The second time Max sees Freak, he is giving orders to the moving men. Describe how Freak looks when Max sees him.

This is an interesting scene. First, Max is drawn to Kevin’s mother, Gwen Avery, because she looks like “a movie star,” but it is not long before Max notices Kevin.

This is an interesting scene. First, Max is drawn to Kevin’s mother, Gwen Avery, because she looks like “a movie star,” but it is not long before Max notices Kevin. Max immediately recognizes Kevin as the child a long time ago at daycare who wore “shiny braces on his crooked legs” and who called himself “Robot Man” as a result. Kevin was never a boy to be reckoned with. This proves true again here. Max then gives us some vivid words of description:

[Kevin is] this crippled-up yellow-haired midget kid strutting around the sidewalk.

Yes, at this point, Kevin is yelling orders at the moving men and trying to look important. However, as Max’s description explains, Kevin must somehow be very, very small for his age. However, Kevin is obviously not afraid to “strut.” Max continues with the description by saying that Kevin has a “normal-sized head” but his twisted body is “shorter than a yardstick.” Kevin’s crutches add to his strange appearance. It is at this point that Kevin notices Max and yells, “Identify yourself, earthling!” When Max does not respond, Kevin screams, “Then die, earthling, die!” This already emphasizes Kevin’s lack of fear and his vivid imagination.
