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?
