A Wrinkle in Time Chapter 8

The hypnotized Charles Wallace says the man with red eyes is a friend. Who does he say are the real enemies?

• Father

• The "Mrs." characters.

• The IT

According to Charles, what’s the reason Meg’s unhappy at school and the world has wars and people on earth are confused?

• Because of climate change

• Because people are different.

• Because the IT is causing terrorism.

Why is this chapter called “The Transparent Column”?

• Because the kids ride in a glass elevator.

• Because Charles Wallace uses special powers to add the glasses Meg got from Mrs. Who to a tall stack other other glasses.

• Because the man with red eyes has a long glass wand to do mind control on Charles Wallace.

What does Charles mean when he says, “Father is a misconception”?

• Nothing because ever since he got hypnotized he's been saying random things that don't mean anything.

• On Camazotz, family and human connection don't exist.

• He's talking about Calvin's dad who is missing.

Where do the kids find Father? Why is he there?

• In a swimming pool because he likes water.

• Trapped, floating in some kind of cage because he violated rules in Camazotz.

• In a science lab because he is a scientist doing government research.

Meg and Calvin say it’s good to be “different” - being different from other people is what makes you you. Charles says differences just cause problems. Who do you agree with more? Why? Give examples that support your thinking.
