers. The audience of teenagers and adults is meant to learn from the speaker of Freakonomics much in the same way that a student would glean knowledge from a professor. The audience is meant to carefully read and accumulate new information and ultimately understand why it can be beneficial to look at the world through a different perspective. When the speaker states, “” he effectively implies that the audience is still teenagers and

In the book “Flying the dragon” by Natalie Dias Lorenzi, the character’s disagreeable and cooperative traits give into the speaker’s message which is to be open minded and cooperate to succeed.

Compassion and Patience can help one understand the feelings and experiences of another in a positive light. We can see the positive spiritual and mental effects of being patient and compassionate in the novel We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo, which follows the life and experiences of Darling, a native Zimbabwean who moves to Detroit. Darling’s interactions with her Uncle Kojo and Tshaka Zulu in the last chapter show us that she can be patient and compassionate towards others. These characteristics showed up earlier in the book as well when Darling’s father came home from South Africa stricken with AIDs. Darling is at her best when she shows compassion and patience for those around

From supporting evidence and three quotes, shows my thinking that the theme of the book is that not everybody is like you think they

However this theme is rather important. This book came out in 1980 and it may have been famous back then but the hype of the book quickly died. There of course was a movie based off of the movie that came out in 1984. This novel is not that famous considering it is not one of Stephen King’s more well known novels like “The Shining.” However these themes and book overall show a lot about human nature and society. In society we are ignorant or everyone chooses to be because people believe the government will do what is best for everyone. That did not reign true for the McGee family, since they were trying to kill Andy, which did happen, and lock up Charlie away from her father and probably eventually killing her as she got older. Society now could learn from this book that even a child like Charlie should not be judged just on appearance. It also shows at the end promises can be broken when pushed by someone else to. In society people make too many promises and they can all be broken at one time or another. These themes say a lot about society that we judge too easily, promise too quickly, and society controls us like a God or ruler. This goes on to say that Stephen King points out flaws in his writing using social criticism. Human nature is flawed and we try to look perfect by doing things that make society flawed and nobody

There are many similarities to how the author shows the theme.In both books the characters both don’t like a person before getting to know them. In the book Each Kindness Chloe doesn’t like Maya a new kid in school before meeting her.And in the book Enemy Pie a kid doesn’t like Jeremy before he meets him.Another similarity is that in both stories there is an adult to help them realize their mistake.In Each Kindness Ms,Albert the teacher helps Chloe realize her mistake by showing the

In the novel “The Outsiders” by S.E Hinton an important theme is family and friendship. This theme is interesting because it shows us how when you’re family you come together to look after each other no matter what. The theme of friendship is also interesting because when your friends you support each other through everything and anything no matter what the consequences are. In “The Outsiders” the theme of friendship is also a main interest because despite peoples differences they can come together through a common interest or factor, which is what happens in “The Outsiders”.

The Netflix Original show Big Mouth by Nick Kroll is an animated series all about middle school students and all of their experiences going through puberty. These students go through some awkward moments, which people can relate to. I mean who didn't go through awkward moments at that stage in life? It shows a variety of life experiences such as first kisses, first period, random erections, fascination with sex, and much more.

Social Cognitive Theory, Health Belief Model, and Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change are the three models I chose to discuss. An electronic database searched was completed. Three articles were chosen to summarize and discuss each of the above models.

In the book “They All Saw A Cat” by Brendan Wenzel he makes the theme very clear which is everyone sees the world differently. One example of why the theme is everyone one sees the world differently because when the bee saw the cat it looked like dots that made up different colors which was making the shape a cat makes. This develops the theme by showing us that even though the bee couldn't actually see the cat fully but the bee still saw the cat by using differnt a different way of seeing something, which was by seeing a bunch of dots and colors shaping the shape of the cat.

“The functions of intellect are insufficient and useless if you are without courage, love, friendship, compassion, and empathy,” says a quote by Dean Koontz. Throughout S.E. Hinton’s book The Outsiders, there are many themes that she conveys in the book as she narrates the experiences of a greaser named Ponyboy who is a member of the Social group (Socs). Ponyboy meets many people and witnesses many difficult situations throughout the book. This inspirational book teaches the reader crucial lessons that are very important for everyone, even if their lives are not anything like Ponyboy’s. Three important themes in the book include friendship, courage and empathy.
