David’s Blog

 Today in class Mr.R said that we had to write a blog post about the questions: “What do you think that the main theme of this book is?”and “What was our overall impression of the book. What was the most memorable? The least? What did you like? Dislike?” Here is my blog post;

I think that the main theme of A Wrinkle In Time is Good vs. Evil. Even though I think “good” and “evil” are only perspectives. I think I’ll make a post about that later. I think this is the main/most important theme because in Meg’s, Calvin’s, Charles Wallaces’s, and many others’s opinion the “Black Thing” is “evil” and they are “good”. But in the Black thing’s perspective the people trying to fight it are “evil” and it, is “good”.

Another great example of this is The Lord Of The Rings. This is because Sauron is seen as very “evil” and corrupts everyone he meets. While on the other hand the Elves, Men, Dwarfs, Hobbits, ect… are “good”. But Sauron does the things he does for a reason. One, he was originally one of the, I belive it is 7, wizards, but he was thrown out for practising Necromancy. Sauron was very angry and left to Middle Earth even though the Eldar had told him not to quite forcefully. When he was there he killed Morgomir, the Dark Lord of the first age. Oh well, I could probably go on and on and on about this but I won’t. Well, I hope you get my point, my entire reason to telling you that story was so that you could better understand that everyone does everything for a reason.

My overall opinion of this book is, I mean I liked it but it was way too short. I mean, come on I have read comic books longer than that (for you saying, “yeah right,” it is actually true).   The most memorable part must have been when the chilldren flew up to see a small version of the Black Thing. This was etched into my mind because I liked how she described the Black Thing. Also, I liked the part that the children used flowers to get oxygen in that kind of altitude.  The least memorable must be… Wait a minute, how can I answer this question since the least memoriable I won’t remember since it is not memoriable.  I liked how she made up the Wrinkling process, and if it would actually work, it would be cool to just be able to step from one place to another without walking all the way over to the place that you wanted to get to.  As I said before I disliked how short the book is, but other than that I cannot find any other faults.

P.S. Here is a picture of the Dark Lord Sauron. Ok, the Eye Of Sauron.
