The book also talks a lot about friendship and trust because when Freak and Max first saw each it was only for one

I partially agree that in the novel Freak The Mighty by Rodman Philbrick ‚ Max and Kevin’s shared moments of happiness are more important than their ability to escape situations of danger. I deem Kevin and Max’s experiences of delight to be equally as significant as their efficacy to avoid times of trouble.

Junior high schooler. But now I’m a Senior and I want to graduate. I first started thinking about all the classes that I wanted to take this year so that I could have a good idea of what my future job would be like.

Both of these stories do show not to let anyone push
