Freak The Mighty Character Analysis

So far, Freak the Mighty has had a lot of events happen even though we have only read up to chapter 16. We have met the two main characters, Max and Freak, or Kevin. These two boys are very different. Kevin has some sort of disability that makes him smaller than most children and he is very smart, he is so smart he has his own vocabulary, which he made his own dictionary for. Then there’s Max who is pretty much the opposite. Max is much larger than the average child and he thinks he’s “stupid” when really, he isn’t. He lives with his Grim and Gram, grandfather and grandmother. Freak lived with his mother who he calls the Fair Gwen. These two do lots of things together such as spend the Fourth of July together and go see the fireworks. They

Max has his mind set that Friday the 13th is a bad luck day, his father gets out on Friday the 13th but he doesn't want anything to do with him once he gets out, Kevin tries to help keep his mind off of it and not let him think about his father. Max helps Kevin by carrying him sometimes so he doesn't have to roll his wheelchair around. Max said "It was like he became my brain, and I became his feet."

Kevin has many qualities, but one that stands out is his cleverness. His cleverness comes in handy in difficult situations. For example, Kevin gets bullied by Tony D. because of his physical appearance. “Blade goes ‘Hey what?’and he moves right in front of Freak. ‘ Want to say that again little freak man?’ Freak says, ‘Cretin. C-R-E-T-I-N. Defined as someone who suffers from mental deficiency.”’ (Philbrick 31). Kevins cleverness protects him and Max from bullying because Kevin uses complex language to stand up for Max. Even though Tony D. is much bigger than Kevin, Kevin shows that his

The witch trials in this play were based on actual events that happened in Salem in 1692. Arthur Miller’s 1953 The Crucible is a dramatization of the Salem Witch Trials. His reasoning for writing it was because everyone was hysteric about the Soviet Union and communism trying to make its way over to the United States. It was like a modern day witch hunt. In the play, Abigail Williams and a group of girls get caught in the woods. They were dancing and doing other things that puritan’s looked down upon. The girls were caught by Reverend Parris, and soon after his daughter became ‘ill’. The girls then started saying that witches came to them and told them to do bad things. They sent innocent people to hang. After studying Arthur Miller’s

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.

My essay will be on how one character is dynamic throughout Okay For Now. Gary D. Schmidt is the author of Okay For Now. He tells a thrilling story about a young boy whose life changes very fast and it affects all of his family. The character analysis is on Doug Swieteck. This essay will be showing how Doug hates his life at first ,but then changes his mind throughout the book.

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

Max wants fang to stay because she needs someone to talk to. One example of this is when max said “he was my best friend, my right hand man, the one who always had my back. He'd die to save me. And I would throw myself in front of a train for him without a second's thought.” (59)

3. Rejection – Max might be really hostile rejecting whatever Lynne is telling him and refusing to cooperate. This might lead him into being violent and acting in a threatening way which could be dangerous to the company.

Max is represented as an adventurous but monstrous 6 to 8 year old child with destructive behaviour. He is wearing a wolf suit as a disguise; it symbolizes a sense of development and privacy. Max's behaviour is represented in the monster picture he drew. It suggests the adventure he is about to enter is not something that is new. He could have been thinking of a fantasy world, far away from the reality of his anger at his mother, and that he has a history of destructive behaviour. Max's poor behaviour and characteristics are influenced by his mother's parenting skills and techniques. In a time of great development and growth in this phase of his childhood, Max's social development characteristics included

At the beginning of the novel, Max got Kevin’s ornithopter out of a tree. This act of kindness resulted in Kevin making a friend that he would never regret making. Max also helped Kevin when he called for a nurse when Kevin started coughing up his food. Max had warned Kevin to not eat so fast, but Kevin continued to do so. Even then he still kept his eye on Kevin, which signaled true friendship.

At first Max feels stupid around Kevin but then Kevin teaches Max to feel good about himself which helps their friendship grow. Even in school, Kevin teaches Max to feel confident. Throughout the story, Kevin has a greater impact on the character Max. Kevin has a greater impact on Max because Kevin and Max share adventures, such as rescuing the robot bird which starts to build their friendship then getting

Imagine you're a happy kid whose life is about to change. Everything you're use to is gone and the boy in class who you thought maybe wasn't that bad at first turns out to make your life miserable. In the book Our Twisted Hero by Yi Munyol, Han, our protagonist, is the twisted hero. Han is the twisted hero because although he gives up at a point, he takes down Om, our antagonist. Though not by himself but it all leads up to it because of him.

In my view, the discussion of Freaks is incomplete without a discussion of the intended audience. Doing so presents Freaks in a significantly less positive light. Tod Browning had immense success off of his previous film, Dracula. As horror films soared in popularity, Browning wanted to outdo his Dracula in his next film. Thus Freaks was born.

All these personalities are drastically different from each other, some being more controlling and others being more docile. Kevin is also able to alter his body every time a different personality takes over, different personalities needs glasses while another personality’s need to have insulin shots.
