One leading up to the main rising action was when Mrs. Whatsit and her friends explain to all the kids the journey through the tesseract and how dangerous it can be. They all explain that language is going to be a very key going through time. Some planets won’t even know what they are and what they are doing. Another rising action moment leading to the climax was when “It” controls Charles Wallace’s mind in Camazots. In the novel Megan states “she felt numb’, it was dark and the streets were deserted. The setting plays a big because it sets the gloomy mood in the disastrous city. “Its” Mind set is full of evil and hatred, his goal is to destroy, dictate anything that is less than him in his own dimension. Charles Wallace’s whole personality changes, Megan and Calvin notice the difference immediately. Calvin tries to use a certain kind of communication to break what the Man in red eyes(IT) has put on to Charles. Charles is under complete control and is saying things to Megan that hit her heart personally. One example is “Mrs. Whatsit hates you”. It is saying these things dictating Charles completely.

After going through all the stress trying to find the father, Megan must come up with a solution to save her little brother from the mind controlling of It. Megan later realizes she cannot leave her brother behind. The climax of the story was Megan found Its weakness, love. Megan Loves Charles and that’s something nobody can take away from her. In the novel, it states “If she could give love to IT perhaps it would shrivel up” Megan thought she was incapable of doing such a thing. Megan repeatedly said she LOVES Charles. Slowly it disintegrates into and the darkness is
