Friends are Very Important
Ethan Naylor Period: 6/7
Analysis of Development of Theme
Setting, character, plot and conflict all affect the overall theme, "Friends are very important¨. The Main characters don't even have any friends until they meet each other, and the conflict just makes their bond stronger.
I hear a window breaking, then a small faraway voice is saying "Put your hands up villain!" Pg.131
Reflection and Application of Theme
I agree with with my theme because in our generation, the world is a very very dangerous place, so it's always good to go with someone. You will be safer if you have some with you at all times. Also, being with friends is great in general. It's awesome to have friends. Friends are always there to help you, make you laugh, and smile. Max isn't that smart until Freak came along and changed his life. My brother has been my best friend in the whole entire world ever since I first met him and he has changed my life a ton. I remember one night before Christmas Eve and we stayed up all night. The very next day we passed out playing Zelda.
King Arthur
King Arthur was a big character in the story. He was the role model of Freak, and was quoted throughout the story. Freak always talked about King Arthur, dragons, mythical beasts, castles and all sorts of stuff
Max
Max was one of the two main characters in this book, the other one being Freak. Max is a kid that struggles with learning, but has improved ever since Freak came along. He has been more grateful ever since he met Freak.
Killer Kane
Max's dad steals Max on Christmas when he is on parole. His dad takes him to Iggy and Loretta Lee, and they get into a house that has been left for the weekend. Max's dad ties him up in a different broken down house, Loretta tries to save Max but fails.
Summary
This book is about two kids with disabilities. Max has a very hard time learning, but is super tall. Freak (Kevin) is really smart, but super short. They have a lot of good times and bad times. But most of all they help each other with their disabilities. Freak helps Max learn, and Max has Freak on his shoulders all the time so that he isn't so close to the ground.
