Theme

=
Some of the biggest themes in the novel Freak the Mighty is the importance of friendship and family, and seeing the greatness in all human beings. you can feel the non-stop love that they all have for each other, and you know that they all would help each other, no matter what. For example, when Freak died they were all so sad that Max went into a deep depression and even missed Freak's funeral, and didn't say goodbye to the Fair Gwen. Even though Max was no longer any fun to be with, his entire family helped him through it, although he never fully recovered. Another example is when Max was tied in the basement, Loretta Lee wanted to help so she started to untie the ropes but Killer Kane started to choke her and eventually breaking her neck, almost killed her until Max makes him let go when he tells Killer Kane that he knew that he had killed his mother by choking her too. The second theme is seeing the greatness in all human beings. 'Not judging a book by its cover' is what Grim says all the time throughout, and this plays an important role in this novel. For instance, Iggy Lee, in the begining of the book seems all tough, but at the end he turns out to be a very loving man. Iggy is the leader of a motorcycle gang, who is afraid of Killer Kane; another example is when Freak and Max start hanging out for the first time, and when the Fair Gwen she gets scared because Max looked so mush like his father that she runs away with Freak, and it turns out later on in the book they end up getting pretty close, before she moves away because of the death of Freak (Kevin).=====
