If you had the power to grant one wish to any of the characters in the novel who would it be?

What do you think they would wish for? What would you hope that they wish for?

Explain your ideas with details from the story to support your reasoning.

If i could i would grant a wish to Kevin .So he could have his legs back.Then he could play with Max

A character in your novel is being sent to outer space for a few months. The NASA space program will take care of providing their daily needs and any specific instruments they will be required to use. You have been asked to pack 2 special things that they can take with them from earth. Choose 2 items that they will take on this voyage. Explain why you choose each item.

The author of the novel is trying to tell that alone we can be defeated easily but together we can be successful in most of the things.

I like the way they talk as if they were talking in real life and not as if it was a book. It is hard to explain butt they talk like how I would talk. like in Maxwell says that he is a goon normally people don't use that word like that. also I like how there is a some jokes like in the third chapter its called the turd kind see it has some so jokes in it which we all know is great for a book so that is what I like.

I like how Freak and Mighty are like two puzzle peaces that fit together. One is small and smart and the other is big and not smart and they fit together to make up for there weakness. Also how Freaks presence helps Mighty with confidence so he can do better grade wise. And lastly they have built a bond that should have token years to make in 1 year that is how you know its a grate team.

The two things i would pack for Kevin would be

had done in the space ship

2.An elastic jumpsuit so that he can move around the spaceship

I think it is, friendship is the power to do stuff for another friend. Like protect them. Like when freak saved max from the killer Kane and also when he saver max by making him run into the lake to slow down tony who where cashing them and they got stuck and it helped escape with out getting hurt also how freak gave mighty a amazing gift just for his best friend.

The part that I enjoyed the most was when

Mighty had to carry Freak on his shoulders to get away from Tony D. and the cops ask " Okay boys you'd better give us your names and we'll call your mothers" and Freak says "We're Freak the Mighty"

the part i enjoyed the most was when freak and mighty became 'freak the mighty'. when on page 39-40, the police asked their names, and freak replied " were freak the mighty thats who we are". This made me content because before they met freak struggled with his disabilities, people may have made fun of him calling him a midget or cripple. mighty also struggled, people calling him kicker because he was aggressive and he was having difficult time during school. but onced they teamed up they became undeafeatable.

sadiqmazloum — 2014-04-24 13:22:53 UTC

Things I would give mat are.

1. Freaks dictionary. So he can find out what stuff up there are like stars because freak gave max that so he could know what things are.

2. Also a space suit that has an elastic band in it so he will not grow out of it fast because in the book he says that he grow an inch a day.

3. and the ornathopter to remember his friend and family because freak his friend gave him it.

If I were to grant 1 wish to anybody in the book, it would be Freak.

I think that Freak would ask for a bionic body like in pg.#52-53.

But I would want Freak to want to be a normal growing boy instead of having

Morquio Syndrome.

i would grant a wish to freak, i would hope freak would wish to not have a disease because this causes dwarfism which makes him have to wear leg braces. this rare disease also causes his inside of the body to stop growing, while his outside is still growing, which may make his body implode.

i would think that freak would wish to have his body transplant to the bionic body, because on pg 51-53 freak

the main message in the novel is friendship is a strong relationship, together you become unbeatable. for instance pages 35-40 shows a great example of friends made for each other , when freak was on mightys shoulders telling him where to go, while mighty was running from the bully Tony D. Because freak alone is beatable and mighty alone is a butthead but together they are freak the mighty

i would send freak to outer space for a few months. one thing that i would send with freak to outer space would be his pocket dictionary.Freak is basically a genuis, and he like to underline the new words he learnt in red. he would find it amusin gduring his free time. another thing i might send with him would be a picture of his loved ones which are Mighty and Fair Gwen. Mighty was a good friend of Freak, and made freaks day everyday. freak always enjoyed hanging out with Mighty and he got very adventourous with Mighty. Although its fair gwens duty to take care of him she took care of him with love and affection, she always tried to protect him, which Freak apreciated

I believe that the main theme of the book is

that friendship can be so powerful that even opposites can attract.

Fotini

fogirl02 — 2014-04-25 13:14:11 UTC

I would send Freak to space and I would pack him

1. Mighty because they are best friends and Freak

would need help with a lot of things he wouldn't be

able to do himself.

2. His dictionary because he always carries it around

with him and always loves to use new and bigger words

i woud grant a wish to Freak, i would hope Freak wishes to not have a diesease because this causes dwarfism which makes him have to wear leg braces, this rare disease also causes the inside of his body to stop growing, while the outside is still growing, which may make his body implode.

i would think freak would grant a wish to have his body transplant to the bionic body.for example on page 52 freak sounded so convincing " i have to go every few months or tests. theyve taken my measurements , analyzed my blood and metabolic rates" he said excitiditly and high pithched, trying to force Mighty to belive he was actually going to have a body transplant, but its actually fake

I would wish that freak gets a robot body so they can have more adventurers and freak himself wanted a robot body at one point in the book.

but what I think he would wish for would be to grow like a normal boy.
