Everybody at one point has tough times, but it’s the best people that get you through it. Rodman Philbrick’s novel Freak the Mighty shares a realistic fiction story of two disabled friends who go on adventures and go through so many really tough situations. Leading to that, it’s a touching story about a beautiful friendship. I’ve learned that the best people can help you in life from this book.
Friends can sometimes save your life. They can help you through the toughest times, as shown in Freak the Mighty multiple times. For example, on page 134, Freak saves Max from almost being killed by his own father. Max is very thankful to have Freak as a friend. If Freak wasn’t aware of what was happening, Max would probably be injured or worse. …show more content…
Freak and Max needed each other for that short period in their life. Stated from the text, on page 31, Freak made fun of Tony D and his gang by calling them “cretin” which stalled the gang from almost killing them. If Max were alone at that point, being as small inside as he is, it would not end well. Freak uses his smart ways and makes fun of them and that really helps to make more time for them to escape. Also, on page 81, Max states “If I don’t know, then Freak will tell me and he’ll say it in a way I can understand, which is a lot better than Mrs. Donelli can do.” That’s really nice of Kevin because Max has a learning disability and to do that is so generous. That gives the reader a look into how much a connection they have and how teamwork is needed in friendship. Life isn’t complete without a healthy friendship.
In conclusion, Freak the Mighty is a story about a close bond that’s unbreakable between two boys. Because of that bond, the reader really learns a lot about what it really is like to have a best friend and a good friend. So next time you are with a good friend of yours, think about what they do for you and how they help you. Friends are like four leaf clovers, they’re hard to find and you’re lucky to have them. Appreciate the small things in life, really think about what you should be lucky for. Freak the Mighty is truly one of the best books that showcases a friendship worth
