Setting

 **Setting-** This story takes place in a small, U.S town that includes both poor and rich type of houses. Max lives in a regular, middle class type house, while Freak lives in a duplex down the street. Most of this story takes place at either Freaks house, Max's room, school, or the New Tenements; which is the poor part of the town, although Freak and Max typically reside in the richer part of the neighborhood. The New Tenements is a place Gram never wants Max to go, but Max eventually goes into the New Tenements ti return the purse to Loretta Lee. I don't know the name of the neighborhood but it is the nicer part of the area. It has the nicer houses, nicer people, (except for Tony D. and his gang/friends who do anything he says to do). The house Max lives in is pretty nice where there probably is two bedrooms, a basement where Max lives (aka the down under) and has a kitchen, living room, and for Christmas has a nice tree. Freaks duplex is probably small and yet at the same time nice. A nice big backyard, for room for Freaks robot bird thing. Two rooms one for the Fair Gwen and for Freak. A living room, and kitchen. The school (Mrs. Donelli's classroom) is fairly large, maybe 25-30 students, Max and Freak possibly in the front of the room or somewhere in the middle of the room.
