  1. TOGETHER ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
    ´´It worked! He fell for it! Soap and vinegar and curry powder.´´
    ´´Freak the Mighty!´´he says ´´ Freak the Mighty strikes again!´´
    In the first sentence it shows that Freak has come to save Max from his dad, with a squirt gun that had Soap, vinegar and curry powder.
    In the second sentence it says that Kevin and Max escaped safely and saved Loretta and Iggy.

  2. What I think is the most important theme in the book is Overcoming Problems. It’s something everybody has to face. You have to stay strong and work your way up. In the book Freak has to overcome this big disease he has. Max had to overcome that Freak died and that he has to man up. You have to remember that the past will always stay in the past. People have to deal with this everyday, but what they don’t understand is they will overcome that problem.

  3. I think that the theme in this book is that it is love. I think that it is love because, in chapter 13 it said that max went to go get more American Chop Suey for Freak. When Max came back Freak was choking on the American Chop Suey. Then Max went to go get the school nurse. Also in chapter 22 Freak has a seizure and The Fair Gwen calls 911. Max runs out into the street waving his arms so the ambulance knows where to go.

  4. Max and Freak/Kevin are always going on these adventures and Freak is always wanting to go somewhere. But I think that Freak is really brave because sometimes just overcomes the fear of going into something. Just like the time when he and Max were getting chased by Tony D. and Freak was on Max’s shoulders and he told him to go in the pond. And Freak took a chance he would rather do something crazy than get beaten up by somebody. Freak and Max go on this really big adventure to the hospital but as Freak would call the hospital and Max wanted to know the secret so Freak said you swear and Max said cross my heart and hope to die. So Freak said okay underneath research is a hidden secret bionic unit, and Freak says they’re going to make me the first robot human. And he told Max to keep it a secret and Max said he will so they head back and Max’s is in the down under. TO BE CONTINUED………...

  5. I think the theme for Freak the Mighty is Friendship because Max and Freak will do anything for each other. Like one time in the book where Max got kidnapped and Freak didn't stop looking for him he kept looking for his best friend until freak found Max. Freak was really happy for himself because he found max and he's happy at max that he's still alive and that he's not died. Another reason why the theme is friendship because when freak was eating something from school Max found him not breathing. Max got everyone to help Freak. He also got really worried if you got hurt or something like that I think it´s awesome to have a friend like that because if you need him/her then she/he will be there for you when you most need it. It's really cool how they care for each other no matter what happens to Freak the mighty.

  6. Teamwork is the theme of Freak the Mighty because, they both have their strengths and weaknesses. Freak is a tiny little dude, He has to wear leg braces and use crutches to walk. He is smart witted though. Max has problems reading and learning but he is massive though. He is tall and strong. When Freak and Max are together, they both have their weaknesses filled in. Together they are the unstoppable Freak the Mighty.

  7. The theme that I chose was friendship and how they are forever friends. The proof that I have would be that they would always go on adventures together to where they have never have gone to. They would go to places like Loretta's and iggy's house they would also go to places like the lake, to find treasure. They would also use they're great and huge imagination. Freak would always tell max to get out of the down under and go be free. Another thing about friendship would be how max would help freak in every little thing that freak needs help on. They would also do stuff for each other and be kind to each other. Freak also helps max with what he needs too, and them they become FREAK THE MIGHTY!!

    I think the most important theme in the book, “Freak the Mighty” is friendship because the whole story is about Freak and Max and their friendship. That is what Freak the Mighty represents to me , is their friendship. And Freak helping Max to become a better learner and have a adventure. Also Max continued their friendship by saying “So i wrote the unvanquished truth down” (on page 160) meaning that he kept Freak’s word that he will write in the book and the stuff they did like Freak wanted Max to do. Also Max and Freak are such good friends they became this one person, together named: “Freak the Mighty”. They even stopped Tony together because that is what friends do. Their for I think this book’s theme is friendship.

