  1. I found 2 differences. I found that in the beginning, they met differently. They didn’t meet at the fair in the book. In the book, when freak went into the lake, it didn’t mention that freak almost died. I also found two similarities. I found that max is really into the Middle Ages. he also is very smart and short.

  3. There are a few diffrences in Freak the Might like.
    1)At the fireworks show Max picks up Freak and puts him on his shoulders just like he did in the book

    2)When they are escaping Blade and his gang Max and Freak connect when they realize they can help each other.

    3)In the start Max is writing the book Freak made him write but in the book at the end Freak tells Max to write it.

    4)In the movie they met when Freak catches him watching him in the back yard but in the novel they became friends when Max bumps into him as Freak is moving into his new house.

    The movie has some elemets of the book but some events are changed.

  4. In the movie Max and Kevin met when Max goes outside and finds freak making a ormnothoptor. In the book they met in day care.

    In the book tony D was the bully. And in the movie the bully was a niegborhood punk as the cop says.

  5. There are many comparison between the movie and novel Freak the Mighty. They met in tutoring, Kevin is helping Max learn how to read. In the Novel they met in Day Care. The bully rolled the ball and knocked Kevin on the ground, but he told everyone is was Max. In the novel they didnt say that Max saved Kevin and the cops told grim and gram that he was brave young man.

  6. There are comparisons between the movie and the novel in Freak the Mighty. First,the similarities in this movie was how they named the chapter just like the book. Also Kevin did introduce himslef to Max.

    The differences in the movie was they meet each other when Kevin was Turoting Max in this class that is only for him. The differences in the novel was they meet when Max was watching him make a robot toy.

  7. There are alot of similarities and differences between the movie and the novel. one of the differences is in the movie kevin is max's tutor.In the novel it never said the max's tutor's name.Another difference is how kevin and max met. In the novel max and kevin meet when kevin is hitting the tree to get the thing out of the tree and max comes over and gets it out of the tree for him. But in the movie they meet when max is in the LD class and his tutor comes in and its kevin.
    One similarity is at the fair kevin gets smart with Tony D /Blade. Another similarity is when max and kevin are at the fair and the fireworks start and kevin can't see anything so max just reaches down and picks him up and puts kevin on his shoulders so he can see.
    in conclusion there are many similarities and differences between the book and the movie.

  8. There are many differences and similarities with movie and the novel. For example, in the movie, Max and Kevin met at the tutoring place, but in the novel they met at day care. Also, in the movie Blade is mentioned in the first chapter, in the novel he is mentioned in the third chapter. Some similarities are that max is still in LD and Kevin is very short and smart. Another one is that they both have the same dialogue.

  11. The differences in the Story of Freak the Mighty are: in the movie they introduce Blade first and in the novel they introduce Freak first. More differences between the novel and the movie are: in the novel Max meets Freak at a day care center and in the movie they met when Freak was tutoring Max. Some of the similarities in the story are: in the novel and the movie they both say how Max has LD classes and Freak is short and smart. Some more similarities are they both have the same dialogue.

  13. So Far in the movie called "The Mighty" max and kevin met while tutoring when max needed help. In The novel they met in day care while they had to give phony hugs to each other. A Second Diffrence is when max first saw kevin was when max went to the new neighbors house and saw how kevin was playing with his me mechanical bird he made by himself. A similarity is at the fair when kevin and max where looking at the fireworks while kevin was defining the chemicals that were in the fire works for example "copper". Another similarity is how when kevin and max were running away while johhny(blade) where chasing them down cause of what kevin said to them and then, they got stuck in the mud aswell as max and kevin were.

  14. What I’ve noticed so far in the novel was that freak met by Kevin being freaks tutor teacher because freak wasn’t so good at it instead of Kevin hitting freak with his crutches. Also when freak was running through the water and got stuck tony and his crew didn’t throw rocks at freak instead the cops came and took tony away. But there were similarities like Kevin waking up max in down under, also when Kevin couldn’t see the fireworks freak put Kevin on his shoulders to see them, and when Kevin and freak were going to go in the sewer to look for treasure. These are the similarities and differences of chapter 1 and 2.

  15. The book and movie are very different, but they have there similarities too.

    In the book and the movie freak and max meet differently in the book max meets freak while freak is screaming at the movers to be careful with his computer. Instead of this happening in the movie the first time they meet is when max is watching as freak fly’s his ornithopter. As Max is examining it freak all the sudden snaps back and scares max who then proceeds to run inside.

    The second difference is there is a scene were max and freak are in gym with blade he throws a ball at freak and knock him down blade blames max and max gets a week detention. Meanwhile this never happened in the book.

    The similarities are that that freak still talks about king Arthur every 5 minutes and he still fly’s that ornithopter in the beginning of the book.

  16. There are many comparisons and differences between the movie and the novel. The first difference is the way max and Kevin meet. In the book Kevin and Max meet when Kevin’s ormnathoptor got stuck in the tree and Max helped him get it out. In the movie the way they meet was when Max needed a tutor and max Kevin was his tutor. Another difference in the movie is the beginning when max gets made fun of. In the book it starts with the background, because when the boys were younger they knew each other. A similarity is tony d. because he still bullies people.

  17. There are some similarities and differences compared to the book and the movie.

    Some differences are; freak and max met as neighbors in the book and in the movie they wet in max's tutoring. Another one is that when max was spying in freak, freak caught him and he was staring. Freak said what you never seen a robot before? That happened in the movie and in the book it was in quote "im robot man".

    Some similarities are that max said that same quote "I never had a brain until freak came along" in the book and in the movie. Another one is max went to LD for learning disorders in the book and movie.

    Those are some similarities and differences from the movie so far.

  18. There are many comparisons between the movie and novel in The Mighty.

    Max & Kevin met by neighbors in the novel, & in the movie they met by tutoring of how he reads. Whivh Is 2 differences.

    After the police picked Max & Freak they got to there homes & grim & gram were worried. But when Max got home, gram said she'll give him orange juice but grim gave him coffee for his maturity and how he has saved his new friend. Which was a similaroty.

    They also got the same nicknames that they got from the gang which is "frankenstein & igor".
