Mad City: Movie Analysis Of How The Media Controls Our Lives

Max was interesting from the start meaning his story in general. His whole plan could’ve gone completely wrong. But thanks for someone like Hans Huberman who understand his risks of keeping a Jew in his basement and accepted it. Max is the type of person who didn’t seem like he much so he took the littlest bit for granted. He always made sure Liesel, Rosa, and Hans all ate before they even thought of feeding him. Even if he got scraps he beyond thankful for that. He was similar to Liesel that’s why in the book they got along so well. But they are very different in some ways. Max can be very thoughtful sometimes, like when he was reading the book saying it was a great book. But then started ripping the pages out and painting over them to make a new book for

There is many things in his testimonies the contradict with other people's testimonies. First in his testimony he says he was walking passed Max's porch when he saw Max sitting out there, so he went and joined him for a couple cokes. That doesn't make sense because in the preliminary report it says the Max invited his friends over for a housewarming party. He also goes on to say that he went up to the bathroom at 2:45 and was up there for 10 minutes and came down to see Max dead laying on the ground. He called out about 3:00. But if you look at Chloe's testimony it say that she went to the bathroom at 2:30 and didn't come back down till 3:00 when she heard Ray yell. But the problem with that is that it was a 2 bedroom- 1 Bathroom house. So they would have been in the bathroom at the same time. It doesn't make sense, someone is lying.

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

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:

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.”

Characters Witch and the Wizard, by James Patterson. 307 pages Maximum Ride, School’s Out Forever, by James Patterson. 409 pages Comparing Contrasting  Maximum Ride and Wisteria Allgood are both feminine protagonists that are running for their lives going against evil wrong doers.

Max was a great friend to Kevin, but something that made him stand out was his caring heart to Kevin. One example was when freak chocked on the chop suey. “ something is wrong. He can’t talk… then I’m running to

courage, like Kevin, to stand up for himself. Max is very weak because he is very discouraged from being

It was stated that people were afraid of Max and bullied him, because of his father, Kenny Kane, who was supposedly in prison for murder. This character did not live up to the initial impression most readers had, because on page 160 it states “ so I wrote the unvanquished truth, for months and months, until it was spring again, and the world was really and truly green all over”, and at the beginning of the story Max stated on page 1 “ I never had a brain until Freak came along.” It was shown toward the end of the book, that Max had been affected by others actions towards him because if he wasn’t affected he would have probably acted a little smarter and considerate when he learned about Kevin’s death. An example of the way he actually acted is on page 155 “ a bunch of them jump on me and I keep going, running around in circles like an accident of

During this part of the book they were inside a toy store at the moment and wondering where they could find the Institute to find out who they really were. Angel was missing from the group in the toy store so Max started off by going to check the stuffed animal section. This was where she found Angel talking to to an old lady. Max’s worries had faded some because the wolf men called Erasers, don’t usually live for more than five to six years. The lady that was talking with Angel decided to buy the stuffed bear that she wanted so badly. The old lady walked up to the register with Angel, pulled out her wallet, paid for the the bear, and walked out of the store like nothing ever happened.

Lisel examined him like a book and was passionate in his fight against evil even while he was sick. The two share stories and learn more about literature and language. Max sadly left

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

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

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
