Week+2+Discussion

1) What do you think the dark thing is or represents?

2) Meg tells the Happy Medium that her anger helps her, because when she's mad she hasn't got room to be afraid. Later Mrs. Whatsit tells Meg, "Stay angry - you will need all your anger now."

Can you think of a situation where being angry helped you? Can you think of another time when being angry was harmful? Write about these situations. 3) In Chapter 5, when Mrs. Whatsit talks about the battle against evil, she prompts the children to think of the fighters on their own planet. Charles Wallace immediately says, "Jesus." Then the children list others, including artists, scientists, and religious figures.

Read this section again. By including Jesus in this list, do you think the author is suggesting that the others mentioned are //equal// to Jesus? Explain.

4) Describe what Camazotz is like. How would you like living in a place like this?
