"Raising that poor boy all on her own." "He's not a poor boy," I say. "You should hear him talk. I think the rest of him is so small because his brain is so big" (Philbrick 24). This quote is about how Max talks about Freaks body and saying that he is super smart but his body is so small.

Freak and Max have a great friendship and I can relate this friendship with my brother because we tell each other everything. (Psalm 17:17) this verse tells us a lot more about friendship. (Proverbs 18:24) this tells us how loyal friends should be, (Proverbs 12:26) this verse shows that you should be careful on who you chose to be your friend.
