The book, A Wrinkle In Time, is about a young girl, Meg, who's father is a scientist who has gone missing after working on a project. So far, the first chapter is about a girl named Meg who sleeps in an attic, but comes down stairs during a bad storm because she is afraid. She has a little brother named Charles Wallace. Meg isn't the usual girl, she fights. On the way home she beats up a boy who was making fun of her little brother. Her brother,her mother and her all come downstairs during the storm to have a midnight snack and are startled when a strange man comes in. The book isn't the best yet. So far it's rather boring, but it's just the beginning and setting up for something good. Meg seems like an interesting character who will make the book interesting also. I wonder if the rest of the book will be more detailed and into it unlike the first chapter. The book itself seemed interesting and fun to read, but of course it's boring in the first part.m

The Time Machine Chapter 7
Meagan S
Chapter 7 didn't start off too interesting. Most of the chapter had to do with the time traveler and Weena (the little gentle creature above ground) heading out to the green building. The time traveler also came to the conclusion that the Morlocks (the underground creatures) eat the Eloi (above ground creatures). He found out what the meet was in the tunnel finally. On the way to the building, Weena kept putting flowers in the time traveler's pocket, which was adorable, kind of reminds you of father and daughter. Darkness comes along and there was also a huge dark forest that comes along the path, put they choose to avoid it and the night, and sleep on a hill. The time traveler decides to stay up all night because he didn't want the Morlocks to attack them. One of the big things was when the time traveler decided to stay up, he watched the stars and noticed how the constellations changed since his time. Which I thought was pretty interesting. Anyways, one thing that I thought was interesting was how the Morlocks eat the Eloi. How did humanity turn into these creatures who eat each other. Yeah it's over thousands of years, but who did that come to be? Why are the Morlocks so evil and mean and the Eloi so nice and gentle and fragile?

The Time Machine Chapter 6
Meagan S
Honestly, if you were in a strange world that you have never been before, would you go into the ground to find out more about these dangerous creatures? I mean yeah, you're curious, but your life is in danger. In chapter 6, the Time Traveler goes down into the well and ends up finding a tunnel. In the tunnel, he hears machines throughout it and also meat on a table. I wonder what the meat actually is and how they got it.... On his way down, he feels this Morlocks (the creatures under ground) touch him, which scares him and he lights a match, only to find out they don't like the light. One thing that is stupid of the time traveler is that he only brings a small box of matches with him. Later on in the tunnel, the Morlocks start getting hostile and he used up all of the matches. Luckily, he ends up getting out of the tunnel. I don't get why he wouldn't bring more stuff with him to the future. He should know to bring stuff to protect him against what could be there or he could get killed. These Morlock creatures actually sound pretty cool, but nasty looking. I wonder if they are the ones who took the time machine?
