A Wrinkle In Time Part 4

Meagan S

In chapter 4, Meg feels like the world around her is turned to black like a tv being turned off and she feels alone and there's nothing there anymore. When this is all happening, she is unable to speak or move. After awhile, it all comes back to her and she can hear voices talking, like her brother and friend, but she can't see them. Finally Calvin, her friend shoves her and she comes into this new place, a new reality. She looks around to see a beautiful field during spring, but even though it was fall back home. She finally sees her friend Calvin and her brother Charles Wallace and then Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which join them. After awhile, Mrs.Whatsit finally tells them they're on a different planet and got there by tessering. (What exactly is that? Is it linked to the mission their dad is on?) Suddenly, which i found very strange is that Mrs.Whatsit turns into a centaur and tells everyone to get on her back and they fly around the planet. One thing that was pretty cool, is that when they were flying higher up, it was becoming harder to breathe so they swooped down, grabbed some flowers. Why? Because of the oxygen they give off. The sun and the moon began to set and the darkness begins to take over and this black thing that is going on, makes them all uncomfortable. I wonder the same thing that Meg said at the end of the chapter, if the black thing is what her father is trying to fight. This book started out boring, but after this chapter i found it really interesting and wondering the same thing. Is the father on this planet somewhere trying to control this thing?

Chapter two wasn't all too exciting. Meg believes that the night before was just a dream but her mother tells her that it wasn't. Mrs.Whatsit invites them to come over so the kids head over to their house with the kids dog also coming along. Mrs. Who, another woman who lives in the house, doesn't seem like the best person. She tells Mrs. Whatsit that their father is in need of their help. The kids can tell that their dog isn't fond of the woman and the kids decide to listen to the dogs judgement and end up leaving. I wonder why the dog doesn't like her. What kind of vibe does she give off in order for that to happen? In chapter 3, the kids and a new friend head back to their house for dinner. Their new friend Calvin keeps asking about Meg's father and what happened to him and why he went missing. In this chapter we find out that their father is a physicist doing Top Secret government work, and that all the government will tell them is that he's on "a secret and dangerous mission". They haven't heard or seen their father in a long time. Meg is scared that the government doesn't even know where he is and she ends up crying tome Calvin, her friend. One thing I am really anxious to find out about is why the father went missing in the first place and why the government won't give more answers on it. If he is doing and mission for them, wouldn't the know? Obviously it's going to be a time machine, given that Meg thinks they don't know where he is and along with the title of the book.
