Improved Essays
One day I was eating dinner with my mom at her work, and a group of two walked in. They did not look special or important they looked like normal people, but sooner or later people started to get up out of there seats and asking for the women's autograph and taking pictures with her. Soon i noticed that she was someone i’ve seen before but could not figure it out. As me and my mom were leaving and the couple was gone it finally hit me that it was the actor who plays wonder woman. I was so shocked because she did not look like anyone who was important or famous. This shows the same Theme in the book “ Freak The Mighty “ As freak (Kevin) is crippled and does not look like someone who is smart and is capable of making friends, but turns out to …show more content…
The character of Maxwell Kane is first described as a butthead it say on page 4 “ Well, I was a butthead , because like I said, I never had a brain until Freak moved down the street.” One other description is that maxwell was very big it also says on page 4 “ The summer before eighth grade, right? That’s the summer I grew so fast that Grim said we’d best let the boy go barefoot he’s exploding out of his shoes.” . If we were to judge him solely on his appearance, we might assume that he is A goon, stupid, or a loser that has not friends. In fact, when we see him, he is helpful on page 12 it says “ What i do, i keep out of range of that crutch and just reach up and pick the paper thing out right out of the tree… I go, ‘ you want this back or what?’ “This is the time Max helps freak get his ornithopter of of a tree because he …show more content…
and there’s this weird-looking little dude, he’s got a normal sized head, but the rest of him is shorter than a yardstick and kind of twisted in a way that means he can’t stand up straight and makes his chest puff out, and he’s waving his crutches around and yelling up at the movers.”. If we were to judge him solely on his appearance, we might assume that he is different or not normal. In fact, when we see him, he is a genius it says on page 46 “He really does keep a dictionary in his knapsack, it’s his favorite book… Yeah right. Easy for a genius to use the dictionary, since he already knows how to spell the word.” . This shows that he is smart and can be intimidating when it comes to smarts. Freak (Kevin) is also fun and likes to explore on page 44 “ ‘ Get outta bed, you lazy beast! There are fair maidens to rescue! Dragons to slay!’ “ This shows that Freak (Kevin) is imaginative and always has to be doing something fun. However, later we see him also on page 44 it says “ ‘ Hurry up with the cereal, how can you eat that much, you big ox, come on, let’s do something’ ”. This refutes our initial judgment by showing that Freak (Kevin) is just like every other kid that just wants to have fun and make
