A wrinkle in Time - Themes :)

I think the most important theme in the book is family loyalty. Why? Because when someone is having a tough time they need someone to support them and need them there to lean on.  Many teenagers todays are going through problems like anorixia , drugs, smoking and tough stuff like that… well, they probebly do these stuff because they are sad, depressed or having an issue with themselves. They need at least a parent, sibling, anunts and uncles, or even grandparents who will be there for them and always provide unconditional love. Sometimes parents need their children there because the parents themselves need somone to lean on for support. People need to be honest and accepting to one another, so that it wont be hard for anyone to say something in times of need. They need to be comfortable and feel warm around there family. I think family loyalty is the most important theme of all.

A Wrinkle in Time. I think this book is cunfusing and hard to keep up with but once you get into it , its like your in a world of your own. There’s so much creativity and thought put into the book that its over whelming. I, actually, had to take notes and as I was taking notes I relalized that even though there is alot of fantasy, there is reality. It shows that how much conflict there is in the world today. It also shows that there are many misfits in the world. Not only at school or at work but anywhere! I think this book has so many morals and lessons and I believe that its a great book and I would recomend it to anyone!

Responding to A Wrinkle in Time Chapter 1-4

In class we are reading a book called A Wrinkle in Time. This book has amazing creativity inserted into the text. There are also alot of morals in this book if you really try hard to read between the lines.

My thoughts about Meg’s personality is that she is very insecure abut herself. She doesn’t like her physical apearance and she’s not doing very well in school. She also doesnt have any friends which must be hard for her when she need someone to talk to. But I dont think that she relizes that she has a family that loves and care about her. She also doesnt appreciate that fact that not only does her family love her but they need her. For, she is the oldest and after her fathers’ disapearnce  her mother has been going through alot and she needs to be there to help support her mother and her brothers. Meg doesnt realise it but she is a V.I.P

I think that Meg is unhappy at school because she doesnt feel comfortable with her physical apearance. They described her her looks in the book as ” geekly” or  “dorky”. Actually, she not geeky at all. She’s practicly the opostite! She isnt successfull at school and her teachers make sure that she knows it. They keep givig her ” put downs”. Also, no one ever notices her. So, she doesnt have a friend. A friends is a very important ingrediant. Everyone needs a friend to lean on. Times when we are having troubles or times when they have troubles and they need us for support. Basically, Meg doesnt have anyone that she can blend withor hang out with. These reasons would make anyone unhappy at school

Calvin fits in perfecly with the Murry family because even though he is the popular jock,way deep down he is a, well, misfit. But, he kind of the opposite of Meg. Meg is a misfit at school but she is looved and cared for at home. As for Calvin, he is the popular jock that everyone wants to be around at school but no love or care is headed towards him at home. I think that he has tought Meg about friendship. She has never had a friend before and it must feel really good to give someone that special gift. He is also like a “big brother” for Charels Wallace. Calvin seems to understand Charels Wallace more than anyone. Calvin is sweet and caring and I believe that he is one of the best characters in this book. 

Calvin Meg and her brother, Charels Wallace go with to Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs.Who and Mrs. Which because they are on a quest to find Mr. Murry. Mr.Murry disapears to a whole other world. They soon find out that they are not only there to save Megs father but also to save earth from evil!

I think that meg trusts the mrs. W’s because Charels Wallace trusts them. Also Charels has known them for along time. Also there is something diffrent about them.

If I were a counceler and I had to write a note to Mrs Murry this is what it would be:

Dear Mrs. Murry,

I have noticed that Meg has been having some difficulty with school.  She is not a very social girl or/and is very shy therefor that might result in why she doesnt have many friends. That can be solved easily but we need Meg’s cooperation, perseverence and that she would take the time of day to come in and work with me personally. Also, if she needs help wih her school work I would happily hire a tutor for her. But if she is not giving any effort at her school work than she should come with me and I will help her with that personally.

Thank you very much,

Your daughters counceler
