Freak the Mighty Intro

Please respond on your own blog.  Any questions or quick thoughts you can comment with on this post.

Think about and list several qualities you look for in a friend.  Please rank the qualities in order of most important to you to least important to you.  For example:

1. Loyal
2. Kind
3. Honest
4. Fun
5. Smart

After your list is completed think about meeting new people, Max, the main character in the novel, makes the wrong first impression on the people he meets. How important are first impressions? Do you think that they are accurate? Have you ever made judgments about people without really knowing them? Have people ever misjudged you without taking the time to get to know you?
