In the book “A Wrinkle In Time” the character Meg Murry developed and changed in many ways throughout the story. Meg was an oddball, but by the end of the story she was a hero. Meg thought she was just ordinary and not special, but she could be something more. She was odd in the beginning and she thought little of herself.

Molly Lou Melon has moved to a new school and is being teased by her classmates because she looks different. Molly is the smallest in her grade, has buck teeth, fumble fingered, and has a voice that sounds like a bullfrog being squeezed by a boa constrictor. The bully calls her inferior things such as “shrimpo” and a “bucky toothed beaver”(Lovell 9). The character doesn't let the boy’s comments get to her, she only does more of what the bully was teasing her about. Molly shows them that she can balance shiny new pennies on her teeth. Instead of getting down about the classmates bullying her, she is confident enough to show them the good side of all of the shortcomings. She is very confident in herself no matter what other people see.. Her grandmother helps her by telling her to always, “walk as proudly as {she} can...smile big... sing out clear and strong … believe in {her}self and the world will believe in {her} too” and she always did. (Lovell 13) The grandmother helps Molly Melon because they look alike and she probably knows how it feels to get teased. She is family and your supposed to help

Meg lacks fashion as a whole, she wears no makeup, hair products, or clean clothes. Our main character finds this time consuming and unreasonable. Her daily outfit involves jeans, ripped fabric, same old sneakers, and dirty shirts the majority of the year! She definitely needs a makeover, but it's on the inside what counts.

I like Meg because she is what I view her as a symbol of femininity. Characters like Lara Craft or Mulan from other movies are what women power is all about as such contrast of strength and will from their "petite" appearance are amusing for me, but this doesn’t move me romantically. The reason why is I of course, what to be the boyfriend of well capable women like Lara Craft or Mulan, but I afraid I don't have outstanding abilities like they do. I feel like I would drag them down even if they say I don't hinder them at all. As their boyfriend, man, and personally, I would not be happy as I could be unless I rose to their level. I, however, feel like Meg is around my level. The reason why is while her beauty and personality are great, there

Meg is very bright. But, she does not act so bright in school. At school Meg acts disruptive. She smarts off to her teachers. She shows no respect for anyone at her school.
