The motivation of Max is to just suruive. To get through everyday. To prove to himslf that he's got purpose. That he's not a loser. That because his Dad is in jail don't mean he's bad or to be feared.

The characters in the story do evolve. The fact that they know each other causes changes Maxwell was a quiet child with a learning disabitity who didn't have friends. Freak, a small, extremely bright, handicaped child who didn't have any friends. Max learns from freak, to read and about friendship. Freak learns about true friendship and that brains aren't everything.

In the novel i am reading there are two main characters that really stick out.But even though they are very different from me, in ways they seem really similiar to me too.The character in the novel that is most similiar to me is the older sibling named Lynn Takeshima. Lynn is a Chinese-American girl who watchaes over her younger sister Katie. Throughout growing up Katie gives good advice and occasionally has to try her best to lead Katie in the right direction . In one incident when they were both very young Lynn saved her sister from a volatile dog that was attacking her. I can relate to her because I have a little brother who i have to watch constantly so he tends to really grasp hold of my advice and depend on me alot.

For the character maxwell, I think the song Eye of the tiger would be a good theme song. I the song, it talks about how they would battle and overcome whatever obsicale they may run into. It tells about a persons belief in themself and their ability to come out on top.

I can identify with maxwell a.k.a kicker. He's a kid who has issues. He's embarrassed by his family. He's tall so he feels akward. He's told by evenyone he resembles his father. In his eyes this is an insult. His Dad is in jail and everyone was afrand of him. So he feels people don't like him because of this.
I also identify with Freak. He's short, and on crutches. He don't always fit in. He kind of makes people uncomfortable. He don't care if he's liked. He wants friends who like him for who he is. What he lacks in height he makes up for with brans.

Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer Pages: 1-144

So, the book I'm reading is about this early twenty something kid who
is pretty alienated. It's a nonfiction book, and since I haven't
summed it up yet in a previous response, it's about a kid who is
searching for meaning in life and seeks this meaning by exploring.
At the beginning of the book we find out that he ends up dying in the
middle of Alaska to exposure.

Even though I think I'm supposed to, I'm having a really hard time
identifying with the main character, Chris McCandless. I look at
the cover and there's this picture of Emile Hirsch portraying
McCandless. He's a good looking kid, and he's kind of sitting in this
"top of the world" type dominant pose. The author seems to really
identify with the character, and spends a couple of chapters relating
his own similar experiences. And McCandless is seemingly the rugged,
individualistic antihero that Americans celebrate.

But, I can't get into him, and I think it's because I'm a parent
now. I see the way this kid abandoned his parents, went off into the
middle of nowhere, took chances, didn't write home, and espoused his
theories on the way life works to whomever would listen, and I'm
like, "dude...call your mom, dad and sister. They're worried sick."
The kid is kind of portrayed as this spiritual, deep Thoreau quoting
prophetic figure, but he just strikes me as naive and self centered.
I don't know what I'd do if I was his parent. I would be devastated
if my son took off after graduating college and just disappeared.
It's really rather sad.

(By the way, if you're wondering, this response is to the 7th bullet
under character. The total length of this response is 279 words. I
summed up the book to start because I figured you'd need that
information, but then I really tried to stick to talking about
whether or not I identified with the main character and why.)
