A Wrinkle In Space and Time


Warping through space and time to an unknown location in the universe. Thats what three kids name Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace have to do in A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle. The three of them meet three women named Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which, and Mrs. Whatsit. All of them embark on a journey to another world to save Meg and Charles Wallace’s Father. The  conflict of this story is the dark thing that is taking over stars and planets.

Although explaining the conflict helps it would help to explain it. The reason that this is the conflict other than Charles Wallace and Meg’s father being stuck on camazotz is because if the dark thing took over a planet then everything on that planet turns evil. If the dark thing takes over any planet then it either destroys it or turns it evil. This type of conflict is person vs. self because on camazotz they have to help themselves from letting IT take over them.

Even though the conflict is interesting the resolution of this story is even more interesting. The resolution of this story is when meg tessers back to camazotz and saves charles wallace from IT and they escape camazotz without any further complications.

In Addition the resolution is valuable to this story and what led up to the resolution. Some factors that lead up to the resolution were that Meg wanted to get her little brother Charles Wallace back from IT. Another thing could have been that Mrs. Whatsit didn’t believe that Meg have fully accomplished what she was supposed to do on camazotz. These are some of the events that lead up to the resolution and help with what resolved the conflict.

All in all the conflict is when the dark thing taking over stars and planets and either turning them evil or destroying them. The resolution of this story is when Meg frees Charles Wallace and tessers back to Earth.
