Teamwork In Freak The Mighty

“I never had a brain until Freak came along.” This is a quote from Max who is one of the main characters in Freak the Mighty. The two main characters in Freak the Mighty are Max and Kevin. Kevin is also known as Freak. Max is a boy who isn’t very smart but is very tall and strong. Unlike Max, Freak is a boy who is physically disabled and has trouble walking. Freak is very intelligent. In the story when Max and Freak are together Max usually carries Freak on his shoulders. In the exhilarating novel “Freak the Mighty”, the author Rodman Philbrick uses plot and conflict to express one of the books themes, mental and physical forces can work together. Throughout the story Max and Freak use their differences to get themselves out of many different

However, there are many clues in the story that show that Kevin and Max are not troubled by their disabilities and that their teamwork is useful. One example of how Max and Freak worked together was when they were watching fireworks. Freak couldn’t see the fireworks because he was tiny, but with the help of Max, he was carried by him, and placed on top of his

Along the way, Max sees a girl, Ella, getting beat up by a boy and saves her, but it comes with a price; the boy shoots Max's shoulder and wing. She later awakens in the Martinez's house. Ella and Ms. Martinez seemed fine about her wings, so Max stayed with them for a while. When their old house was attacked the next morning after Max and the others left, Iggy and Gazzy explode it up to save themselves. As a result, both of them along with Nudge and are waiting in a cave for Max's return.

Teamwork is a good characteristic that each person needs in their lives, and Dashner does a great job in explaining it throughout the

Max went from thinking that he did not have a brain until Kevin let him borrow his, to realizing he had more of a brain than he had ever known. Kevin may have been small, but he was intelligent and rescued and saved Max. Kevin guided Max away from Tony D. Max was big, but without Kevin he wouldn’t of known where to go and Tony D. would of probably stabbed him. “What do we do now? I ask…

Max has his meeting with the principle, then soon after Freak chokes on food. Also, the novel and the movie both have or show Max living with Gram and Grim. There is also Freak naming the elements of the fireworks show while sitting on Max’s shoulders. They find Loretta’s purse in the drain.

Max help Kevin out a lot because when they were in the street way but Max learned to stand up for himself and Kevin because he started to care about him and himself as well. He started to protect his friends and not be afraid of anyone. Just started to care about people and Kevin kept going on. Max would do anything for Kevin because he knew that Kevin had a problem like in the lunchroom when Kevin started choking and Max saved Kevin's life. It just shows how much Max cares about Kevin as a friend to him and not just a person but like a brother.

Max then depends on Freak to tell him where to go, and just focuses on the ground. When Max’s father showed up in the middle of the night to “take Max with him”, Freak does the brave thing of helping the police look for his best friend. As the police find Max and his father, Killer Kane, Kevin stands up tall and sprays Kenny with a concoction that burns when it touches Killer Kane’s eyes. After the struggle is over Kenny Kane is arrested and is sent to jail for the murder of Annie Kane, attempted murder of Loretta Lee, and attempted murder of Maxwell Kane. Many friendships are formed by helping someone in need, like how Freak helped

so they became forever friends. In both the movie and the book Freak dies because his heart grew too big for his little body. Both the book and the movie are amusing. Both Freak and Max were bullied. Both in the book and the movie Max had a disorder with his body that prevented him from playing sports.

He fights the nazis by painting over the pages of Hitler’s Mein Kampf and writing his own stories over Hitler’s words. Lastly, Max has the selfless courage to not come back to 33 Himmel Street even after Hans said that he could because he did not want to endanger their family any more than he already had. No matter what challenges he faces, Max makes the ultimate decision whether to let the things that happened to him affect him or to instead persevere through any means that he can, even if it does not seem to amount to much in the grand scheme of

He showed selflessness by teaching Kevin new things, and perseverance when he never stopped guiding Max on where to go . Freak, Kevin, opens up Max’s perspective by teaching him new things, and teaching him to imagine great adventures. Max has a learning disability that prevents him from grasping the concepts that he has been taught. Freak would go on walks with Max, on their walks Freak would see nearby objects, and turn them into an adventure. In chapter seven of the story Freak the Mighty Freak says “There are fair maidens to rescue!

Jews were being put in Concentration camps, but because of his knowledge he goes into hiding at the home of the Huberman’s. The book describes him as an introvert because in the book it states, “He was the type of person who worked quietly away for very little reward. He kept to himself...”(Zusak 188).
