When Maxwell sneaks back to the hospital the morning after he talks to Freak for the last time, he does not know that his little friend has died.  When he finally realizes the truth, he "just go(es) nuts".  Without really knowing what he is doing, he shoves away the nurses who are trying to restrain him and goes running down the hall, "ready to just blast anybody who dares touch (him)".  Maxwell races...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Loretta Lee calls Freak's dad a magician.  Her remark is mean-spirited, as she explains,
