Freak The Mighty: Differences Between Max And Kevin
Freak the mighty essay
Max and Kevin are alike and unlike each other in many ways. However, their differences complement each other in many ways. Kevin is smart and Max is not so smart. Max is very strong and Kevin is not. Kevin was very bold and Max was shyer so he did what Kevin suggested.

Kevin is a lot smarter than Max and this helps them in many of their situations. When Max and Kevin were sent to the principal’s office, Kevin used his higher intelligence to tell the Principal that they hadn’t done anything truly wrong. The book quotes “she fell for it” (pg 81).This also helps when Kevin needs to tell Max what to do urgently and Max doesn’t argue since he knows that Freak is really smart.

Max is very strong, while Kevin is not,

    Troy and Cory

    Troy Maxson is 53, the father of Cory Maxson, and he makes the house rules. Troy hates how Cory doesn’t respect him, so when this happens they both always get to an argument. For example, in the story it states when Cory is being kicked out of his house, “Go on now! You got the devil in you. Get on away from me! Get your black ass out of my yard. “I chose this example because it tells me that Cory is being kicked out from Troy being mad at him. He uses disgrace words to describe Cory. Tory and Cory are both alike because they act like one another. They both talk nicely to Rose, but when it comes to talking to one another it’s always arguing being involved. They are different because Troy likes baseball while Cory likes football. In the story it states, “Baby, it’s you and baseball all what count to me. “ I choose this example because he emphasizes about liking baseball.…

    A Separate Peace: the Incident at the Tree

    In the novel, A Separate Peace by John Knowles, Gene Forrester and Phineas, also known as Finny, are best friends who have a very deep friendship. However, as the story progresses, Gene began to develop feelings of jealousy for Finny when he saw how perfect Finny’s character is. Finny has always been able to talk his way out of trouble and is naturally a good athlete who is earnest, confident, & pure. On the other hand, Gene cannot be pure like Finny and feels insecure. Seeing how good Finny is, caused Gene to become jealous, “I was beginning to see that Phineas could get away with anything, I couldn’t help envying him…” (ch2.20) Soon, Gene thinks that a rivalry is happening between them. Because Gene envies Finny’s character, he thinks that Finny is also jealous of him for his good academic performance, “I felt better. Yes, I sensed it like the sweat of relief …We were even after all… The deadly rivalry was on both sides after all.”(ch4.34). By thinking there is a competition between them, Gene feels at ease, because none of them is better than the other. One night, Finny announced that Leper will jump off the tree, in order to become a full member of their secret society. Gene didn’t want to go because he feared his grade would slip if he didn’t study and also thinks that Leper wouldn’t dare to jump off the tree. After hearing from Gene that he wanted to study, Finny was surprise because he thought that Gene was naturally intelligent, who doesn’t need to review for a test. With sincerity, Finny lets Gene study, but Gene changed his mind and would come along with Finny. On the way to the tree,Gene realizes that a competition never happened and it was just Gene that was envious of Finny. Because Gene saw Finny's goodness and innocence, Gene realizes a rivalry with Finny will never occur. Gene began…

    A Separate Peace Literary Criticism

    Gene sees his competition with Finny as merely physical, between academics and sports. It is made clear that each character excels in one particular field, Finny in sports and Gene in academics. All sports seem to come naturally to Finny, and Wolfe describes his ability in sports in that, “His [Finny’s] athletic prowess stems not from brawn but his superb coordination and vitality.” (Wolfe 138). Although Gene still did well in sports, he was nowhere near Finny’s athletic level. Gene was, however, far more advanced in academics, and was far more applied academically than Finny. He had set his goals high, ultimately aiming to be the class valedictorian- a goal that seemed easily achievable, with his only distraction being Finny. Finny was not at all proficient in academics, maintaining a “D” average at best, never feeling the need to try. Gene sensed a competition developing between Finny and he, and felt the need to be even with Finny. In a way, Gene had achieved- he was competent in academics and decent in sports while Finny was spectacular in athletics and ineffectual in school. Gene believed that Finny not only wanted to be…

    Paul Maclean's 'A River Runs Through It'

    Paul and Norman are similar yet different at the same time. For instance Paul and Norman are both dare devils yet Paul seems to be the instigator. For example when they were on the river everyone else was chickening out Paul never backed down and ended getting his brother to go with him. Paul hardly hesitates when it comes to risks unlike Norman who seems to think it over a bit more before accepting and going through with it. They both also enjoy fly fishing. Paul is creative and does not like sticking to tradition instead he makes his own form on how to fly fish. Norman follows his father’s form and the “proper” way to fly fish.…

    A Separate Peace

    One of the most important differences between Gene and Finny is their views of the world. Gene has a more cynical world view. On the other hand, Finny’s view of the world is very pure and naïve. Finny truly believes that everyone is good in the world. Another thing that sets Gene apart from Finny is their strengths and weaknesses. Gene is one of the top students of his class, while Finny just gets by with below average grades. But what Finny lacks in academic achievements, he makes up for in athletics. Finny also has the natural ability to lead others and has a non conforming attitude, whereas Gene is follower and has a more conforming attitude.…
