You need both

       One of the many special things about Freak The Mighty, are the several morales and symbols that this book contians. Like its lessons about physical and mental strength.
       One of those many lessons explain that both physical strength and mental strength are important but when combined, people can accomplish and succeed at almost anything. For example, when Freak and Max are being chased by a gang of redneck thugs, Freak gets an idea to run into the nearby pond, so Max runs into the pond and the gang of rednecks follow until their leader almost downs and they have to pull him out. The symbole that represents this lesson is the picture where Freak is sitting on Max's shoulders and even though max is tall already he is taller with Freak on his shoulders and even though Freak is small, on Max's  shoulders he is high up.