  9. I picked loyalty because they stayed friends and were there for each other, an example of this is the ending of the book when max walked all the way to hospital to visit freak. Something that freak did was disobeyed The fair gwen and went and saved max. Another reason why I picked loyalty is because max and kevin are just the ones who are loyal. I think even though, Iggy was kinda mean to lorette lee he stayed and waited for her when she was in the hospital. Loretta was loyal to what she thought was right by trying to set max free from his father. One character that does not show loyalty at any point in the book is Killer Kane, why is because he lies to max about his mother’s death. One more reason why I picked loyalty is over all every one was loyal to their own beliefs throughout the book.

  10. The theme for this book is good friends stick by your side . On page 155 "all of the nurses are crying and looking at me strange and all of the sudden I go nuts just go nuts I'm saying no way no way this nurse is trying to throw a hug on me and I just pushed her away then running down the hall like I'm kicker again I am ready to blast anybody who dare touch me and I keep running and skidding around corners and bumping into walls keep running and running". this proves by saying that Max really really wanted to protect freak and make sure that mrs. Spivak didn't hurt him at all but it really wasn't mrs. spivak's fault in the end.

  11. Imagination is Important- Throughout the book Freak (Kevin) teaches Max that even though some things in reality are fake and impossible it’s Great to imagine them no matter what. In chapter 22 and in the beginning of the book Max the narrator said that Freak (Kevin) teached him that remembering is just an invention of the mind. Even though Freak knows that max may not understand all he says Freak found a way to teach everything max needs to know by imagination and making him a dictionary of words that are difficult words, but in a way that max would understand. Freak and Max knowing they were total opposite people they became a team Freak The Mighty witch together they could defeat anything and anyone which was the key for all their adventures. Imagination lead Freak the Mighty to know that even though some things they imagined were from the past they could “remember” and imagine it even if it wasn’t’ exactly how it was. When Freak took Max to the Medical Research center instead of making it boring he turned it into a unforgetable adventure to Max. Freak was brave and REALLY smart but Freak the mighty were stronger and adventures.

  12. So my proof for the theme friendship is that Freak and Max become Freak the Mighty, they help each other throughout the book what I mean is that when Freak has that seizure Max runs out and in from Freak’s house making sure Freak is fine and when he goes outside he is putting his hands in the air and trying to wave to the ambulance making sure that the ambulance comes to the right house. “He’s having a seizure,” Grim says. “Call an ambulance.”The Fair Gwen is already on the phone.” “I run out and in the street and start waving my arms and jumping up and down so they’ll know where to stop, and I keep running back in the house to check on things, but the Fair Gwen says there’s nothing we can do except wait.” This is one reason, and it shows that there friendship will never break.So my proof for the theme friendship is that Freak and Max become Freak the Mighty, they help each other throughout the book what I mean is that when Freak has that seizure Max runs out and in from Freak’s house making sure Freak is fine and when he goes outside he is putting his hands in the air and trying to wave to the ambulance making sure that the ambulance comes to the right house. “He’s having a seizure,” Grim says. “Call an ambulance.”The Fair Gwen is already on the phone.” “I run out and in the street and start waving my arms and jumping up and down so they’ll know where to stop, and I keep running back in the house to check on things, but the Fair Gwen says there’s nothing we can do except wait.” This is one reason, and it shows that there friendship will never break.I say helpful because, Freak helped out Max when he was kidnapped by Max’s father. Killer Kane, he disobeyed his mother The Fair Gwen instead of staying in the car he left to go save his best friend Max. He also saved someone else’s life Loretta Lee. Killer Kane was choking her and Freak appeared and he had a water gun and inside the water gun it had vinegar and something else. He squirted it in Killer Kane’s eye, and saved Loretta Lee’s life. This all connects to why in this book people were helpful.I thought that in this book people were helpful because, when Max and Freak were at the 4th of July party, Max lifted up Max and put him on his shoulders. Freak is small so he could not see anything so Freak asked Max if he could put him on his shoulders. He did I thought that was helpful because, Freak would not be able to have that much fun if he did not see the fireworks, he would have not been that happy.

