How are the books A Wrinkle in Time and The Giver similar?

In The Giver, Jonas has to conform to his

community's expectations and has to be the same

as them to do this. Text evidence can be found on

page 70 "females lose their braids at age ten, and

males, too, relinquished their long childish hair and

society, he has to conform and dress a certain way.

Another example of this can be found about

dressing to signify your conformity and therefore

conformity is a theme in The Giver. In A Wrinkle In Time, conformity is a theme. On

page 5 when Meg does not act the way her

classmates do and expect, a girl says to her "After

all Meg, we aren't grammar school kids anymore.

Why do you always act like such a baby?" Meg

wants to conform with the society around her and

fit in. In chapter nine, when Meg confronts an

extension of IT, IT suggests that Camazotz is a

perfect society "Everybody exactly alike." Meg finds

that everybody conforming as one being is not a

perfect society and that being the same does not

put everyone on the same level saying "No! Like and

equal are not the same thing at all!" This shows that

in the beginning of the text Meg longs to

conform to society's expectations but by the end

thinks that everybody conforming and being alike is

bad and embraces that she does not meet her

worlds expectations.

A tesseract is the fifth dimension. It is when somebody takes a "shortcut" through time and space so that they "teleport" themselves to a different area or place. This concept is most commonly used to jump to a different planet in "A Wrinkle in Time".

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Meg and Charles Wallace and how they try to protect each other even when it's hard, and when Meg doesn't think she can help Charles Wallace whose being controlled by the IT. She has help, but she had courage and she helped Charles Wallace by saying," I love you". over and over and they won the battle!

Asked by Wiki User

Charles Wallace's faults are pride and arrogance. He believes that he can deliberately go into IT and come out. So he stares into the eyes of the Prime Coordinator (The Guy with Red Eyes.) He ultimately becomes manipulated by IT.

How does meg feel the first time she travels by wrinkling through time?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

nothingness. no light. no sound. no sense of sight, or anything else. just...nothingness. after a while, the senses start to return (although I'm assuming the sense of balance was never there during the tesseract) and eventually the place she has traveled to becomes part of the nothingness, taking over the darkness until it is all gone. Sound and sight are back to normal by now, but feeling is a bit off for the first moments.

In A Wrinkle in Time how does Calvin fit in with the murry family?

Asked by Wiki User

Mrs.Murry is really depressed, even though she hides it her from her children. Mr.Murry really helps Meg when she is discouraged at school. There are rumors going around, which really hurt the Murrys reputation. There is also a lot of sadness in the family!
