Move On
Adam Stark 1-2
Analysis of the Development of Theme
My theme is used throughout some of the book. Now, I will admit, it isn't the most useful or creative theme, but, it is one. Of course, my theme is best used at the very end, when Max can't just move on from Freak's death, it wears him down. He goes back to the old Max, sitting in The Down Under, doing nothing with his life. If he moved on to create other friends, enjoy his life, he would be a whole lot happier. Now, I am NOT saying that he should totally forget about Freak, I am just introducing the fact that he needs to do something other than mope around all day, thinking about Freak. Another subtle use of my theme is when Iggy and Loretta Lee helped Max get away from his dad. From what I understand, Iggy and Kenny were friends, but Iggy knew it was right to turn him in, which might have been hard, but he knew it, and so he moved on from their "friendship". And I just want to clarify why I chose an everlasting campfire for my picture. I chose it because it represents the fact that Freak will always have a place in Max's heart.
Reflection and Application of Theme
Freak's Life
Max
The Book
Freak the Mighty, represents the fact that Freak wanted Max to go on with his life, write down their "adventures", and keep on going with his life, and move on. And that is the whole truth, that Freak is letting go, and sometimes that is the best thing to do.
