Last post for A Wrinkle in Time-Comparing and contrasting

I agree that Meg realizes that hatred and fear won’t help her or solve anything but she learns that love is much better then hatred and it more powerful and very positive feeling to have. It is hard to fight hatred and fear with hatred and fear; it will just absorb each other. That is good to learn love and use it rather than hatred.

The Outsiders and A Wrinkle in Time are two completely different books but have some similarities. What make the books different is the story lines like The Outsiders is about a kid named Ponyboy and his gang of greasers and A Wrinkle of Time is about a girl name Meg, who isn’t the brightest child, on a dangerous journey to find her farther with her younger brother Charles Wallace and Calvin O’Keefe. Even though the story lines are different, they do have some similarities between the books like they are both science fiction books.

A Wrinkle in Time is also similar to 1948; the only thing that makes them similar is the government systems. On the planet of Camazotz, the government called the IT controls everyone and made sure everyone will stay tune with the brainwashing of IT. If anyone doesn’t stay tuned or stay under the rule of IT, he or she will be taken it to get an adjustment or in other words, brainwashing. Another way how IT has control over their people is by looking into the man with the red eyes or the light or else “he’ll hypnotize you (134).” With 1984, if anyone disobeys the rule or rebel against Big Brother by thinking or any other way, they would be arrested and will be force against their will to never do those actions against Big Brother and brainwashed to devote themselves to Big Brother. So they are similar because of the government that were in each books have control over the people by brainwashing.
