Mrs. R — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 21:01:43 +0000

A Wrinkle in Time leaves us with a message of hope, possibility, goodness, and individuality. Why must these concepts all exist in order for the world to be “right”? How are these ideas related to events in the world today?

A Wrinkle in Time- Question 1

Mrs. R — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 20:57:35 +0000

There were many different forms of communication in this novel, including the crystal ball of the Happy Medium, the singing of the winged creatures, Charles Wallace’s ability to read others’ thoughts, etc. How do you think communication helped the children accomplish a resolution?

Meg had trouble communicating with everyone until the end of the novel. Do you think that could be because she was filled with anger and hatred? How does anger affect our abilities to communicate?
