Throughout the novel, Freak the Mighty, author Rodman Philbrick brings the two main characters, Max and Kevin nicknamed “Freak”, together through friendship between two completely different people. The two friends friendship made both Kevin and Max stronger in their own ways; whether it be Max and his self confidence or Kevin with his size. The friendship they had changed both the main characters and others around them for the better in the end.

In the book, Freak the Mighty, Kenny kane sets a tone for Max to respond to. Kenny Kane takes max with a hard and untrusted way of making him follow him where he wanted to go. The author made the tone and mood perfectly so that Max can describe what is happening. Kenny Kane blames and feels sorrowful about max and his grandparents, which makes Max feel nervous as he states” You can’t hear the sorrow in his voice even though you can see the tears on his face.” Which confuses Max.
