Explanation: This is an unexpected comment two grandparents would say about their own grandson. It appears they are scared of Max, or at the very least do not trust him. They focus on the fact that Max is really getting to look like his father, and perhaps he is also acting like him, too. I wonder if their feelings about Max are valid and true or if it is just paranoia.]]> 2016-09-17 15:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/124520955 121482 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/125039623 I found a contrast and contrediction. It was when max started to pull the wagon with the boy in it to his house.I honestly did not expect him to be nice to the boy.

It was when "Freak" didn't hit Maxwell with his crutch or come charging at him. I think this is a contrast and contradiction because earlier in the book it said "... anyhow before I can say a word he pulls the trigger on that crutch and makes a weapon noise, and he goes, 'Then die, earthling, die!'... You haven't seen the look in his eye Man, that little dude really hates me. He really wants me to die."

It was when freak didn't care for Maxwell bringing him to his house and showing him "in the underground". the quote from the book said "while i was pulling freak in the wagon he seemed really happy". I didn't expect Freak to be happy i thought he would be mad.]]> 2016-09-20 19:16:03 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/125219880 13734 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/125358656 I found contrast and contradiction When Freak's mom came to Maxwell's house and took Freak and ran to there house. A quote from the book said "The Fair Gwen grabs Freak and puts him in the wagon and i swear, she almost runs home." I didn't expect "The Fair Gwen" to come to Maxwell's house and run home with Freak. I thought they would just talk until Freak wanted to go home.]]> 2016-09-21 12:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/125358656 121482 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/125364028 I found a contrast and contradiction it was when the mean kid came up to them and said "Real icy'because I can see that Blade is trying to make up his mind , is he going to fight me,or is he going to kill me quick." I think this a contrast and contradiction because I would have thought instead of just standing there he would fight maxwell.]]> 2016-09-21 12:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/125364028 13237 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/125364189 I found an an AHA moment when Gwen said that she wasn't scared of Maxwell, it was just that she was scared of his dad and thought Maxwell was him. In the text I found " 'Sorry Max. That is, I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot. It's just that you know...' Freak's head pops out of the box and he's got this wicked know-it-all grin. 'What she mean is, you're a spitting image of your old man.' " This is an aha moment for Maxwell and the reader(s) because when Gwen implies that she does not like Maxwell's dad and she thought that Maxwell was him and saw "Freak" with him she thought he was in some sort of bad situation and took "Freak" and fled.]]> 2016-09-21 12:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/125364189 121482 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/125979238 I found an aha moment in chapter nine it was when Maxwell realized that Kevin could get new limbs at the place they were going to. " Will it hurt getting your parts replaced? I am wondering if Maxwell does not want Kevin to get his parts replaced because he likes Kevin for himself?]]> 2016-09-23 12:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/125979238 13734 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/125982907 I found a AHA moment when grim actually said son instead of saying Max or Maxwell he says " Of course you can, son" This is where grim cares a lot about max but max never knew it until now]]> 2016-09-23 12:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/125982907 13237 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/126520472 I found a contrast and contradiction when Grim called Maxwell son. In the text I found "... and claps his hands together and he says, 'Why of course you can, son,' and it's like whoa!  because he never calls me that. Always Max, Maxwell, or "that boy"." When Grim calls Maxwell son this implies that he has more sympathy, or more respect for Maxwell.]]> 2016-09-26 21:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/126520472 13237 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/126523427 I found a contrast and contradiction When "Freak" says "'Maybe we should reconsider this particular quest,' He up there on my shoulders and he's getting fidgety, squirming around." I think this a contrast and contradiction because "Freak" never turns down a good quest and you can tell that he knows something is up by the eerie vibes that he give off.]]> 2016-09-26 22:13:46 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/126523427 13734 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/126534307 I found contrast and contradictions when Freak says "Maybe we should reconsider this particular quest". I thought this resembles contrast and contradictions because Freak always finds a way to do any quest or challenge.]]> 2016-09-27 00:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/126534307 121482 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/126612169 I found the same on e that Rachel Marie did ! Those eerie vibes made me think also. I wonder why because as Rachel and Justin said "freak never turns down a good quest."

I thought it was this sign post because how did he get there without the cops knowing.]]> 2016-09-27 16:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/126720756 13237 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/126829274 I found a contrast and contradiction. In the text it says "... 'Maybe you should get a gun.' Grim doesn't say anything for quite a while, and then he goes'Maybe I will maybe I won't. I can't tell your gramma about it, though, and it breaks my heart to lie to her. That's one thing we've never done.'" I think that this is a contrast and contradiction because Grim said that he and Gram had never lied to each other]]> 2016-09-27 22:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/126829274 13734 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/127140948 I found contrast and contradictions. In the text says "i didn't kill her i swear its true" I think that he is lying because every single body thinks that he did, and with all that strength he also wants authority. So i think that he did kill Max's mom.]]> 2016-09-29 02:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/127140948 13734 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/127211248 I found contrast and contradictions when max said "I used to wonder exactly what hell looked like,". I didn't know that Maxwell wondered what hell looks like but, he stopped wondering when he saw the broken building that once was devoured with flames. But now it sits there even till max comes along the building is still there.]]> 2016-09-29 11:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/127211248 13237 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/127212378 I found an aha moment when Loretta Lee came to help Max escape and "Killer Kane"  tried to kill her and Max said that he remembered when Kane killed his mother. From the text:"' I saw you kill Mom! I never forgot, not ever! I know you did it! I know!'... 'You weren't but four years old'...'You can't possibly recall that event' he says 'You think you can but you can't.'" Killer Kane show very subtle hints in this quote that show he killed his mother. This also changed my thinking from the last sign post.]]> 2016-09-29 11:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/127212378 121482 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/127215365 I also found a contrast and contradiction because Lorretra and Iggy tried to to help maxwell."you there kid.Loretta Lee."

I honestly think  he is lying because I think he did kill Maxwell's mom.

In the text it says "' I know what they told you,' he says. 'It's all a big lie, you understand? I never killed anybody, and that's the truth, so help me god.'" I think this is a contrast and contradiction because his name is Killer Kane which definitely sound like he killed someone and does not seem very trust worthy. ]]> 2016-09-29 12:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/127218168 121482 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/127500256 I found a contrast and contradiction it was when Kevin's mom was scared of max instead of being happy for Kevin since he made a friend. "The Fair Gwen grabs him and puts him in the wagon and I swear she almost runs home."]]> 2016-09-30 12:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/127500256 121482 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/127501141 I found an aha moment it was when Maxwell finally realizes that Kevin had died. " I'm saying, "no way! No way!" and this nurse is trying ti throw a hug on me and I push her away." I think he did this because he was angry and sad so he does not want to believe that Kevin actually died.]]> 2016-09-30 12:38:36 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/127501141 13734 https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/128029401 I found aha moment when Max realizes Kevin dies. "i'm saying, no way! No way! and nurses are trying to give me a hug and i push them away." I think max was really sad and mad that at the moment max didn't know that freak was going to die, that freak was just holding on to hope that he wouldn't die so young.]]> 2016-10-03 23:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/msbullar/cd4zt0y3ix96/wish/128029401
