An Analysis Of Madeleine L 'Engle's A Wrinkle In Time'

What is courage? I define courage by being tough in a tough situation. Mississippi Trial a book where an African-American boy is murdered because of his race. In this book, there are many people who I think have courage, but no more than Naomi Rydell. Naomi is a beautiful young woman who lives a horrible life from being abused by her father, she acts as two people, and even though it all she stays truthful to her father.

One good example of courage is in Homer's epic poem, “The Odyssey,” when Odysseus enters the Cyclops’ cave. In the epic poem Odysseus and his men enter the Cyclops cave and the text states “We climbed, then, briskly to the cave. But Cyclops had gone afield..." (Homer 157-158). This example demonstrates that Odysseus enters a Cyclops cave and is not fearful. Odysseus enters the cave because he sees treasure and wants to get it for him and his crew. Odysseus chooses to enter the cave even though he knew the cave was the Cyclops home and this demonstrates courage, and this is why the trait should be encouraged. Another good example of courage that sticks out is Newton Knight, who chooses to help slaves even though he lives in the south during the Civil War. In the Biography.com Editors’s article, “Newton Knight,” Knight chooses to stop fighting for the Confederate Army and goes back to his hometown to help slaves, as the text states “They saw themselves as defending the residents of Jones County from the Confederacy” (Biography.com Editors 1). Therefore, this example demonstrates that Knight chooses to fight against the Confederate Army even though he lives in Mississippi. It takes a lot of courage to go up against the Confederate Army even though he lived in the south and almost everyone was against him. It should

We all have opportunities to display courage in our life, but if we actually do is our decision. Courage is being able to do what is right even if it can be hard.

Courage is an important quality to have, because everyone can’t always be afraid of everything and let their fears hold them back. Sometimes people have to do things that they don’t want to do, or they have to face their fears.

Towards the middle of Madeleine L’engle’s A Wrinkle In Time excerpt, Meg’s tone is full of misery. Her father is missing from her life. In the excerpt she is talking to Calvin and filling him in about what she knows about her father.

In Maya mythology, Camazotz was a bat god (Miller & Taube 1997). The word means "death bat" in the K'iche' language. The bat was associated with night, death, and sacrifice (Miller & Taube 1997).

In "A Wrinkle in Time" written by Madeleine L'Engle, Camazotz is a planet ruled by IT. It is similar to Earth having familiar trees, a hill, and a town. It is in fact quite depressing due to the fact that everything is duplicated. For example, the houses are all exactly alike, small square boxes painted gray (L'Engle 1962).
