Friendship In 'Freak The Mighty'

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 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.

First of all,Max and Freak have differences. Max is an anti-social and does not like to interact with people ( i’m still living in my basement Philbrick 5). Freak likes adventures and likes to interact and learn (then die earthling die!!!! Philbrick 1). He loves to create adventures. Max is anti-social and does not like to interact or talk until Freak came along.

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

Catie Giffen 3rd draft E.L.A 7.1 11/6/14 Freak the Mighty Leo Buscaglia says "A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world. " In the book Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick, Max is the main character who has a single friend, Kevin.

Max the Mighty is a fictional book written by Rodman Philbrick. Philbrick wrote the book in 1998. Also in 1998, Philbrick wrote Freak the Mighty. “Freak The Mighty has become a standard reading selection in thousands of classrooms worldwide, and now has nearly three million copies in print” (RodmanPhilbrick.com, n. d.). Max who is now on his own since his best friend died met someone named worm after rescuing her from nearly getting beat by her stepfather, and is now in search of her real dad.

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

Max and Freak are bullied by Tony D. and tries to chase them down. After they run away from Tony, Freak hollers a battle cry. “We’re Freak the Mighty, that’s

Friendship “A best friend is someone who you can talk to, who won't judge you, loves you for you, and most of all makes you feel like you are worth something.” - Anonymous. To begin with in the novel Freak The Mighty, the characters Max and Kevin Demonstrated a strong friendship. Most important they accepted each other without judgement and they made each other feel like they belonged.

If we were to judge him solely on his appearance, we might assume that he is just like his father because in photos even Max can see that he looks just like Kenny kane, you might assume that Max is mean but really he doesn’t turn out to be, he is just quiet.. In fact, when we first see him, we see that he doesn't really defend himself from anybody, for example Tony D. we first see Tony d. messing with max in the beginning and Max just stays quiet and doesn’t tell Tony D. off. This shows that he is not one to really ever put up a fight with anybody. Maxwell also shows that he cares for Freak when he tells Freak to slow down on his eating because he doesn’t want Freak to choke. This shows that Max does care for people and isn’t what everyone pegs him to be. However, later we see him yell at his dad on page 128 “I saw you kill her! I saw you kill mom!” in defense for Loretta because his father is choking her. This confirm/refutes our initial judgment by showing that Maxwell is caring, he is not mean to people he is just quiet and he is certainly not like his father because even gram says that Max has his mother’s

To start of, in life we all protect each other, or at least try to. One of these examples is Freak saves Max from his dad. One quote is “put your hands up villian” and “its sulfuric acid”. Freak was trying to save Max from his dad, so he made up lies, and said it was sulfuric acid, and when Freak squirted the gun he believed it. Not then that Freak just saved Max, put he also saved Loretta as well from getting hurt even more. And why this connects to the theme of friendship make you stronger, and how friendship is a big part of this book. Well Freak was doing a great favour, he saved them. Don't you think that if your friend saved you, wouldn't you think your friendship would be stronger?

Freak isn't just teaching Max about reading and science, he becomes like a light to help Max from the down under also, helping him face the past and being the brains in the operation when they fight crime. Like in every story there's a antagonist, moreover in this one it's Killer Kane mainly known as Max's father Kenny. He killed Max’s mom and denied it also, he kidnapped Max. The large annoying thing getting in the way of Max’s development or young

In the film, Max is depicted as a ruthless fighter who manifests inappropriate behaviour. Although in reality, Max’s fighting style was very powerful he was actually a very caring person. Also, in the film they made it seem as if Max had killed two people in the boxing ring but in reality, he had only killed one and his name was Frankie Campbell. After this incident, Max was traumatized by what he had done and became a different fighter and man. “Nothing that ever happened to me—nothing that can happen to me—affected me like the death of Frankie Campbell,” he said, shortly after the fight with Carnera.

Misunderstood is definitely the best way to describe Max in the book Max the Mighty. Max only wanted to help Worm and keep her away from dangerous situations. The Undertaker was trying to sabotage Max into looking like he was the one putting Worm in danger. This is not how Max wanted to appear when saving

His ex-wife Audrey couldn’t believe how much he had changed. When he said he was going to do something she didn’t believe him. Max told her his father wasn’t lying and that he couldn’t lie because that’s what he wished for the night of his birthday which is for his dad not to lie. Audrey was going to move with Max to Boston to get away from Fletcher and his disappointments he brought to the family with lies and start a new life. Fletcher realized that he had changed and wanted to prove it to Audrey and Max. Fletcher then caught up to Audrey and Max to prove it to them which stopped them from leaving to Boston and give Fletcher another chance as a father. It depends on your profession if you should lie or not. In the profession of criminal justice that is how most are trained. Attorneys have to exaggerate and lie to win their most of their cases to receive a better pay
