Chapter thirteen: "American Chop Suey"
In chapter thirteen of Freak the Mighty, Max talks about his experience of Friday the 13th. He mentions that he had to go to the principal’s office because he was requested. Mrs. Addison, the principal, explains that the parole board has a request for Max about his father, but Max immediately doesn’t want to hear it. He covers his ears and he ends up hitting a nurse in the nurse’s office. Later that day, Freak was eating some chop suey at lunch and started choking. Turns out, he was having a seizure and was turning purple. Luckily, Max called for help and got a nurse to keep him conscious. At the end of the chapter, Mrs. Addison comes up to Max and says, “You’ve had quite a day, haven’t you?” (Philbrick 87).
