The Hero In Rodman Philbrick's Freak The Mighty

Ever since elementary school, he was put into programs where students had a hard time understanding the concepts of writing, but in time through the combination of taking foreign language classes and taking full advantage of the program, he did improve his writing skills. Another weakness that the author has that all traits have in common is adapting to online classes. He had past issues with taking online classes due to a combination of miscommunication, misunderstanding of assignments, and little to no assistance from previous professors. To reinforce the author’s issue regarding online classes, utilizing an article from a source that not only focuses of their issues, he will explain further the correlations between the article’s and the author’s issue regarding online classes (Shore, n.d., para. 1).

“I read quickly, and there was a chorus of laughter in response” 42. If the teacher stopped his classmates from making fun of Walter then there would be no problem and Walter would not be angry. At my first elementary school, I was put in a reading class that was smaller and more focused in the sense that we would have tests occasionally. The only problem with

Mawi later says “My brother had always looked for angels. I had watched him see angels in the most unlikely places and wanted nothing more than to be like him”(Pg 110). Because of Mawi’s parents drilling the fact that he should do really well in school and the memory of his brother, he excelled academically and sometimes went to extremes to do so. For example, “Over Christmas vacation, I read and took notes on more than twelve hundred pages”(Pg 113) so that he could ace his junior English class. But in the end the book’s namesake (Of Beetles and Angels) came in to top things off.

A spiraling inversion is switching back and forth between two contrasting voices. An example of that would be when I was dating Donvea. It was so easy at school, I constantly heard positive reinforcements of our relationship. It was at home where I would hear negative things about my then boyfriend. My parents hoped that their voice was heard more than my friends’ voice.

Yet, my mentor teacher will correct him at the beginning of class, but as the lecture goes on he will normally let the student slide. My most recent observation, my mentor teacher was annoyed that the class was disengaged. He had multiple texting and sleeping warnings that before he

I felt captivated by the depth and message of this film. It really makes you think and start a conversation or dialogue about inclusive education and dealing with students with disabilities. It brought up the memory of me in high school and how the school assimilated disabled or special needs students into regular classroom and how hard it must be for them. Being included in activities with everyone else and enjoying the same opportunities is not quite the same as feeling included. Ishaan had enrolled in normal schools but even he realised how different he is from the rest of his

Everyone that goes to Lodi High School has heard of the class PSR. When I decided to take the class I just thought it would be a fun class that you just could goof off in and leave school for a block, but once I got to the class I learned that it was much more than that. It was a class that gave you the opportunity to learn in a different way than just sitting in a classroom. I would like to discuss the assignment I did for my PSR project, how me being in my PSR classrooms helped the teachers and the positives and negatives of PSR. For my PSR assignment I went to the elementary school and helped Mrs. Volks class and Mr. Wallace's class.

When Junior joins the all white school, it helps teach the students to let go of some of the stereotypes they had been brought up with. They all stayed away from the “creepy, violent, Indian kid” at first. Until a few took the time to get to know him and became friends. Near the end of the book, the students at Reardan have learned a great deal from Junior. He earns the respect, most easily shown through the basketball team, of most students.

Freak was bullied because he was “short, and small,” but very mighty indeed. They share a lot in common, so they are perfect for each other. Max is the main narrator of the book, and he tells a lot about his feelings and when he’s excited or something. When Max was younger, everyone used to call him kicker because he would like to show his expression through his hands and feet. Max lives with his grandparents who he calls gram and grim.

During the story, Laurie is able to keep his parents manipulated and entertained. He is able to keep them very interested and asking questions about Charles’ behavior instead of having them realize what is really going on.

To add on, when Laurie misbehaved, he would always change up what he did and how he did it. “’ Thursday Charles had to stand in the corner during story-time because he kept pounding his feet on the floor.

Julio graduated from Pasco High School in 2006 with a diploma. He has always enjoyed school, received good marks, and was in excelled classes up to middle school until he began to “slack a little bit” when he would skip class, but his family and teachers helped him understand the importance of being responsible and on time. These are values he wants to instill in his children along with being respectful to teachers. Julio really enjoys studying and taking things apart to see how they work. He also enjoys reading manuals to see if there are any secrets or tips in there.
