    In the book it states “ I just sort of reach down without think and pick up Freak and set him on my shoulders.” ( Philbrick 32 ). During this part of the book this part is included because it is a really important to the plot of the book. It is really important to the plot of the book because it is we're Freak the Mighty had started. It was the first time that Freak was riding on Max's shoulders. In the film this is also included because it is important to the plot of the book but also because this leads to an action based scene of the film were they are chased by Tony D. and his gang. The director kept this the same because without this part of the plot then the whole story would of changed. Freak would not be riding on his shoulders the whole book, they would of been caught by blade and his gang because Freak wouldn't of been able to see where all of them were coming from. Overall, although there are similarities and differences they are included for a reason. The major similarity is included because it is a very important part of the plot and a lot of the story would have been different if it were not…

    I believe that the book of Freak the Mighty was better than the movie. A similarity between the two is that Max still realized he was smart without Freak. Because of Freak’s death, Max realized he could do things on his own, and he wrote a book all by himself. The book had way more details than the movie. While in the book Freak had a seizure and goes to the hospital, the movie had Freak die in his sleep.…

    In the book Fangirl, I would put a character named David. He would be 19 years old, with dark-colored shaggy hair like a stereotypical surfer. David would be everything Cath wasn't. He would be bold, and extroverted, while Cath, the main character, is shy and can be very introverted. David would be interested in Cath's fanfiction, a story with characters that are already created but put into a different plot, about her favorite book series Simon Snow. David would be the one person who helped Cath get through her family problems and restore her relationship with her mom.…

    While these similarities show what these pieces have incommon Freak the Mighty and The Mighty still have differences that make them distinctive. Although the characters have the same names, I have got to say there appearance was definitely incorrect. In the book Max was said to be 7 feet tall, while Kevin was said to be 2 feet tall. In the movie Max was about 6 feet and Kevin was the height of an average 6th grader at Eldorado K-8 ( about 4”6’). Kevin was supposed to have blond hair and blue eyes ( the movie gave him brown eyes and brown hair) while Maxes appearance was not clear in the book. Additionally, in the book, Kevin and Max seemingly lived in suburbia while the movie gave the impression they lived in much more of a city.For example, the old testaments seemed much bigger and better-looking than described in the book ( broken toys and ragged and dirty children who seemed a little broken themselves). The minor problem in plot detail is a third difference. In the movie, Kevin is apparently Max’s LD…
