Wrinkle In Time

In the book A Wrinkle in time, the three main characters, Meg, her brother Charles Wallace, and a friend named Calvin go with three other strange beings go to literally the ends of the universe to stop an evil force and save Meg and Charles Wallace’s father, who are the same person because they are related. Meg and Calvin are in high school, and Charles Wallace will be attending pre-K soon. This story begins in a large and extremely old house. Meg arrives from school. She does not like school. At school even the teachers talk about her. Teachers say that how could two smart scientists have a dumb daughter. They also were talking about Sandy and Denis, who are twins who are siblings of Meg and Calvin, they had said that they act and talk normally like the other kids so they say they are normal. Calvin they say is really smart and Meg is really thick headed.
The adventure begins when Meg, Charles Wallace, and Meg/Charles’s mother are visited by a “tramp”. The tramp had stolen pillows and bed sheets from a very wealthy home owner nearby. The tramp asks for a sandwich, which Charles Wallace was making for Meg, and their mother. After eating the tramp, whose name is Mrs. Whatsit tells Meg and Charles Wallace’s mother that a terrseract does exist. Mother is struck with a mixture of fear, surprise, and worry. The next day, after school ends, Meg and Charles Wallace go looking for Mrs. Whatsit. They find her cabin and also find Calvin, a friend of Megs. Charles Wallace considers himself and Calvin to have a connection. At Mrs. Whatsit’s cabin, Mrs. Whatsit tells the children what is happening. Mrs. Whatsit’s friends Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which appear from air and tell the three kids that Meg and Charles Wallace’s father is being held captive by the center of the disruption.
The three are taken to an other world by tesseract. The three ask what a tesseract is. Meg and Charles Wallace’s mother would not give them an answer. The three Mrs. Ws tell them it is a distortion of the fifth dimension. Calvin and Charles Wallace understand. Meg is still confused, so Charles and Calvin try to explain further. They ask her for the first dimension. She replies, a straight line. The second dimension is the first dimension squared. The second dimension is a flat shape. That squared is a three dimensional figure. Charles then said that the fourth dimension can not be multiplied like the other three. “Call the fourth dimension Time” said Charles Wallace. The three Mrs. Ws then say that the fifth dimension is the tesseract. They also describe a tesseract as an immediate travel. Light speed, however fast it is traveling in only one line. A tesseract is the bending of the fabrics that make up space and time. They say that with a visual. An ant travels from one side of a string to the other. However fast it goes it would be faster to just bend the string so the ends touch. A tesseract is proof that there is only one way from one point to an other.
At the planet, they gather flowers and fly up in the sky past all of the clouds. There they all see the dark thing. It really is a dark thing. Stars are not visible through it. They then see a shining light about to be devoured by the dark thing. The light grows to a blinding ray that vaporizes the darkness. The Mrs. Ws tell what had happened. They tell them that the light was the death of a star. A star had given up its life to damage the darkness. They then tell them that they are stars too.
After that they all tesser to Camozotz. The planet that has IT. IT is the center of the Dark Thing. The planet also has Meg/Charles’s father. By the country side all of the homes and yards are exactly the same children are playing with a red rubber ball and one drops a ball. The mothers call each child home. Charles picks up the ball and returns the ball. The Mother is filed with fear and says that they NEVER drop balls. Later on, they reach the CENTRAL-Center home of It. They go in and eventually IT gains control of Charles. Charles’s father tesser them away and they return to free Chaarles and Destroy IT.
