Freak-Personal Narrative
It’s been a couple of days since Freak was attended to the hospital. I kept trying to get in and see him, but the doctors say that he needs to be alone to get his rest. I overheard the doctors talking about his health, and they say he doesn't have long to live. They say he has maybe a week at most, and I couldn't have felt worst about it.
I’ve been mostly alone since I heard Freak doesn’t have that much time. I’ve been hiding in the down under just to get away from life at this point. All I could think about was Freaks and his genius little brain, rotting away in his hospital bed. Meanwhile I’m just laying under my bed with my big dumb brain that’s in perfect condition. That’s when it hit me, and that’s how that whole thing started. I started to think about how I could help Freak out of this mess. I know for sure that they’re not actually going to put Freak into a robot body. But I know that I can find another way to save him, just like what he did for me. I started to think, and think and think, but nothing came to me. My mind was a blank slate, even though I need now in the worst moment. Once again, I found myself useless, even when Freak needed me the most. Again and again and again I kept being told that I’m useless, by everyone around me, and myself. But there’s one person in the whole universe

It took me a little longer to get home considering I was still a little bit nauseous from the faint.I decided to take a break from the world (and thinking) to just go into the down under, and become nothing. It usually takes me a couple minutes to float off into my head, but today, I went there as soon as I was under my bed. I haven't been off in my own head for awhile (ever since I had met Freak), but it should’ve taken longer to get there. I was thinking that it must of been my stress of Freak and myself getting to

    I rose from sleep and went searching for anyone to spend time with, but they all seemed to be frozen, like statues in a museum. I tapped on the shoulder of Jake, but he didn't move or even blink, and I screamed in terror and tasted metallic blood on my tongue. What is happening? I thought to myself as I sprinted to my room and tried, unsuccessfully, to fall back asleep. Eventually, I could, and when I woke up, the world seemed like it was back to normal, with the sound of people's laughter and conversations filling the once empty space.…

    There are many major differences and important similarities between the film, The Mghty, and the book, Freak the Mighty. One of the major differences between the book and the film is that in the film Freak dies in his sleep on christmas but in the book he dies in the hospital after having a stroke.

    Before Maxwell and Kevin became close friends, Max was known as an impulsive, violent, and unsafe individual because of his careless actions. Max had even said himself, “I had a way of saying things with my fists and my feet” confirming that he expressed his feelings quite physically. Nevertheless, when the boys became one as Freak the Mighty, it influenced the way Maxwell dealt with things. For example, he learned to control his temper and using his incredibly great speed and strength to protect his loved ones. In other words, he developed a skill to use his strengths rightfully. Furthermore, Freak constantly encouraged Maxwell to do well in his education. This helped Max overcome his negative mindset on how he was brainless and never attempted to try by using his Learning Disorder as an excuse.…

    I picked the gun up and shot myself as a reminder that I am myself and not Tyler. After I shot myself, I thought Tyler Durden was gone forever. Shortly after, the police came and I told them about everything that happened to me and what Tyler did. They did not believe what I told them and responded by saying “Ok sir, we’ll move onto phase two of the plan now.” Although Tyler Durden was thought to be gone, Project Mayhem lived on through his “space monkeys.” The police left nowhere to be seen. I was wondering to myself ,“What is phase two of the plan?” The support group left shortly after and it was only Marla and I alone. Although Marla knew the differences between Tyler and I, she did not know the whole story. Marla and I were alone at last and I told her that I love her and that everything is going to be ok.

    “Ughhh” Randy said as he hit the button sluggishly on his alarm clock. He sat up on his nice warm bed and thought to himself about how just a year ago, he was sleeping on the bleak, bitter ground. He thought about Austin one of his best friends. He remembered all the parties they went to, all the sly things they did, all the criminal things they did just to have fun. Randy remembered the party they threw at the old dilapidated warehouse for Randy’s last birthday. Randy was turning thirteen that day and he was on the streets.

    I know it’s a bleak scene, but I’m happy here. I don’t care that I have no stuff. The other three apartments in the building are filled with sober friends and I know this is where I’m supposed to be right now. I cook some food and prepare to relax and process the stuff that just happened on my yoga mat. As I lay down, there is something weird going on in my body, and I don’t understand what it is but I am aware of every single scar on my arms, each place I stuck a needle. I can feel all the pain I caused myself and all of the damage that I did. I know I am in desperate need of more healing.…

    Walking through the abandoned high school hallways was even scarier at night, especially with the news that had gone all around about two teens who were found dead in our school parking lot three weeks ago. To this day the killer is still on the run, nowhere to be found. Quickly I head towards my car and at the same time feel a cold shiver go up my spine, I try to ignore it. I realize itś a Friday the day when most teens head out to the cabin hidden deep within the woods to have some fun. My friend Grace and brother Caleb were going so why shouldn’t I ? Heading towards the cabin I keep remembering about that tingly sensation on my back giving me the chills it felt as if a spider had crawled all over me. “ No , just ignore it” I kept telling myself over and over. When I returned to my five senses I realized I had already passed the cabin, quickly I made a U-turn and coincidentally the car behind me did too. It didn't bother me much until after having driven for 10 minutes the same car was trailing me! I realized the driver was following…
