Time Quartet (A Wrinkle in Time)

Meg is a VERY stubborn student, a so called "moron". She is very impatient, and yet she is very intelligent. She knows many shortcuts in math and science, so she doesn't like the LONG way that the school teaches the subjects. She "sets a fine mental block" for herself.

Dr. Alexander Murry was and is a physicist. A group of scientists were playing with the concept of tesseracts, and Mr.Murry was one of these scientists. Their aim was to get to Mars. The scientists "picked straws", and Mr.Murry was second on the list to tesser. Mr.Murry,as I said before, was heading for Mars, however, because of his inexperience in tessering, he ends up on Camazotz. That is when IT captures him in a glass cylinder, which is transparent on the outside, but inside is pitch-black. In that cylinder, Mr.Murry and IT fought for 5 years. Mr.Murry says to Calvin that he believes that he could not have been on that planet for more than two years, however, time apparently "flows differently" there than on Earth. He was released from IT when Meg saves him from IT using Mrs.Who's spectacles, which apparently re-arranged the atoms in that cylinder. (These spectacles apparently are for one time use only as well.) After that, he joins the three kids in the rest of the quest, and is re-united with his other children, the twins Sandy and Dennys, and his wife, Dr. Kate Murry.

Note:

Everything that happened before Meg saves Mr.Murry is explained in Calvin O'Keefe and Mr.Murry's conversation on Ixchel whilst Meg is paralyzed from tessering through the "Dark Thing". This conversation stops once Meg finally starts to regain feeling.

The "Dark Thing" is trying to take over. It makes Earth troubled and unhappy.

Calvin's gift was communication. He tries to pull Charles Wallace from IT using his words, and he did for a split second. Then IT claimed Charles Wallace again. Only at the very end does Charles Wallace get released, but if you want to know how, go read the book!

The Rising action begins around chapter 4 an ends around chapter 7. Mrs. whatsit shows her other form ( a centaur/angel thingy) to the children after they tesser to Uriel and the fly around the planet. Mrs Whatsit points out a dark shadow called "The Black Thing" and then they leave Uriel to see the Happy Medium. The first time they tesser they land on a two-dimensional planet that causes Meg and the others to be flattened. Mrs. Which tessers away quickly an apologizes to the children once they land on the Happy Mediums planet. The Happy Medium shows them their planet, which is covered by The Black Thing. They then tesser to a place called Camazots, where Mr. Murry is captured. They notice Camazots isn't normal and go to the CENTRAL Central Intelligence Building, where the man with the red eyes hypnotizes Charles Wallace. The climax is when Meg finds her father and meets IT.

A simile is a comparison using the words like or as to describe something

The most important settings are The Murry's house, Charles Wallace's mithochondria, the school, and the garden by the north pasture.

There are many alliterations in A Wrinkle In Time you just have to look for them! =) Two alliterations i found were Peter, Peter pumpkin eater had a wife and couldn't keep her. Another one was Georgie, Porgie pudding and pie kissed the girls and made them cry! I found these answers were Charles Wallace was denying the man with the red eyes trying to get inside their minds. Cute alliterations !

Chambray is a lightweight cotton fabric that can wrinkle, but it tends to be less prone to wrinkling compared to some other fabrics like linen. The degree of wrinkling can depend on the specific weave and finish of the chambray. Generally, it holds its shape fairly well, but occasional ironing may be needed to maintain a crisp look.
