Research to deepen thoughts

        To make my thoughts, feelings, and questions about the book Freak the Mighty deeper, I did some research on the auther, Rodman Philbrick. While doing my research on him, I found lots of interesting ideas and facts about him, that deepened my thinking on the book greatly.

        One thing that I found out from researching Rodman Philbrick is that he also wrote a book called Max the Mighty, a sequel to Freak the Mighty. This deepened my thinking on the book Freak the Mighty, and on the author, Rodman Philbrick. Now, from knowing this, I think about other good books i have read in the past, and if the authors of those books have written other good books. If so, i would love to read them. The website i got this information from is: WWW.rodmanphilbrick.com/book20.

         On http://biography.jfrank.com, i found some more interesting information on Rodman Philbrick, such as; He is a screen writer and a novelist, he was born in Boston,Mass, and he loved fishing as a kid. This deepens my thinking a lot about Freak the Mighty, because now when I read it, i can sort of picture Rodman Philbrick as a kid, and that helps me understand maybe how and why he would write the books he wrote.

        In conclusion, researching your book, or the author of the book you like a lot, can help you think, feel, and ask deeper things about the book. After I researched Rodman Philbrick, all my thoughts about the book Freak the Mighty got more safisticated, and a lot deeper.
