The novel a “Wrinkle in Time” was a 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 is a moron. Charles is a little boy with a big understanding. Calvin is a popular athlete in high school. Meg, Charles, and Calvin go on a journey to find Meg’s father, Mr. Murry. Mr. Murry is a physicist for the government.

On Uriel, there are centaur like creatures with feathered wings. They also visit a place called Camoztz, a planet controlled by IT. IT is a giant, disembodied brain that controls everyone on the planet Camoztz. If I were to compare Earth to Camoztz, Camoztz would be like a prison where you had to follow your orders or you would die. Earth would be a place that Camoztz would never understand. I quote from the book, “Like and Equal are not the same thing at all.”(page 154) Meg screams this at IT to tell IT that the people on the planet has the same values but on earth everyone is different but alike at the same time. Alike means having a few similarities, but IT thinks that alike means everyone is the same. Equal people have everything in common. IT made the decision for people on Camoztz because IT was in control. The conflict, sameness vs. uniqueness was well represented on Camoztz. There are other conflicts that represents this story well, …show more content…
Everyone had to be the same. In the novel on page 130, it says, “You see, on this planet everything is in perfect order because everybody has learned to relax, give in, to submit.” Submitting to IT is giving away your freedom. Everyone on Camoztz is controlled by IT, doing whatever they are doing perfectly and exactly the same every time. On Earth, people have the right to do what they want, when they want. When it is the time to play, the jump rope and the ball touch the ground at the same time. Perfection is everything on Camoztz. The freedom Meg, Charles, and Calvin had would be impossible to find there. On Earth there isn’t a brain controlling us. IT is an evil creature and there are other evil things in this book and the dark thing is one of
