The Mightiest of Teams.
Caden Atkinson
Analysis of the Development of Theme
In Freak the Mighty the setting effects a lot of conflicts. For example without millard pond Max couldn't have escaped Tony D. Or if max didn't live by the hospital then he couln't have left to see Freak and wouldn't have his rampage. The conflicts also effect the characters. For example, if Freak didn't have a disability he wouldn't be called Freak. Plot also influences setting. For example, if Max's dad hadn't killed Max's mom Max would live in a different place, and therefore, would have not met Freak.
Reflection and Application of Theme
I think the theme in Freak the mighty is "if you work as a team you can do more". I think it is this because without teamwork Max and Freak could not have done a lot of the things they did do. The author kind of slowly built on this idea. Starting with Max getting Freaks ornithopter for him. And slowly but surely Max and Freak began helping each other more and more. My favorite example is when Freak is on Max's shoulders and is kicking him to tell him where to go. Freak helps Max a lot but I think the author could have made Max help Freak more than he did. Because I think Freak helps Max a lot more than Max helps freak.
Visual Representation
As a team you can acomplish more
In Freak the Mighty Max and Freak work as a team a lot. And so for my symbol I wanted to show to people helping each other. I think this picture fits well for the theme because it is exactly what the theme is. These two people are climbing a rock but they couldn't do it without the other person.
Maxwell Kane
Maxwell Kane is the muscle for Freak the Mighty. He's really big and stocky and not very confident in himself. He has been scarred by his father and will never forgive him. Because of his father he lives with his gram and grim.
Mill Pond
I think one of the most important events in the book was the 4th of July when Blade was chasing them. Because it was the first time that they really had to work together as a team. And freak the mighty is all about about team work.
