If we were to judge him solely on his appearance, we might assume that he is a person you don't want to mess with and if you didn’t know his age you would mistake him for a adult. In fact, when we first see him,he is called kicker in preschool since he kicks people if they tried touch him since his father grabbed him and put him to bed when Max’s dad killed his mother. This shows that he is kind of a mean kid you shouldn't get to know.Max also helps out freak later in the book by taking him places or going on ‘’quests’’as they call it. This shows how Max is a nice person who will help whenever he can do so.This shows that our initial judgment of was wrong Max is a good person who is helpful and kind to

  • Analysis Of Jeff Shaara's The Glorious Cause

    1295 Words  | 3 Pages

    Jeff Shaara’s novel, The Glorious Cause, takes the reader through the American Revolution, starting with the signing of “The Declaration of Independence” and going to Charles Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown. It also goes beyond telling a record of a historical event by putting the reader into the minds and situations of many historical figures at the time including: George Washington, Charles Cornwallis, William Howe, Nathan Hale, Nathaniel Green, Marquis de Lafayette, Benjamin Franklin, and several others. By doing this, Shaara can show perspectives from both sides of the war, and this allows the reader to fully understand the motives and decision behind the battles. This switch between characters and perspective makes The Glorious Cause

    878 Words  | 2 Pages

    Rosen portrays our society as completely exposed, giving up all privacy to join, and fit in with the “naked crowd”.

He claims that image is the key to establishing trust, not through a relationship or conversation. His thesis presents his views on the subject, “has led us to value exposure over privacy?

  • Don T Judge Ralph In Philbrick's Freak The Mighty Essay

    The character of Max Kane is first described as dumb, tall, and kicker . If we were to judge him solely on his appearance, we might assume that he is this tall, Big guy that instead of talking out his issues or problems he hits people or kicks them. In fact, when Max was first introduced, he would hit people in preschool, he vented games like kick boxing, kick keens, kick face, kick teachers, and kick the other little day care critters. This shows that he isn’t the friendly person and he’s hard to get along with. Max also had a thing about hitting anyone who dares to touch him.

  • Themes In Rodman Philbrick's Freak The Mighty

    748 Words  | 2 Pages

    Max and Freak worked together to overcome a lot of things in the book. And it didn’t matter if their goals were fake or real. For example, when they escaped from Tony D, “...Freak is kicking my right shoulder and I turn that way and he’s say, “Go! Go!” and I run right over this punk...”(36) After working together to escape Tony D. they realize that they can do anything if they work together. Which inspires the name Freak the Mighty. They go on in the book to achieve even more goals and help others. They also work together on page 48, “ ‘One more step,’ Freak says. ‘Steady. Steady. Now lift up your hoof - I mean foot. There we made it!’ And he takes his hands away and I see we’ve crossed the street.” This example shows that by combining their heads, they become one person. Well, at least they act that way. After they become ‘one person’ they can complete simple or hard tasks. In this case, they crossed the street just by Freak saying one foot and then the other. Together these two themes play extremely important roles in the book. They teach the reader a great deal on being able to work together and have a remarkable

  • Analysis Of Ian Frazier's Taking The F

    1547 Words  | 4 Pages

    When I flipped through the page of the Norton Reader, I would stop at random pages, read the title, and debate whether it’d be interesting or not. I read about three or four titles that were probably interesting but didn’t peak my interest. Taking a turn at the front pages of the book, I stop at page 154. I read the title, “Taking the F” by Ian Frazier. Now this sounds like an interesting essay. I mean he title could say anything, so I scanned the first paragraph to see what the essay would be about and spotted “Brooklyn, New York. Now the title makes sense; it is about traveling through Brooklyn on the F train. The title still wasn’t a clear connection to the point of the author’s essay. The author instead uses his five senses to describe

    I saw him walk into the restaurant and I wasn’t afraid to crack a joke. Probably one that would hurt his feelings, like “you’re late…,” but I didn’t. We sat down and started to talk and very quickly it felt like I was talking to someone I knew my whole life. My father and I are identical in the sense that we dress the same, the food we eat, our mannerisms, our hobbies and what drives us. He's opened up so many doors for me over the past 18 months, it’s almost hard to believe that we never had a relationship up until now. It's almost like we have lived our whole lives together. Nature vs nurture, hands down, no question genetics won this one in this father-son relationship, and that's exactly what it became, a father-son relationship. We spent time together and enjoyed each other’s company, most of the time. I felt like he tried too hard to be a parent, but I too am new to this

  • A Day of Fishing with my Dad

    1123 Words  | 3 Pages

    It is not like I never see him or talk to him; I do. He has been in and out of my life ever since. Occasionally he calls to say hi or ask how I'm doing; he is never consistent. Our convesations are short and very uncomfortable. When I am out shopping or running errands I sometimes run into him by chance, (or fate who knows). All of our truths and his lies are always there but never talked about. I can't remember the last time he called on my birthday, sometimes I wonder if he even remembers my birthday or even thinks of me when my birthday comes around every year. He never calls on holidays. It is really hard for me to talk to someone who was once my father, and now is a complete stranger. After all the things I know about my father, the strangest feeling I have is under the hurt and the pain, what I hope and pray for is day we might go fishing again.
