Post 8 (Post 4 for A Wrinkle in Time)

In A Wrinkle in Time, there was a lot of talk about family and love and in the end it is what saved Meg, Charles Wallace, and everyone else from IT.
Even if Meg was having a rough time in her life, she knew she could rely on her family to love her and be there with her. She had a special connection to Charles Wallace that no one else quite had. It was like she got him, even if she didn’t realize it. There was also Meg’s love for her father. Despite the fact that he was missing, she still loved him and had faith that he was alright. Her love for him eventually caused him to be rescued. Meg and Calvin came to love each other, too. As they got to know one another on their strange travels, it seemed as if they fell in love, which was actually a really cute part of the story. I was rooting for them. Anyway, the family had really close bonds and were able to defeat the evil brain, otherwise known as IT because their love outweighed IT’s cruelness and need for control. Because of Meg’s love for Charles Wallace, she was able to overcome IT’s creepy mind control over him. She stays tough, even though the IT controlled Charles Wallace is trying to drag her to the dark side. She comes to see that IT only has hatred and things that would rip people apart, but he doesn’t have love. She knows the only way to defeat IT was to have her love outweigh IT’s hate and oppression, and it worked. Through the love of Charles Wallace and the rest of her family, Meg overcame evil and could live in peace with all who loved her, again.
