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.…

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…

film by disney. The story is about a girl named meg trying to find her long lost father accompanied by her brother charles and friend calvin . 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 to feature the…
Margaret (Meg) Murry A Wrinkle in Time begins with Meg alone in her attic bedroom, feeling weird, wrong, and out of place in every way. And then she starts talking to cats: "Go back to sleep," Meg said. "Just be glad you're a kitten and not a monster like me." She looked at herself in the wardrobe mirror and made a horrible face, baring a mouthful of teeth covered with braces. Automatically she pushed her glasses into position, ran her fingers through her mouse-brown hair, so that it stood…

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…

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…
