Maximum Ride Reflection

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

When Hans went to look for Max at a nearby by lake all he found was a note that read “You’ve done enough” (Zusak 398). To explain is that Max realizes that the Hubermanns did the best that they could, but he realizes that the best situation is to risk his own life to safe a whole family’s life. This sacrifice shows how caring and brave the character Max is. Also this shows how self-less this sacrifice was and how he values other lives over his own.

“A best friend is someone who you can talk to. Who won’t judge you for you, and most of all makes you feel like you are worth something”. - Anonymous. In the novel and most of all Freak the Mighty Max and Kevin demonstrated a strong friendship. And then they accept each other without judgement, and they made each other feel like they belonged. Also friendship important, because having a good friend can help get you through hard times.

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 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

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

Theme of Freak the Mighty By:Chathan Shergill Period:5 Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick is about Max and Kevin, also known as “Freak”, adventures as Freak the Mighty, slaying dragons and fools and walking high above the world.” (page 39-40) The story takes place in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The main character Max or Maxwell is a large, very slow, but kind-hearted person.

First, before Max meets Kevin, or Freak, he doesn’t have any friends. But this all changes when he meets Freak. After spending some time together, they develop a close bond and start helping each other. Their developing friendship is implied in the quote, “They finally had to use ropes to pull me out of there. Freak won’t let go, he stays right there on my shoulders even when a cop in a boat tries to lift him off, and then we’re up on the bank of the pond and everybody’’s being real nice” (39.) This shows that within a small amount of time their growing friendship

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

But Max realizes something's wrong, Freak hasn't come back so, when Max visited freak at the hospital, the doctor tells him he's dead, “It was a lie isn't it?” and “you were telling him that so he wouldn't be scared.” How this event connects to the theme of friendship makes you stronger, and how friendship is a big part of this book, well in this event in the book you can tell how max is very upset and starts throwing a fit, cause freaks not there, that's how much Max really cared about Freak. Wouldn't you be sad if your best friend

If Max was not constantly searching for a way to survive, he would not have come across Liesel and the story would have been a whole lot different. There would be no secrecy or constant fear that they might be caught. Max would have gone to a concentration camp and Liesel wouldn’t have done some of the things she has. Now one can see that without this important search of Max trying to survive, he would have never met

While he was staying with the Hubermanns, Max decided to tell stories and write books for Liesel. He’d tear pages of the Mein Kampf and paint the pages so that he could write stories for Liesel. This is how he kept himself distracted from everything that was going on. Max wrote the Standover Man and The Word Shaker for Liesel, talking about how he and Liesel were similar in a way and how they can ignore

Everyone had a job to do and Max knew right away what his job was. His job

She recognizes that Max is an animal in a trap –unwilling in Joe’s human objectification – and offers him a way out. There is no expositionary dialogue, no “don’t kill us and we won’t kill you”; it is silent in the rig except for the Wives hushed mutterings and the grating saws of the file against Max’s muzzle. When Furiosa reaches to start up the War Rig, Max panics and assumes she’s reaching for a weapon, and she allows Max to frantically collect each and every gun in a slightly humorous show that reads a little like a stray animal on the verge of fear-biting. Nobody comments on this demonstration of Furiosa’s trust. Nobody verbally tells Max to calm down.

Max doesn’t know why Alice works so hard, admittedly she has a good job that isn’t easy to come by, but she doesn’t earn commission on the properties, and that’s where the money is made. He also doesn’t completely understand why instead of having an alcohol infused night out (with the added potential to meet the love of her life), Alice will spend the night working on a report just to give to Cameron. Max doesn’t push her further on the matter because Alice will say the same thing; that Cameron is going to be a partner soon, and then she’ll get a promotion and the commission will be rolling in, but Max knows that’s not solely the case. It’s true that Cameron is intended to make partner, and Alice will be in line for a promotion, but her relationship with Cameron is somewhat complicated.
