Get Talking: A Wrinkle In Time

A little overdue, but here are a few questions to get you talking about A Wrinkle In Time.

A Wrinkle In Time is very much a novel about good vs. evil. Who in the book represents good? Who represents evil?

At the beginning of the book, Meg isn't happy with who she is.  Have you ever felt like that?  Have you ever wanted to be just like everyone else?

What makes Charles Wallace so extraordinary. How do these traits both hurt and help him on Camazotz?

If you had the opportunity to time travel, would you? If you could chose the time, what time period would you travel to? The past? The future?

Why does the school principal, Mr. Jenkins, want Meg to accept that her father is never coming home? Should Meg believe him? Why? Why not?

How is Calvin’s home life different from Meg’s? How is his school life different from Meg’s?

How would you react if you were taken on a surprise journey to another planet?

Who are some of the famous people mentioned as fighting the Dark Thing? What do they all have in common?

Charles Wallace says that they can’t make decisions based on fear. Do you agree?

What does Meg have that IT doesn’t have? Is this something she can use in other situations? If so, how?
