Do we learn anything worthwhile or meaningful about the character?
Well when they return the pocketbook to iggy and peers wevlesrn that max and freaks dad where know by them.so we don't really learn about character but we learn about unknown characters. Characters that are explained but not phisicallyvin the book.
Also later on when max isbin the principales office and the pricipale mentions his dad and he freaks out and blanks out we learn how the main character feel about this character a little more deeply. I think this is something wotlrthwhile and meaningful because max not having a father might have to do with why he is a punk. It also makes u wonder about his mom and why he lives with his grandparents. So I think this is meaningful in the book freak the mighty.
