Do you believe it is easier to imagine or create something? Though the answer to this question could go both ways, this will most commonly be answered that it is easier to imagine something. Movies have to be limited to the real world’s physics and abilities, while books can create an imaginary would, not bound by physics. With this said, A Wrinkle in Time follows the characters Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace as they travel to different planets with Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which in attempt to take back Meg’s father back from a brain depicted as IT. In the end, it is up to Meg to save her brother from the clutches of IT, using her faults and something that IT does not have, as her only weapons. The book and the movie were both very

The relationship between Calvin and Meg was shown to be stronger than expected when nearing the end of chapter 13 when Calvin kisses Meg when saying her goodbyes before she returned to Camazotz alone. As said on page 97, “Calvin came to her and took her hand, then drew her to him and kissed her. He didn’t say anything, and he turned away before he had a chance to see the surprised happiness that brightened her eyes.” There was also a moment of foreshadowing in the beginning of this book when Meg talks to Calvin about her feeling with her dad gone and he complimented her eyes in a way that seemed a bit more than friendly. These details were not included in the movie as Meg and Calvin hugged near the end of the movie, but no more, as he left to his house. The whole scene in the beginning of the book with the two of them talking about Meg’s father also was not shown in the movie.

In the movie version of A Wrinkle In Time, when Meg was first on Camazotz, with Calvin, she simply walked up a flight of, invisible, steps and down a colorful hallway to find her father. The book, however, presented us with a small room and a cell of some sort. Inside the cell was Meg’s father who could not see what was going on outside. Meg fights her way into the cell and uses Mrs.Who’s glasses and her father’s tessering skills to escape. The book says specifically on page 71, “They looked into another small room or cell. In the center of it was a large, round, transparent column, and inside the column was a man. “FATHER!” Meg screamed.” When reading the book, this scene was very much different and made us want her to find him, finally. The movie’s way of presenting Meg’s father felt disappointing because, after many years of him being gone, Meg arrives on Camazotz to walk through a hall and find her father sitting there. The book’s way to present this concept is definitely more favorable than the first, making another reason why the book is better than the
