Max And Filbrick Themes

As a reader, I am rather prone to sympathizing with Max and Freak in each chapter, and as said in earlier responses, Rodman Filbrick has his ways of making me care about Max and Freak as if they were real-life people, and how when something happens, how the characters feel is how I feel. To set me up to be unable to put the book down, or, in other words, be very attached to the story, Rodman Filbrick would need to use a good mixture of relatable and adverse themes. The main themes in the first few chapters, which were friendship and adventure, were universal parts of life that everyone must have went through, at one point or another.
In the beginning, when I can understand the aims and intentions of Max and Freak, I’m hooked on, since I can
follow through with the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. When the details become veiled or misty, the wonder and imagination of my mind takes over, piquing interest, and I am determined to see what happens next, as my theories, predictions, and thoughts are waiting to be verified. However, sometimes, especially in this chapter, I don’t dare to imagine what will happen next, and I refuse entertain what comes to mind, afraid of what I’ll come up with when my thoughts grow. In this case, my curiosity to see how the story plays out compels me to flip the page.
