Book Review:Freak The Mighty

I got the picture from http://www.ofertondelibros.com/images//large/isbn978043/9780439286060-l.jpg

Freak the Mighty, by Rodman Philbrick is about a 7 foot tall boy named Max and a 2 foot tall boy named Kevin. They have many adventures together. Since Kevin is so small Max carries him on his back wherever they go. Max lives with his grandparents because his dad is a killer that killed his mom. One of the adventures they have is when Max's dad gets out of jail and kidnaps Max. He takes Max to one of his friends' houses.They stay there for awhile until Kevin pops in and rescues him with a squirt gun. He makes Max's dad think that his eyes are burning. Then Kevin has to go to the hospital and ends up dying because his heart got to big for his body. That is how the book ends.

One of the main themes in this book is friendship. An example of how this theme is shown is when Max and Kevin meet they become friends. Another theme is action. An example of how this theme is shown is when they meet they become friends and have all kinds of adventures. Those are some of the main themes in this book.

I would recommend this book to other 7th graders because it is very funny and it has lots of adventures. I also think it shows that just because you're bigger than everybody else, it doesn't mean you have to be a bully. On the flip side just because you're smaller then everybody else, it doesn't mean you have to be the kid getting bullied. That is why i would recommend this book to other 7th graders.

I hope you enjoyed my review of Freak the Mighty, Keep checking my blog too see more!

Movie Review: Lifted

Lifted, by Rod Ryderson is about an alien who is learning how to abduct humans. He tries to abduct the human but ends up thrashing him around and breaking things. He finally gets him up in the spaceship but then he drops him. Finally, right before the human hits the ground the big alien takes over and saves the human. the big alien fixes everything so that it is back to normal. While they are getting ready to leave, the small alien starts crying so the big alien lets the small alien drive the ship. Right when it looks like everything will be okay the small alien crashes the ship into the house. He destroys everything except the man and his bed. Then the aliens fly off into space and the short film ends.
One of the main themes in the film is forgiveness. An example of how this theme is shown is when the small alien does everything wrong and the big alien still gives him another chance. Another theme is learning. An example would be that in the film the small alien is learning how to abduct humans. Those are some of the themes in this short film.
I would recommend this book to any age because it is really funny. There are lessons that kids can learn. I think a person who likes aliens and comedy would really enjoy this short film. his movie would also be great for parents who have kids. That is why I would recommend this short film to any age.
I hope you enjoyed my decription of lifted by Rod Ryderson. Keep checking my blog to see more.
