Meg Cabot

I have been busy reading more of Meg Cabot’s All American Girl. In All American Girl, Sam has been forced into going to drawing lessons. Her first lesson at the studio did not go so well. Sam was humiliated and by the time her next lesson came around she was not going to lose her pride again. Instead of going to her drawing lesson, Sam chose to go to a music store, Static. In the store she sat next to a middle-aged man in an army uniform, listening to Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl. They both exited out of Static and noticed that the president’s motorcade was coming. The flashing lights weren’t a big surprise; the fact that the president exited the limo was a surprise. Mr. Uptown Girl was retrieving something from his coat pocket, a black pistol. The only thing Sam could think of doing was jumping on the back of Mr. Uptown Girl, causing him to lose his…

Why did Madeleine L’Engle write A Wrinkle In Time? Here is why I look at why she wrote the book. One, she is probably telling people endless matters are rolling right at you. Still, people don’t even acknowledge it. People sit there like nothing wrong. there is a full world waiting for us, the people, but you don’t even notice what's happening in front of you. Two, Madeleine L’Engle wanted to warn people about IT. What is IT, IT is the technology. Reason number one. Why would Madeleine L’Engle…

great story. It had many science fiction elements (sci-fi) and great conflicts in it. I chose three of those conflicts which were sameness vs. uniqueness, control vs. freedom and the third and last one was good vs evil. Those three conflicts represents “A Wrinkle in Time” very well. In my opinion, Meg Murry, Charles Wallace Murry, and Calvin O’Keefe the main characters in the story, get to go to many strange and wonderful places and are very lucky, too. Meg is a funny girl who thinks that she…

Meg Murry was a typical young girl until Mrs. Whatsit visits and begins to unveil an entirely new universe. Madeleine L’Engle’s novel A Wrinkle in Time is another circular fantasy novel.

The number three is one that appears in many fantasy novels, and the three divine characters represent this in the novel. “But what’s going…

The original book was by madeline l’engle. The book and movie were actually not that similar though. The book was better than the movie because of the twins, the beasts, and charles is 5 and doesn’t go to school. The book is better because it includes the twins, sandy and dennys. I was incredibly upset when the movie failed…

Bradbury’s novel, Fahrenheit 451, portrays a society where all books are outlawed. If a book was found in someone’s house not only would the book be burned, but the house along with everything the person owned would be burned too. Montag knew this when he took the risk of hiding books, and in the end, that risk ended up costing him. Unfortunately, our society too is censoring books in which are considered “bad” by certain people. One of these books is A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle due…
