Max is now worried because his father might come back. Max and Freak relationship is very good. They both like each other and our good friends.Frea thinks of Max as his legs, so he can walk. Max thinks of Freak as his Brain, so he can think and be smart. It’s almost like they
almost need each other. Sometimes Max doesn't want to go on one of Freaks adventures but does it anyways, this shows Max has respect for Freak. For My three Lucys I Started with Max, For the first one I choose acceptance because always accepted Freaks adventures even if he doesn't want to do them. For my second I choose cooperating. I choose this because Max and Freak have to cooperate to get things done. For my Final Lucy for Max I choose Service. Although Max really doesn't realize it. Carrying Freak around is service. For Freaks first Lucy I picked solve problems. I picked this because all freak ever does is solve problems. For the second one I picked perseverance, I choose this because Freak has to persevere because he can’t walk. For the last one I picked Cooperating. I choose this because Freak and Max have to cooperate to get things do like grabbing the purse out of the drain. Overall I think this is a really good book with good characters, Mystery, suspense, humor, and everything a book needs to be good.This is my my reflection on chapters 1-16 in Freak the mighty.

An example of their adventures is when Kevin mouths at Tony D. and his gang, defending Max and himself; after of which he discovers that Max could not have fought Tony and incredulously questions, “You mean you couldn’t take him and I was giving him lip?” (31). Kevin’s words reveal his trust in Max. He incited Tony, believing Max would be able to protect the both of them. The boys’ next conflict, an encounter with Iggy, the head of a troublemaking motorcycle gang, and Loretta, his wife, show Max’s concern for Kevin and his wanting to keep Kevin safe: “I feel real bad for Freak because he hated it when people try to rub his head for luck, but I don’t say a word, I just run us home, thumping the short way back around the pond, and my big feet never trip me up because I’m on automatic, I’m this running machine” (72). Max is very attuned and sensitive to Kevin’s feelings, an important quality in a friendship. Also, his desire to protect Kevin and keep him away from Iggy and Loretta prevent his clumsiness from impeding his speedy progress to home. The conflicts Freak the Mighty encounter prove the boys’ undeniable teamwork and
...ane just did not know how to show this at times that were tough for him. Killer Kane still is protective, cares about Max, and wants the best for him. When Killer Kane came back to see Max when he could have been arrested was showing he cared and loved Max enough to be arrested again right when he got out of jail.

Killer Kane listens, suggests, defends. Is patient, loving and loyal. He would do anything for Max, He wants the best for Max, and protects Max. In the novel, Freak The Mighty by Rodman Philbrick Killer Kane is truly a loving father and he proves it.
In today's society there are lots of people that believe that dumb people can not accomplish anything in there whole life. From the book Freak the Mighty this point is proven wrong. Max and Kevin, are the two most important characters in Freak the Mighty, they can both be described as dynamic characters. Each of them goes through major changes that are revealed through their actions, and by what the author says about them. Maxwell embodies the archetype of the hero's journey. I will discuss this issue using the fact that he has a birth, a calling/journey, and a return.
That being the case, Max would never believe in himself and changed in life without Freak there to help him.

Freaks and Geeks is a show set back in 1980s over what life was like for the average high school teenager.

Then you have your so called “freaks” who aren’t afraid to get into trouble just for the fun of it, which is what Lindsey aspires to be like. While watching this show I have come to identify more with the geeks in this show rather than the freaks. More specifically, I would consider myself much like Lindsey’s younger brother Sam.

To understand the nature of Blackface performances and Freak shows throughout the years, one must understand the culture named today, popular (pop) culture, as the medium that brought light to these concepts, that once was in the dark. Danesi states the era, pop culture, gave rise to the people since the 1950's, regardless or class or education, to shape fashion, music, lifestyle, and other forms of entertainment today (2015).
