Contrasts between Max and Freak
Max- Max is the complete opposite of Freak. He relies on Freak for his smarticles and he is tall.
This relates to the theme because he Max says in the first sentence, "I never had a brain until Freak came along & let me borrow his." Another example is, "I go 'Huh?'and Freak sort of chuckles to himself, like he expected me to go 'Huh?' and he says, 'The design limitations of the human body. You know, like we're not bullet-proof and we can't crush rocks with our bare hands, and if we touch a hot stove we get burned. King Arthur wanted to improve his men o he made them armor-plated. Then he programmed them to go out and do these quests, slay the dragons and so on, which is sort of how they program the robots right now.'" (pg. 18) That quote proves that Freak is smarter than Max.
