Hi this is Iris and I am reading the second book “ A Wrinkle in Time” ,although I haven’t finished reading “Pride and Prejudice”. This is because I have found that “Pride and Prejudice” is quite hard for me to finish before midterm.There are a lot of vocabularies and sentences that I couldn’t understand. I think giving up in time is also a beginning.
So, A Wrinkle in Time. This story is about Meg Murry,a high-school-aged girl who is transported on an adventure through time and space with her younger brother Charles Wallace,who is five years old, and her friend Calvin to rescue her father who is a scientist,disappeared so many years ago.During this adventure they got help from Mrs Whatsit,Mrs Which, Mrs Who and the Happy Medium.
Meg is unhappy with her physical appearance. She hates her mouse-brown hair, braces, glasses, and considers herself as a "monster" in comparison with her beautiful mother. When I was reading I found that she is very sensitive and pessimistic.She thinks everything is wrong and she is not behave good.She doesn’t see any of her own good just like a lot of us.I realized we have to change that mindset,overall everyone is unique.No matter you’re smart or not,and don’t feel bad about your life.Like Meg,she thinks everything was so wrong but her friend Calvin envy her because of her mother’s love to her.We have to find goodness of our life,there is no way that not to have a good thing.
During their adventure, I think they are very brave. “The Black Thing” during this chapter I see how terror their journey is. “All light was gone.Darkness was complete.Calvin was being torn from her.She screamed out, Charles!” I can see her fear through author’s writing.Also when they were lost from each other I see how much Charles care about her.Although he is just a five years old boy,he tried to protect her.In the first chapter of the novel Meg also fight with the person who called Charles “dumb baby” and got a big bruise under her one eye.Through this I see how families are willing to do to protect people they love.This is what we should too.
I could relate to the character of the book, Meg Murry, very much. Sometimes when I feel down and dejected, I'd mind every negative little thing about myself and make a big deal out of it. But other days I will be the opposite and see the imperfections as something trivial. I really look forward to what challenges and trials the journey has to offer for Meg, Charles, and Calvin and their developments.
