Characters In Freak The Mighty

Freak The Mighty by Rodman Philbrick.There are many differences between the book and the movie like when the retrieved the purse.Also, Kevin tutors Max in the movie, also the kidnapping scene in the movie and the book.There are many differences between the book and the movie.

In the beginning Max had low self-esteem because people would bully him. They would sing him a song that made him feel bad. Max was scared because he saw his dad killed his mother. Max matured because everything that happened, from his dad kidnaping him to Freak dying. Max learned that he did not need Freak to be smart. Max change because Freak helped him to realize that he did not need Freak to be smart. Freak helped Max because max was shallow but Freak help him step out of the shade. Freak help max to be comfortable with himself.

If I don't know, then Freak will tell me and he’ll say it in a way I can understand, which is a lot better than Mrs. Donelli can do. So what I do, I just shrug and smile and wait, because I know she’ll get tired of asking and move on to the next. As a matter of fact I do know the answer — the reason Johnny Tremain got mad and hateful is because he burned his hand in a stupid accident — and I know about that because Freak has been showing me how to read a whole book and for some reason it all makes sense, where before it was just a bunch of words I didn't care about.” This paragraph is important because it shows how strong Max and Freaks friendship is. In return for Max guiding Freak around, Freak helps Max catch up on education.

These characters are quite the same in the book and the movie. In the beginning Max is bullied and is kind of an outkast. Freak/Kevin came to his new school, but he was bullied because he was Smarter and

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

Max and Kevin’s friendship made each other stronger in their own ways. For example Freak struggled with his size and how to act around other kids. Freak’s mom, the Fair Gwen, showed her worries toward Kevin’s size as Max narrates on page 20, “...the Fair Gwen grabs Freak and puts him in the wagon and I swear, she almost runs home, like if she dosen’t get away quick something really bad is going to happen”( Philbrick 20). This shows how much the Fair Gwen worried about freak before he became friends with Max. But in the end of the novel the Fair Gwen is trusting Freak because of his friendship with Max. Their friendship also made Max stronger whether it be his reading problems or his insecurity about his height and dad. As Max narrates on page 5,

Though Max is thoroughly judged by many people, one group comes as a sort of surprise to the reader, this group is Max’s broken family. The Kane family is shown to have many problems within it and is hardly what some people define as “family”. The full Kane family mentioned in Freak the Mighty is Maxwell, Grim, Gram,(Max’s grandparents) and Kenny Kane. First of all anyone can tell a little about Max’s relationship with his grandparents just by hearing their nicknames which is Grim, meaning serious or gloomy, and Gram, short for grandma, but Max does not even want to call them his grandparents. They also judge Max on

One of the most major conflicts of the book is Gene wishing he could be like his best friend Finny and being dangerously jealous of him. Genes jealousy got the best of him when he decided to step on a branch on purpose, which leads to Finny falling and breaking his leg. Sadly, Finny breaks his leg again and dies from bone marrow passing into the bloodstream during surgery and it was caused by the first break of his leg that Gene caused. Gene learns from this that he should not compare himself to others, because it is simply not fair. There is growth shown in Gene when he learns this and he knows that if he let it happen again it could have tragic consequences. It took losing a best friend for Gene to know that he

In the book Freak The Mighty we learn not to judge people by first impressions or looks because you can find a new friend. Max is a really big kid that becomes best friends with a small kid named Kevin with a disability called morquio syndrome. Max was more than triple Kevin's size but Kevin didn’t really care and he

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

In the beginning of the book Maximum Ride max does not know that family is the most important thing in life so she is feeling lonely and stressed. One specific example that shows this is “max your way out of line” fang said furiously “ there is no way he is. Coming with us” Fang said. “He saved our lives and they were going to kill him” max told fang. “good” fang said. “ he tried to kill us a hundred times”. Max let the person who almost killed her fang and the rest of the flock come with them. And max does not see the big deal. Another specific example that shows this:. “ the one think we have is each other . the one thing we can depend on, no matter what. We have to… talk about stuff.” I would pretty much rather have been torn apart by wild animals. “I like it better when you don't talk” (22) Max is saying that to the person she loves the person who has always been there for her who cares about her. So why is she telling him to stop talking. Lastly a specific example that shows this:

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.

Max is first described as “. If we were to judge him solely on his appearance, we might assume that he is very big, brainless, and he isolates himself from the world. In fact, when we first see him in daycare, “Called me Kicker for a time- this was day care care, the year Gram and Grim took me over-and I had a thing about booting anyone who dared to touch me.”

One example of when Freak and Max work together was when they were at the festival. Freak was unable to go to the fireworks, but with Max’s protection he was able to go. Not only was Max his protection, Freak was able to see the fireworks when Max lifted him on his shoulders. When they were down by the fireworks, “There are so many people crowded around, all he can see are feet

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
