Paragraph 1: Freak the Mighty strikes again-
This event had a huge impact on the book, and if it didn’t occur it would’ve changed the outcome of the book. Firstly, when Loretta came to rescue Max, that was already a surprise for the readers. Also, when Kenny is strangling Loretta the readers find out that Kenny really did kill Max’s mother for sure. With Loretta and Iggy’s help, Kevin had enough time to get down there and save Max from being killed by his father. The event did frighten the Fair Gwen, but definitely was the most bravest of Freak the Mighty’s quests together. Lastly, If this event hadn’t occurred some readers would probably be left curious whether Kenny did kill Max’s mother or not.
Paragraph 2: The meeting of Kevin and Max-
The structure and style of the story allows you to feel as if you are a part of the events that transpire. We first become acquainted with the Clutter family through great detail. It seems as though we learn everything there is to know about the lives of Herb, Bonnie, Nancy, and Kenyon -- that Bonnie spends the majority of her days locked in her room or in treatment centers as a result of some mysterious psychological disorder, that Herb prefers apples for breakfast, that Nancy is the perfect teenage girl, that Kenyon is a loner who enjoys spending time in the basement working on inventions and building furniture. Once we have gained such knowledge, the story begins to shift back and forth between the events taking place in the Clutter's lives just prior to their deaths and the events taking place in the killers lives (their preparations for the Perfe...
Later on in the book during a storm captain kills Mr. Hollybrass and blames it on Charlotte. This book had a lot of violence which makes the story more interesting.
The majority of the novel is centered around the efforts of Mark and his friends Trina, Alec, and Lana to find the source of this disease and the cure, as they know that they are also probably infected. Along the way, they find Deedee, a young girl who was shot ...
The events played in the movie were obviously crucial to the gunfight, but there were other circumstances that contributed. Perhaps the biggest problem that went unmentioned was the Benson Stage Robbery where Bud Philpot was murdered.
As the story progresses, you get to see Melinda “grow” and finally speak out about what happened to her at the party. In some cases during the story there are flashbacks. Some would be good and some would be bad.
...k, she had worked as a nurse for wounded soldiers in the hope to meet Robbie and apologize. When he would be back from the war she tried to get in contact with her sister and Robbie, to ask for forgiveness for the biggest mistake she made years ago. In her interview she said having given them the conclusion to their lives that they deserved. But Cecilia and Robbie did not have the chance to see what it is like to meet again after the war and live together. Briony was not able to say sorry and this will haunt her for the rest of her life. She changed the end of the story to make herself feel better and less guilty. But I disagree with her point. It makes her feel maybe less responsible for their tragic end but it does not change anything for Robbie and her sister. Briony is the best example to demonstrate that the smallest act can have the biggest consequences.
In freak the mighty freak has a disease called Morquio syndrome. Freak gets around it and max never new in the book that he was going to die or what disease he had. Freaks doctor tried to trick freak when he was little but it didn't work. In the end she told him that he was getting a new robotic body to trick him because he was so smart.
Both of these events do not take place in the book. Also in the book Freak has a seizure and in the movie Freak just
no effect on the plot. He stole a marriage certificate, but the incident was not important
Economics in reverse is the best way of describing the unconventional method preferred by economist, Steven D. Levitt. While most economists measure social situations and present the data as numbers and graphs Levitt takes anomalies within the data to reveal truths obscured. It’s Levitt’s sociological take on economics that has set him apart from his peers with his heavy focus on incentives, choices, and the consequences they have. Freakonomics mirrors Levitt’s method since it’s a collection of stories he has uncovered or read, and the core economic principles are hidden within each story throughout the book, sometimes even in plain sight like how there are exactly as many chapters as there are core economic principles.
"Anybody living in the United States in the early 1990s and paying even a whisper of attention to the nightly news or a daily paper could be forgiven for having been scared out of his skin... The culprit was crime. It had been rising relentlessly - a graph plotting the crime rate in any American city over recent decades looked like a ski slope in profile... Death by gunfire, intentional and otherwise, had become commonplace, So too had carjacking and crack dealing, robbery, and rape. Violent crime was a gruesome and constant companion...
The ending is powerful because of the shock at the end when George had to kill his best friend Lennie. It happened so fast that it seems like the author wanted to shock the readers without warning.
In addition, in chapter 5, the spitting image, it was directly stated that Max’s mother was a good friend of Freak’s mother, and The Fair Gwen, from what was give to me, is again, a wholesome, decent person, if not a bit delicate. A good friend of The Fair Gwen would need to be gentle with her, and compassionate of her single-parent struggles. Max is just like that, demonstrating that he cares for his close friend when he follows through on all of his shenanigans without complaint, and when he takes Freak along when evading the father.
The lack of conventional chronology affected the way I would interpret the crash and the wife dying. I would have preferred it in a normal chronological sequence. Had the order been chronological, I would have had a better understanding of Billy 's stay in the hospital and effect of his wife 's death on his mental
Freakonomics has been an incredibly interesting read and opens up with, what appears to the reader to be, a writing style that somehow personifies the text in a way that only the book itself can articulate. The authors, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, do an amazing job describing basic economic concepts and rules using intriguing and nontypical examples all while entertaining facts and figures that leave the reader with a dropped jaw. The economist, Levitt, received his bachelors degree in economics from Harvard University, his Ph.D. from M.I.T., and has been a professor of economics at the Chicago School of Law since 1997. On the opposite side of the cover, the award-winning writer, journalist, TV and radio personality, Dubner, has
