    Freak the Mighty and The Mighty compare and contrast

    While these similarities show what these pieces have incommon Freak the Mighty and The Mighty still have differences that make them distinctive. Although the characters have the same names, I have got to say there appearance was definitely incorrect. In the book Max was said to be 7 feet tall, while Kevin was said to be 2 feet tall. In the movie Max was about 6 feet and Kevin was the height of an average 6th grader at Eldorado K-8 ( about 4”6’). Kevin was supposed to have blond hair and blue eyes ( the movie gave him brown eyes and brown hair) while Maxes appearance was not clear in the book. Additionally, in the book, Kevin and Max seemingly lived in suburbia while the movie gave the impression they lived in much more of a city.For example, the old testaments seemed much bigger and better-looking than described in the book ( broken toys and ragged and dirty children who seemed a little broken themselves). The minor problem in plot detail is a third difference. In the movie, Kevin is apparently Max’s LD…

    Summary Of Freaks And Queers By Eli Clare

    In the article “Freaks and Queers” by Eli Clare, the author discusses the origins and history of freak shows where “freaks”, “savages” and “geeks” were essentially the cause of big entertainments and businesses. Four main groups of people were categorized into “freaks”, which included disabled people, both white people and people of colour, nondisabled people of colour, nondisabled people of colour from the United States and nondisabled people with physically visible differences. Many were oppressed, marginalized as well as exploited not only by the public but also by the show managers and doctors.

    The Lightning Thief

    Everyone is great in their own way, even those who may not realize it or appreciate it. In the end, your worth will show in some way.

Now, Percy must go on a quest with his new friends to find Zeus's lightning bolt so that there isn't another world war. He also wants to save his mom who has been taken to the Underworld.

    Themes in the Movie, Powder

    Powder is essentially a movie about a troubled teen. Jeremy Reed was raised with his grandparents. He lived in their basement and spent all his time reading highly intellectual books. He is discovered by a social worker, who tries to send him to public school so that he can make friends and come out of his isolation. However, Jeremy, nicknamed Powder, has trouble making friends. Powder is a very special boy. His mother was struck by lightning before he was born; she died from it, he did not. Because of this unique birth, Jeremy is blessed with special powers: he is exceptionally intelligent, can "see into" people (their emotions, memories, etc.), and he can harness the powers of electricity and magnetism. Unfortunately, Jeremy also has exceptionally white skin and no hair. The other kids mock him cruelly and do everything they can to hurt his pride; the only people who try to understand him are his science teacher, Donald Ripley and a pretty fellow student named Lindsey. His life can relate to the theme of "discrimination". He is discriminated for strictly the way he appears. People see him as a "freak". She enrolls him at a school where he is prejudiced against him because of his milky white skin. Everyone thinks he is strange. The theme of "discrimination" relates to world issues, because people around the world go through it everyday. It is constantly with us wherever we go. We see people being prejudice towards people who are different and for the way they appear. Everyone is different and everyone has different opinions for each other and that is why "discrimination" is a world issue, because we tend to forget that everyone has their own uniqueness behind…

    This book is about a boy named Max who goes on an adventure to where the wild things live. Max gets sent to his room for being wild in the house and causing trouble. Then Max’s room slowly turns into a forest and Max goes on his adventure. Max gets there and scares all the wild things with a magic trick. They name Max the wildest thing of all and he becomes king of the wild things. Eventually Max gets lonely and comes home. This book has a few valuable messages. Imagination is really encouraged in this story because it’s such a creative story. Also, the book expresses the importance of family. Even when Max is having fun being king of the wild things he still gets lonely for home. This was my second favorite book when I was young because I was really intrigued by the monsters and how Max became king of the wild things.…

    An Analysis of Cherokee Paul McDonald's 'A View from a Bridge'

    The little boy refers to McDonald as "Mister" and uses the word "hey" frequently to show the reader the youth of the boy and his innocence. The innocence of the little boy is shown when he makes comments such as ,"Would you help me please?" The author makes the little boy seem helpless and in need of guidance by having him fidget around to find his shrimp that he accidentally dropped on the ground. The author almost makes the reader feel sorry for the little boy, and this is brought out even more when the author will not stop to help the little boy. The reader feels angry when the author criticizes the way the blind boy is dressed, and the little boy's…

    Think Like A Freak

    Most people do not truly know what makes them happy. A great example given on page 9 was that married people are demonstrably happier than single people, but this does not mean that marriage creates happiness. In reality, generally happy people get married, and unhappy people do not get married, in order to become happy. The thoughts in this book are mainly inspired by economic approach. This approach relies on data in order to understand how the world works, how people fail and succeed, and what type of obstacles prevents most from important resources. Thinking like a freak is simple enough for everyone to do it, but not all do. The reason for this is because most people let their biases change their view of the world. A large majority of people “run with the herd” and adopt the views of our peers, making it quick to embrace the status quo.…
