One of the things that I researched that had connections with Freak The mighty, was the film, The mighty based on the book.
       I had already visualized the characters of Freak the Mighty through my imagination but now I was curious of seeing the characters through the directers eye's. I later discovered that Max fit his description from the book quete accuratley but yet Max looked slightly more rough and vulgar. Even so this taught me a lesson, that many people become aquanted with everyday... Never judge a book by its cover.
       Most people who would see Max in the film, would imeaditly identify him as a human who could hurt and possibly even kill someone. You see... The truth is Max is big but an extremely gentle and sensative creature, even if its hard to believe. For example, for the first time in several years Max sees Freak in the yard, trying to retreive a toy bird. Max could of just ignored Freak and gone on with his erans but he made a choice to get Freak's bird down from the tree. All through the book Max lets Freak ride on his shoulders, due to Freak's physical problems, as well as back him up in his critical situations.
       Who knows, maybe the directer of The Mighty tried to imply the same message.
