Freak The Mighty Persuasive Speech
In the song Lindsey writes “You’ve got a big heart, the way you see the world it got you this far”
This reminds me of how Freak is having to go through his Morquio Syndrome and how he’s growing on the inside and not on the outside as much. Freak is getting worse but all he can think about is how he wants to be a bionic human, the first one, which was actually a big lie. He seems to forget that every day, but he doesn’t. All Freak really wants to do is to go on fun adventures with Max and be Freak the Mighty. Freak’s heart just grew too much for his body to stand. “‘I don’t think it was a lie, Maxwell, do you? I think he needed something to hope for and so he invented this rather remarkable fantasy you describe. Everybody needs something to hope for. Don’t call it a lie. Kevin wasn’t a liar.’” …show more content…
class, Max would never have stood up to his dad or have done anything that summer. Without Max, Freak could’ve died, nobody would ever really understand Freak, Freak couldn’t go on adventures, Freak couldn’t share about his bionics, Freak would have nothing to do that summer. Without each other, what could they possibly be? When they’re together, they’re Freak the Mighty, slaying dragons, (or bad guys) saving damsels in distress, (or damsels who cause distress) and walking high above the world (more like 9 feet). Freak the Mighty are the ultimate team. They’ll always come back to one another even when they’re lost and alone. “I never had a brain until Freak came along and let me borrow his for a while, and that’s the truth, the whole truth. The unvanquished truth, is how Freak would say it, and for a long time it was him who did the talking. Except I had a way of saying things with my fists and with my feet even before we became Freak the Mighty, slaying dragons and fools and walking high above the world.” (page
