Setting

Freak the mighty takes place in Max's basement, the neighborhood, and Loretta Lee's house. The basement is Maxwell's room. It has clothes tossed everywhere and the smell of socks roams the room. The room has a bed that isn't normally made up. Another place that the story takes place is Freak and Maxwell's neighborhood. This is where Max and Freak escape the real world. They go on quests, adventures and other fairytale like things. The story also takes place in Loretta Lee's hoese. The first time Max went there he was returning Loretta Lee's purse. The second time he went there He was being kidnapped and was hiding out. Loretta's place is very filthy. Beer bottles cover the floor and pizza boxes are on the ground too. The chairs at the Loretta's house are ancient and raggedy. Overall Loretta's place is trashy. This story takes time in the present. The setting is very important to the story. It contributes to the story a lot. By: Kierra Mathis
