What I Admire About Four Of The Characters In The Book




The first character I'm going to write about is Charles Wallace. What I admire about Charles Wallace is that he is different from the others. He likes to think about stuff that other people don't take the time to think about. Also, I don't admire him because he's perfect and all that, he sometimes makes mistakes too, like other people. But he is able to stand up to himself. He knows how to talk for himself.



The second character I'm going to write about is Meg. What I admire about Meg is that she cares. She cares about Charles Wallace. Once she gets to know people she actually cares about them. But she might not know you in the beginning, but when she does, she will care. Also, Meg thinks kind of negative about herself.



The third character I'm going to write about is Calvin. What I admire about Calvin is that he actually cares about people. At least only the people he knows. Like, take Meg for example. He cares about her because she is his friend, He knows her. Another person Calvin cares about is Charles Wallace. Most people think Charles wallace is weird because he doesn't talk. So they make fun of him. But in Calvin's story, thats not the case. He understands him.






The fourth, and last, character I'm gonna write about is Mrs.Whatsit. She is, protective. She also is very nice. She takes time to think about people she cares about. In this case, Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace. She thinks about their saftey and thing like that. She even trusted that the three of them enough to send them on a mission! And a dangerous one too! She's a good woman.














My Favorite Event In Chapter Four


My favorite event in chapter four is when Mrs.Whatsit Changes into something else, not Mrs.Whatsit. She turned herself into a creature marble white, she was something like a horse, but at the same time something unlike a horse, also, the creature had wings. She turned into something completely different from Mrs.Whatsit. She turned into something like a horse, with wings, and a man's head.


Why I like that part best is because, well, its a big change to the story. Who would have ever thought Mrs.Whatsit would change into a creature in the almost middle, and almost beginning of the book? Weird twist. it was just so surprising. Nobody ever expected that to happen!

My Favorite Character In "A Wrinkle In Time"


My favorite character in the book, "A Wrinkle In Time" is Charles Wallace. He is my favorite character because he is different from the others, he is more logical too! He does things that no other five year old would do. He uses really big words in each of his sentences, also, his sentences are complete. What else that made me choose Charles Wallace is that, somehow, he can read his mom and sister, Meg's, mind! At least that's the kind of description I would use. He is very reassuring to Meg and his mom in every way. He is always there for them. He knows, somehow.


Some examples that show my character's personality are, in page: 32, which explains how Charles Wallace uses big words and complete sentences, here is what Charles Wallace said: "A change in gene," Charles Wallace quoted, "resulting in the appearance in the offspring of a character which is not present in the parents, but which is potentially transmissible to its offspring." That was one of my examples.



Another example that shows why I picked Charles Wallace as my favorite character is because of his good sense of vocabulary and his dictionary. And this example, that I'm about to choose, explains how good his vocabulary and dictionary is. On page: 33, in the example, he is defining the word compulsion, "Constraint. Obligation. Because one is compelled." that is the definition Charles Wallace gave to the word, compulsion.

The last example that I will give that helps explain why I picked Charles Wallace as my favorite character is on page: 8. when he somehow knows Meg will come down for a midnight snack. He is sure that both his mom and Meg will come, he even put some milk for them on the stove! Its like he read their minds or he saw the future, or something. That was my last example.
