Throught the the book John McNab can be a very intimidating, shocking and bold character. He has also shown to be very mean, cocky and bold.

This shows me that he is sure he can beat anyone in his way when he is on the pitching mound.
A theme that Rodman Philbrick develops throughout Freak the Mighty would be, “Friendship is a powerful thing.”, because even though Max and Freak were completely different, they still changed each others lives forever. For example, “Just write it all down, put in all the fun we had, all the cool things we did, all our adventures…Just tell the story of Freak the Mighty.” Clearly, Freak wanted Max to write the adventures of their unique friendship because even though Max couldn’t read or write, Freak had fate in Max and was assured that he could do it.

This is similar to what happened to Rainsford. In these two quotes it shows how he was a brave strong game hunter, but then is scared and unable to do anything “don’t talk rot, Whitney you’re a big game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels” (Connell 212) showing that he is a strong hunter, but then he it says “Rainsford knew now how an animal at bay feels” (Connell 231) this quote shows that he is now scared and is unable to do anything, and this shows how he is not powerless and scared just like Kane. These two people are very different, but they have very similar qualities and
His appearance is a very intimidating guy that seems that he can do some damage.

This gives Freak the Mighty time to escape the wicked Killer Kane. Another example of how much Max cares about Kevin is his reaction to Kevin's death.

Although this experience has been a good way for me to grow and reevaluate what I want to do in my life, I feel as if I have grown out of where I am at right now.
