The Underlying Courage in “A Wrinkle in Time”

The theme of this book is bravery. All through the book both Seth and Kendra had to show extreme amounts of bravery. Fighting, rescuing, and not holding back are the things they showed the most bravery for. They both did what had to be done and succeeded. With other smaller themes like chaos, trickery, and patient’s bravery stood out to me the

She finds strength in the book through her faults like on Camazotz she found them useful ,"But I'm always trying to get rid of my faults!" "Yes," Mrs. Whatsit said. "However, I think you'll find they'll come in very handy on Camazotz." (6.82-86). Meg found a way to beat the system and find a way to win. Meg just didn’t know she had the ability to be such a

The theme in literature is the lesson you learn from what you have read. You learn a lesson from everything you experience in life and everything that you read has a purpose to teach you something. Sometimes the lesson comes from what other people have experienced, such as in the book Night by Elie Wiesel. Other times the theme comes from what other people have learned, heard, or even read about, such as in the book The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Not only do you see themes in books but also in newspaper articles, magazines, etc. A good example would be The Face of Modern Slavery by Nicholas D. Kristof, writer for the New York Times. No matter where the theme is, if it is in multiple pieces it holds great value. I believe that these pieces

In To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper uses the character of Atticus to explain that real courage derives from believing in good morals despite the criticisms of society. Atticus explains to Jem that Mrs. Dubose, despite judging Atticus’ decisions in defending Tom Robinson’s innocence, has just as much courage as him, and she passes away with no remorse or regret for the decisions she makes throughout her life, just as Atticus plans to do. Atticus makes this clear to Jem, “She had her own views about things, a lot different from mine, maybe… I wanted you to see what real courage is… It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what… According to her views, she dies beholden to nothing and

In To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee. All the characters show courage in their own way, but Atticus, Mrs. Dubose and Boo Radley showed the most courage that stood out in the book.

There is definitely a certain definition of courage that is brought to life through the book To Kill a Mockingbird. In this book there is three main characters that make that unique true to life definition absolutely stand out. These three characters are Jem, Atticus, and Tom Robinson. Through many of their own acts of courage they brought the definition to life throughout the book.

In this book courage mean you don’t need to have a gun with you to have courage that is not courage because you are trying to scare people when you have it with you. That is what I believe when Atticus says he want his son “to see the real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand”. (pg149) Scout is the best exemplify of courage to me because she is not afraid to say what is on her mind or to say no to people. She is like her father Atticus. She went with Jem and Dill to the Boo Radley house. Jem believe in Hot Stream that is like spirit or something with ghost.Scout said “I fairly sure that Boo Radley was inside the house, but i couldn’t prove it, and felt it best to keep my mouth shut or I would

helping her achieve heroic acts . 2 Meg is a young self-critical person that is constantly criticizing herself and being

Meg expresses herself carelessly when it comes to grades constantly, but is actually very smart. She was recently dropped to the lowest section of her grade, due to lack of effort. She also stands for what she believes in, and that's why she repetitively corrected her teacher. She's like a coconut, tough on the outside but sweet on the inside. She is fond of Charles, yet has trouble keeping up with him at times. Margret can also be described as respectful, but only towards her mother. Although, she is rated as maximum on the stubborn scale, she obeys Charles and her mother.

Wallace’s weakness was not listening the his men and believing the best in people. He should have learned from the first betrayal that he was riding into his

A theme in a literary text is connected to humanity. In the story The Blind Side, Michael Oher and his family display a theme throughout the story about giving Michael a life that he could of never dreamed of. Michael was a son of a single mom who was into drugs and he had a rough childhood until the mother gave up the rights to her son. The mother let son be adopted into a white rich family. From that point on, Michael had a whole new future with his new family.

Meg acts out differently than other people and students around her. She’s rebellious and stubborn. In her act of being rebellious and stubborn, her grades have dropped down to her lowest section. People are disappointed in Meg for acting the way she does and dropping her grades, yet she won’t change her actions. These are some of Margarets actions.

Meg acts like she is kind of sad. She misses her dad, a lot because she does not know where he went. She is very smart but she does not show it at school. She stands up for her brother, Charles Wallace, when he gets bullied at school. She helps her mom in every way possible if she has hope to find her dad.

Meg is a fighter and she sticks up for people. She is very down about herself sometimes. Meg is not a fan of school and she does not make very good grades. She does not like kids picking on her or her family. Meg likes to rough house a little bit too.

Meg in this book learns she has to do many things independently on quote to prove this is when Mrs. Whatsit explains her views of life she tells them “life, with its rules, its obligations, and its freedoms, is like a sonnet: You're given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself. - Mrs. Whatsit” (219). She is trying to explain there are many opportunities but you have to make a lot of your own decisions in life. Another time when recognizes she needs to think on her own is when Meg has to go Camazotz by herself. She became closest to her brother Charles Wallace since her father has been missing and relies on his help so she was surprised when Ms. Whatsit asks her “Do you have the courage to go alone?” (218). Meg then realizes what this means and understands she has to depend on herself. Her “voice was flat ‘No’. But it doesn’t matter.’” (218). Meg realizes she is willing to be strong and go but also knows she has to build up all of her courage to do it when she says “But it doesn’t matter.” (218 ) Meg knows has to at least try to help her little Brother Charles Wallace.
