Reflection and Application of Theme
I agree with the theme in this book because it can work in many different situations. Like if your having a hard time you can turn to your friends for help. Or when your confused then your friends can help you understand. This theme is relevant to our generation because, some people when there having a hard time then friends will help them and when your bored your friends will change that. Its just good to have friends. Kevin and Max for example were great friends they helped each other out with school and getting around. They went on adventures slayed dragons and saved Princesses. They never parted from each other they helped each other out when they were having a hard time with something. That's why we have friends, And that's why its a great theme.

Robot
Kevin had a disorder. When he was born he wasn't normal. He was disabled and could not walk very well on his own. So he had to where leg braces on his legs in order to walk. At a young age his doctor said he could get a new robotic body so he could walk normally and have no problems anymore. The only problem was it was impossible for him to get a new body like that. His doctor thought that since he was so young that when he was older he would forget about the whole new robotic body thing. But he didn't. Kevin was going to die at a young age unless he got a new body. Eventually when Kevin was thirteen he had a seizure. He went to the Hospital thinking he was going to get a new robot body. But he didn't. Kevin died that night.
Kevin and max
Kevin moved in down the street from Max. They weren't always friends but they later did that summer. When eighth grade came they joined together as FREAK THE MIGHTY. Both of them were like half a person Max was the strength and speed, and Kevin was the brains. They went on adventures and slayed dragons they saved princesses and told tales. Kevin taught Max how to read and write so he could do better in school and Max carried Kevin around on his shoulders so he wouldn't have to where his leg braces or have his crutches. Nothing could separate them from each other. They were FREAK THE MIGHTY.
Killer kane
Killer Kane is Max's dad. He is called this because he killed Max's mother with his bare hands. He thought since Max was so young he wouldn't remember but he did. Killer Kane eventually tricked the court and they set him up for parole. He kidnapped Max and brought him to an abandoned building that was burned down. He tied Max up and left Loretta found him and tried to untie him but Killer Kane came back. He started to strangle her to death. But just then Kevin broke in through the window and shot something into Killer Kane's eyes. He started to scream and chase Max and Kevin. They ran out side and there were cops every where. They arrested Killer Kane and put him away forever. The cops went down into the building and brought Loretta out. Kevin saved Max's life that day.
