friends
shyla kelsey 2 & 3
Development of theme
Freak and Max both have hard lives because the have disabilities, but when they become friends their lives are easier because they both have that in common. Freak helps max by teaching him things like how to read and Max helps Freak and carries him around. They both stand up for each other. Max says "I never had a brain until Freak came along" (page 1) Because freak helped him learn
Reflection and application of theme
Having good friends does make life easier because if you don't have friends its like you don't have anyone to talk to. I think the author developed the theme well because he made it clear that both of their lives were influenced. In our day alot of kids are getting bullied because they are different. They need friends to stick up for them
Two people
Two people could describe Freak and Max being friends and always helping each other.
Freak
Freak always helps Max when he is in trouble like when they met Tony D at the pond freak stood up to him or when he got kidnapped by Killer Kane Freak came up with a plan to save him
Event
One event that happend is that Freak choked on noodles and Max went and got help. He also visited Freak in the hospital when he had a seizure
