Camille

This image of a compass relates to "Freak the Mighty", Chapter 9, because when Freak, Kevin, brought out his compass, he told Max to go east and then he talked about some of the history about it.

Connector
Some connections I made between this reading and my own experiences, the wider world, and other texts or authors was when Freak, Kevin, had a compass. When I was younger, I used to play with a compass and instead of saying left and right, I would say west and east. Another connection I made was when Kevin, Freak, made Maxwell spit in his hand, then put his hand over his heart and swear to keep the secret because when some people ask me to keep a secret they will ask,"Pinky Promise?" And both of those are oaths that you won't distribute the personal information out to anybody. When Freak, Kevin, says,"Life is dangerous" it reminded me of a story on the news and there was an incident and one of the news casters said that life was dangerous as well. On the week of Christmas, my family went to go see Christmas lights and after we had been walking for a while my feet started to ache and in the story, Maxwell stated that his feet were beginning to get tired.
