in Africa, which is at a shockingly low 13.5%. Initially we made very little progress as a team, everyone one wanted their own idea represented and didn’t like theirs being discarded, we were going no where. Having just read the book “Think like a Freak”, I was keen to look at the problem from a different angle. Instead of asking “How can we get more people online?” ask the…

Learning that Eight Legged Freaks was released in 2002 has me feeling more than a little dated. I remember watching this film with one of my close friends when it was released to dvd, actually come to think of it. I think the first time I saw this film was in VHS... Anyway after not seeing it since, I figured after a decade it would be like seeing it again for the first time. Well, yes and no. Yes in the fact that I had forgotten enough of this film that it was enjoyable. But I retained enough…

“Well you should try Steak Mash! It’s easy to make too! First, you mix,” started Steak, with a look that a person may have if describing the love of their life, but was cut off by an upset sounding black haired boy. “Why are you sitting here?” snapped the boy, narrowing his eyes, “This is my place.” “Oops, sorry Eric,” huffed Steak, “I was just telling one of my favorite recipes to Lil’ White Stripe here.” “Go away! I’m hungry and I want to sit where I usually sit every day!” hissed the boy…

Fitness Freak Fitness has been a big part of my life for two years now. I’ve gotten to the point to where I used to do it for the ladies, but now that I’ve gotten older and realize women come and go. So I now keep motivated and exercise for looks and the benefit of my health. Two years ago when I was just starting to do my own small workouts, I noticed that training your body hard pays off, but the pain and soreness just seems to never leave. I read that in order for you to make gains you…

you look at things, the things you look at change.” So if we look at the novel Freak the Mighty in Kevin’s perspective, it will drastically change.In the novel Freak the Mighty the storyline would have changed hugely, if told by Kevin’s perspective because we would have heard about his Dad, his challenges, and his family. If Freak the Mighty was told by Kevin’s perspective, we would have heard more about his Father. Freak would have talked about how he may or may not want to meet his dad, with…

I think that The Mighty and Freak The Mighty had some differences but they also had some similarities. One of the similarities was that they both had the same characters, and one of the differences was that not all of the scenes were shown in the movie that was in the book.

I'm going to…

What would it be like to be friends with someone everyone calls a freak? One day, we went to the park together and everyone was staring I never knew why until I moved and Auggie started going to school.

I believe that you have to look beyond what someone looks like and see the real them on the inside. I was really little when I…
