Recently, I have read the book “Freak The Mighty” by Rodman Philbrick, also I have watched the movie “The Mighty”. There were a lot of similarities and differences. Concluding that I have chose to like the book numerous. One similarity that I noticed was that Max and Freak go on several quests or missions. Also a few were hiking to the Medical Research Building, retrieving a purse out of the sewer, and returning a purse to it’s rightful owner. There are several more that took place. The first quest that Max and Freak went on was when Freak asked Max to take him to see fireworks at the County Fair. After that day those two knew that they would be friends forever. Another...

...Has anyone ever told you not to judge a book by it’s cover? Well it's true, appearances can be deceiving - just ask Max! In the novel “Freak the Mighty” author Rodman Philbrick demonstrates that the challenges that come with a bad reputation and overwhelming appearance can be overcome by one's positive traits: being loyal, capable, and gentle. Loyalty is one of the qualities demonstrated by Max. An example of Max being loyal is when Tony D. was chasing Freak and Max, Max put Freak on his shoulders and ran to protect him. In this instance Max indicates that he thought of others before himself. “Now I'm running at a full gallop, weaving through the crowd, and I don't even need to look back, all I have to do is follow the way Freak is kicking...

...In the book, “Freak the Mighty” by Rodman Philbrick introduces how not everyone's the same and we have to respect that. We judge people based on their looks, in view of looking at little differences than everyone else around you. Another reason is that we don’t realize what they have been through, or what their background is like. This theme is something I can relate to because when Mrs. Murch was NOT pregnant at the time, I thought she was. Although I said nothing, we later on identified that she’s having her fourth child! I’m delighted with myself that I did not make any rude or hurtful comments to her face, nor behind her back without knowing the real situation. Nonetheless, it is disrespectful to judge anyone without knowing what they have been through or their personality. I am introducing this character as the mentor because he helps max until the end. His name is Kevin (freak). Kevin likes to play pretend, “I’m a robot man…”, he is also very intelligent. Kevin has developed a remarkable amount of knowledge such as, “When do we eat? My fuel cells are depleted.” His personally is boundless, very ambitious,...
