Movie or Book differences.


Hello friendly reader of this blog I am discussing the differences between the book and the movie of Freak the Mighty.


Basketball- I think the basketball part worked because it shows that Max and Freak (Kevin) together make a great team. It shows the beginning of Freak the Mighty and it shows how they work together. It is a bit better to the plot because it makes it more enjoyable.


Size- I think the size of the characters was different than I thought it would be. I thought that Freak would be smaller and Max would be bigger. I think that the ratio from Max to Freak ruined the story a bit because you would feel a lot sadder if Freak was smaller.


Blade- In the book Blade was 17 and in the Movie Blade was the same age as Max and Freak I think that kind of helped the story because it gives him more troubles in his life so the story feels sadder and realizes his problems. Some of it didn't work because everyone was expecting that he would be older and bigger so he would look more intimidating. It was better because they introduced Blade earlier.


Ornitopter- In the book Max helps Freak get the ornithopter out but in the movie Max gets it out after Freak died. I think this helped the movie because it made it more emotional. They made the ornithopter a big part in the movie so I think it was a better that they delayed it until the end.
Tutor- In the movie Freak is Max's Tutor. I think this helped because it helped explain how Smart Freak is. It also explains Freaks and Max's friendship because they get to hang out in school too.

Remembering is just an invention of the mind

In my life I have done alot of things I have a lot of memories of what I have done before, but the thing is I dont remember the things completely and I have moved alot in elementary. The best memory i have had is in grade 6 when i had a pudding fight. It all started with tyson, first he put pudding on Joeys hair, so Joey thought that I put pudding on him instsed of Tyson so Joey threw pudding at me it hit me a bit but the rest of it went and it smashed into the book shelf behind me and there was still some left so i put on Joeys back so the pudding was spilled. After we went to the washroom to clean up we did not get into much trouble. That was one of my many memories in elementary.

Inside my reading bubble

I have not been reading alot but I started a book that I have started to read the book called Lawn Boy. My teacher Mrs.K recommended it to me and I thought the concept of the book was interesting.

I usually do my reading before I go to sleep because that when I feel the most comfortable and it also helps me to go to sleep. I do most of my reading in bed because it is easy to go to sleep right after reading.

When I read I always lie down in my bed and I imagine the pictures of what is going on in my head I usually take a pause after every couple of paragraphs and imagine what is going on.

In this book what I have not found out is why he hides all the money he makes from his parents and why did he not tell his parents who he is working with? I personally think that mowing lawns all summer is a boring idea, but I think that working in the summer is a good idea. I want to work in the summer if my parents let me because there is so much time in the summer so why not get a job?

Freak the Mighty 2

Freak makes max feel like he has a brain and makes him feel like he
is smart and makes him feel like he is the best. Max supplies the body for
freak so he feels like he is normal so i think it is very courageous for max and freak to go out in the open with their disabilities and go on adventures and activities

moving

It was awesome at elementary school it was fun, the work. The only thing that was the downfall was that i only stayed in school for a maximum of three years so when i made friends i had to leave them and make new ones. In total i have lived in 6 different cities already. it has been very hard moving and strating a new life. i have settled down and i have been in the city for about three years so i think i will stay here for a while.
