  • Stunk Chapter Summaries

    437 Words  | 2 Pages

    This book stunk and not in a good way, and I rate this book 1 out of 4 stars. The book consisted of a list of things that were stinky in the boy’s room; there was no plot or real change in the main character or progression of a plot. There was no educational value in the plot, and for exploring rhyme, there are far better choices that are more likely to maintain a child’s attention. The book starts out by naming things that stink and how they came to be in that area, like in the book or in the boy’s room.

  • What Is The Theme That Rodman Philbrick Develops In Freak The Mighty

    403 Words  | 2 Pages

    A theme that Rodman Philbrick develops throughout Freak the Mighty would be, “Friendship is a powerful thing.”, because even though Max and Freak were completely different, they still changed each others lives forever. For example, “Just write it all down, put in all the fun we had, all the cool things we did, all our adventures…Just tell the story of Freak the Mighty.” Clearly, Freak wanted Max to write the adventures of their unique friendship because even though Max couldn’t read or write, Freak had fate in Max and was assured that he could do it. The theme that Rodman Philbrick develops throughout Freak the Mighty connects to this because Max was a dim-witted guy who couldn’t read or write. But because of his friendship with Freak, he was

    Freakonomics is somewhat random grab bag of topics. The unifying theme of this book for me was finding ways to ask questions so that one's available statistics and data can provide an answer, time after time they used available statistics to provide some time of reasoning or answers to the question being asked. Some of these efforts were more successful than others. Some of the questions Levitt and Dubner study felt unnecessary, that no one really cares about. But there are also some good subjects.

Since the novel is showing the personal recollections of one boy in the time period, students can identify the similarities between the two lessons. Since the similarities will be present, the students could make connections to both of the
