Book Report Freak The Mighty

In this book, the main character's grandfather, Grim, normally never lies to anyone about anything. In one of the contradiction moments in the story, Grim talks to Max about how his father is getting out of jail. He says how he wants to get a gun because Max’s father is a killer (hence his nickname Killer Kane) and he wants to protect his family.

This also helps the struggle rise, and will also tear Max apart because he won’t be able to choose a side.

Raised in poverty without a father, and a full family raised solely by his mother, Kody Scott led the stereotypical "ghetto" life, a poor and broken home. However he does not blame this on his own personal decision to join the Crips while only eleven year's old. The allure of the respect and "glory" that "bangers" got, along with the unity of the "set"(name for the specific gang) is what drew him into the gang. Once joined, he vowed to stay in the "set" for life, and claimed that banging was his life. After many years of still believing this, he

Kane had a promising and bright future ahead of him. He grew up as a child wanting to become a Priest. His parents were avid church goers, and he had never missed a single Sunday since his youth. Through his upbringing in the church, he always had a heart to help the poor and elderly. Nursing this passion, he moved in with the now deceased old man, Albert, as his care taker. As far as anyone knows Kane and Albert were close and very had a very amicable relationship. In fact, Kane on record has said “There was no reason for what I did. I did not hate the old man; I even loved him. He had never hurt me. I did not want his money.” This is why it is bewildering that the authorities would blame my client Kane for the alleged murder of Albert, especially when Kane didn’t even have a clear, logical motivation. So today I would like to take this opportunity to change the horrid and negative narrative that has been blown up by newspapers who print gossip and call it news and instead show you the real, true, raw narrative of my client Kane.