  13. I think the most important theme in Freak the Mighty is coporation, what I mean is that Max and Freak could get out of bad situations. For example when they were being chased by Tony D Freak guided Max to help them escape. Also when they found the quote on quote treasure they cooperated to get it out of the great by Max lifting up the purse and Freak grabbing it. Another example is that Freak started saying Freak the Mighty with Max holding him up. Lastly when Max first met Freak he help him get his bird and helped him fix it. So that's what I think the theme of Freak the Mighty is plus what would happen if Freak and Max didn’t coporate. I bet that it would be harder for the both of them to get through obstacles. Like if Max ran into Tony D without Freak then he would be in the hospital. And Freak would struggle with condition and he would not be able to have his amazing adventures.

  14. I think that the theme is Friendship because Max really cared about Freak. When he was in preschool he didn't kick Freak. Also when Freak died he went all the way where they had Freak and even broke the window until he brake the next one. Also because they went everywhere together. They did a lot of quests. Every morning Freak would be Max’s alarm clock. So Max would get up and put Freak on his shoulders. Also when people ask for there names Freak says, “ We are Freak the Mighty!” and Max goes with it.

    I think the theme is friendship. I think friendship because at the firework show Max and Freak stuck up for each other. Also Freak came to help save Max for his dad (Killer Kane) disobeying what the Fair guinevere said. Gwen said “Stay safe and stay in the police car.” They are always together. They stick together. They were even together when freak was in the hospital. And they go very well together and that’s why there called “Freak the Mighty

  16. Brave: They help each other out if it hard they will still do it. Freak the mighty Freak is brave is because he help max escape with a watergun and he tells max dad that it has stuff that can make you blind but it just has soap and other things so That is why Freak is brave.

  17. Freak Helps out Max in a really dangerous Moment. Freak shot Killer Kane in the eyes and he thought it was Stomach Acid. Freak also taught Max how to say stuff he never knew about and he learned them with a learning disability. Another thing Freak did for Max was help Max Learn about Nights of the round table. The coolest thing that freak did for Max was give him an unbreakable Bond or friendship. Max gives Freak a really cool X-mas gift. And Freak Really liked it and he was very thankful. But when freak had to go to the hospital Max was worried sick about him. Once Max died he wrote that book for him. But When Freak died Max was devastated Like a real friend would. Max also cried when Freak died But he will never forget Freak. But when freak died Max got so depressed.

  18. I choose stay strong because When Freak was fighting a sickness where his insides were growing fast then him he was strong to fight the pain that he would have sometimes. Also when Max was kidnapped and he was strong to tell grim and gram about what his dad did and where they were. Then there is also one part when Max was staying strong for Freak because Freak knew that Max was smart. Finally was when Freak passed away at the end and Max was strong because he was happy for everything he knew he learned from Freak and also learned to believe in yourself if you don’t think you know something, you really do.

  19. The theme of the whole book in Freak the Mighty. That question is easy to answer I would say the theme is caring. The reason I say caring is because Freak or Max are always there for eachother, and I have proof. Freak is always there for max because he helped Max escape from his father, Freak helps Max with learning new words that he doesn’t know, and lastly, Freak helps stand up for Max if he gets bullied. Max helps freak by carrying him on his shoulders, helps him go on quests, and lastly, he helps him up and pulled him in a wagon when freak needed help. That would be the theme in the whole entire book in my opinion.

  20. I think that Freak The Mighty's them is about overcoming obstacles, because first max's is put throw a lot when his mom gets murdered by Killer Kane (Max´s dad). Then max gets kidnapped by Killer Kane and has to get tied up like he is a hog. Then of course his best friend kicks the bucket because his organs are growing and he's not. Max showes you have to be tuf during hard times.

  21. I think the theme is overcoming your fears. I think this week of Maxim break both overcome their fear but mostly Max, because he had to be strong after freak died. And he said it was truly green all over and he was feeling okay about remembering things. Also he said “I saw you kill her! I saw you kill mom! I never forgot, not ever!”.This shows that Max was feeling strong and brave enough to stand up to his dad. This is hard to do for Max because he is scared of his dad because of what happened to his mom. All in all I think the theme of Freak the Mighty is, overcoming your fears.

