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

    Freaks or Norms: A Rhetorical Analysis of Katherine Dunn’s Geek Love

    The original transformation from norm to freak is the process of Al and Lil's creation of “oddity “by "beginning to experiemnt with illicit and prescription drugs, insecticides, and eventually radioisotopes" (7). They create freak Arturo, the aqua boy, Electra and Iphigenia, the beautiful conjointed twins; Olympia; and Fortunato ("Chick"), who appeared normal but was telekinetic. For Al and Lil themselves, they are not genetically or physically freaks, so they are able to give birth to normal healthy kids. However, they consciously begin to transform the kids into disabled freaks because the freakier the kids are, the more popular the show would be. These children are considered as the perfect kids in this scenario since they are actors in the carnival to fullfill the demands of the audience and bring the money in easier. This phenomenon in the carnival not only breaks the usual visual of the norms and freaks, but also secretly switches the idea of freaks and norms. Usually, the disabled kids are unwanted and abandoned. However, Chick, the one who is most close to normal is bullied, chastised, abused and berated by the whole family, especially by Arty. In the carnival, the relatively normal kid, chick, is the freak, but all the other freak kids are the norms.…
