Freak the Mighty - Rodman Philbrick

How did Freak and Max friendship change?

    Max and Freak's Friendship changes a lot in the book by there different chunks. The beginning, middle and end. Some ways are good. Some ways are bad. Others are good. 

    The beginning of this book Max and Freak were in preschool. Which is a great start to become friends but Max didn't befriend Freak yet, so they were basically just acquaintances. Max mentioned they way freak looked and said but Rodman Philbrick (The author)  Didn't really add dialogue between freak and max. Then something happened and the freak never came back which made you suspect thats the end between freak and max. 

     By the second chapter Freak just so happens to move right next to Max. The day their friendship was weak, boring, bad. Weak because freak pretended like he never met him before. Boring because nothing big happened between them. Bad because Freak was being mean to max because max is not as intelligent as freak also Because Max felt uncomfortable to say anything stupid in front of freak.

     The middle of the book Max and Freak's friendship grew rapidly. The Hung all through out the summer going on quest and playing games. They even called them "Freak the Mighty" which I feel is a big symbol of their friendship. An example of their friendship growing is when they were at the lake and  freak was on Max's shoulders tight having a fun time and then Blade and his gang came which made them work together to stop them from bothering them. 

     At the end of the book Freak and Max's Friendship was so strong. So strong that they could not even stay away from each other. For an example when max got in trouble with the principle and he was forced to stay away from freak for a moment he freaked out. Then Rodman Philbrick decided to drop the plot mountain right there and Killed freak. Max was obviously lugubrious about the fact that he's best friend had a seger on Christmas Day and then a couple of days later he died. But I feel that their Friendship still Stands.

     In conclusion Max and Freak's friend changed a lot through this book. From the begining, to the end.begining to the end. It grew from weak to strong. Growing quickly and Slowly at the same time. Also grew and so many ways.

    

    

Freak the Mighty Archaetypes

Before Freak met Max, he was just a crippled little boy without any real friends. Max was strong, and kind, but his size and unsocial behavior made him an outcast. Separated, they were losers, the bottom of the food chain. They didn't like themselves. They were both weak in a sense- even Max who was physically strong. But together, combined, they were "mighty". When Max hoists Freak up on his shoulder, they're at the top of the world. As two separate units, Freak and Max were not happy, but when they mesh, they find joy in each other. Freak and Max make each other strong. They need each other. They have such chemistry in their friendship, that they can ignore other's opinions. Finally, with each other, they are happy.

Freak the Mighty About the Main Character

    The Main Character Max is a very abnormal character because of his traits. The book describes max as a Giant, violent unintelligent kid. I find that funny because the Secondary character is Freak. Freak is a Tiny, Intelligent Kid that becomes max best friend.
    The second they mention the name "Freak" I knew their will be an instant character change for max. My prediction was true little by little I'm learning more about max and seeing his changes. As for Freak I am not seeing so much change or learning anything from him but later in the book I guarantee that I will learn more about him. Although Freak is Max friend he is pretty mean to him, I think because they are totally different characters but hopefully they will become nicer to each other later in the book.