  22. Always Find Good in Something


    Reason number 1:
    Kevin found good in everything he even found good and his disease and I think when the nurse said when he died from a big heart that's because he found good in almost everything.

    Reason number 2 :
    He found some good in Kevin dieing because when Loretta Lee sed nothing is a drag He found it in Kevin's death and wrote about it all their adventures all their fun. + Max from good in Kevin from the beginning even though he was a little bit rude. 🙌🙌🙌🙋🙌🙌🙋😊😁😁😁

  24. The most important theme in Freak the Mighty is loyalty. The reason why is because Max could not have made it too far without Freak. The reason why is because in the beginning of the book Max needed a brain. And Freak needed legs. So what they did is that Freak and Max became loyal to each other and then they became Freak the Mighty with each other loyalty because Max helped Freak get around and Kevin let Max “borrow his brain until he grew one.”
    And also at the end of the book Kevin went off to find Max because there loyalty between each other is so strong that Kevin went of on his own to find Max and to get him back.

  25. Jealousy
    I think max is jealous. Because he wanted crutches in chapter 1 pg.2 man that was a while ago but here are the sentences here we go so maybe he wasn't really all that fierce in daycare except i'm pretty sure he hit a kid with crunch once. And max also said that he sure would want one and so that's why i choose jealousy.

  26. I think the most important theme of Freak the Mighty is courage. I think this because there are many times when courage is needed like when Freak and Max were coming home from the firework show and blade and his gang walked up and Max had to jump into the millpond to get away and freak kept trying to convince Max until he finally jumped in.

    I think the theme of freak the mighty is Friends are till the end. Max and Freak when they first met they gradually became friends. First how they became friends is Max went over to freaks for Dinner and till the last time they saw each other at the Hospital and they were friends for the whole entire book/movie. And even when Freak was gone Max still cherished their friendship together. I think this book teaches u the importance of friendship. They stick together and there always have each others back.

  30. I think the most important theme in freak the mighty is friendship because freak saved max from killer kane so he didn't kill max. Their friendship is a theme because they stuck together through hard times.and they became freak the mighty and if they had not met each other this book would probably not excise.The adventures that they go on are an good theme in the story like them going too the medical research building they also fished out an old pure out of the sewers. They had many adventures in the book they whole book was based off of their adventures.freak the might was an great book and i think that that will always be together and when freak died he did not tell max the truth to save their friendship.the pages we found on the evidence on was chapters 12 20 30 10

  31. What i think is the main theme of the story is How Freak and Max became “Freak the Mighty “ when they were being chased by Tony D and his gang and “BAM” Next thing you know they are in the swap! Just like that! After a while Tony and his gang try to throw rocks at then they hear something “WEOWEOWEO”Freak heard the sound fading away so he does something as quick as he can Right before max can turn there’s a cop car right in front of his The cop Pulls them out of the swap and takes them to an ambulance When the cop asks who they are Freak immediately says “We Are Freak the Mighty”.

  32. Freak and Max,

    Differences & Friendship show a lot in Freak the Mighty. It show that being different doesn't matter it is what is in heart not based on looks. Even tho everyone saw Max as a big bad guy because of his father and that he had “no brain”. Max felt low about himself because people thought that about him and Kevin gets call names to and had problems with his father to. Max and Kevin went through alot together and they will never find a friend like each other. When Max and kevin get called names they just stand up and say something better to the bully.

  33. Draiden H.
    Theme: Sadness

    Supporting fact 1:When max finds out that freak is dead he turns back into the “Kicker”
    And doctor spivok has red eyes because she was crying so much. And also when max is afraid when freak goes to the hospital. When max went to the hospital to see freak he had tubes stuck up in his arm nose and stomach. And when max heard that his dad got out of jail and wanted to see him. Another part in chapter 14,15. Gwen crys when she sees freak after he saves max.
