Freak the Mighty reflection
In Freak the Mighty Max feels like an outcast through most of the beginning. He has no friends and his grandparents are afraid of him. Everyone thinks he's going to end up like his criminal father. when Freak moves to town it sort of gives him a new confidence. He starts to think for himself and he starts lining out his own future. when i started middle school not many of my friend from elementary school came with me to MS51 so i didn't know so many people. I sort of felt like an outcast. I guess you can say I knew how Max felt but I started socializing with more people by the end of the first week, I cant imagine how boring life must have been for him for all those years. Another one of Max's issues was his father (Kenny Kane). Max lives in a small town so most of the people that live there know each other. That means almost everyone in his town knows about how Max's father killed Max's mother. Because of Kenny Kane's choices it give others the impression that Max is going to end up just like him. A criminal. After meeting Freak for the second time it gives Max a new hope that he defines how he's going to end up in the future. Because of Freaks disability his brain is very developed. He's an 8th grade genius. He's supposed to go through an operation were he gets bionic parts. The chances of him surviving through it are very small and it's very ignorant that he thinks he'll survive through it. Maybe he's trying to be more hopeful than practical so that he can become "normal". I highly recommend this to book to someone who hasn't yet read it. It's very inspirational and a very good read.

I really liked how you included your own personal connection to Max.
ReplyDeleteI read that book too, it was awesome. I like how you related to the main character to make the book seem more meaningful.
ReplyDeleteI've never read Freak the Mighty, but now it sounds interesting. I like how you connected your experience to MS 51 and your friends with Max.
ReplyDeleteGood Job:)
I read this book before, and I thought it was great. I really like how you added text to self connections, which is something I never tried in my own blog. Now I am interested to hear about Max's father. Good job.
