Well I have already read the book so I can't really "guess" since I know exactly what happens, but I personally love Meg. She is so awesome!!!! I mean sure she is a downer, but she is so smart. She is a new kind of different which makes her interesting. I also love the attraction between Calvin and her. They are not afraid to be themselves in front of each other. They are so cute holding hands, and Calvin protecting her. <3It makes me what to scream "AWWWW!!!!" I just love that they relationship, I mean friendship always lightens the mood and makes it also a modern fairy tale. So yup, I am enjoying this much more the second time.=)
ReplyDeleteFrom the beginning of the novel, I always have loved Charles Wallace. He gives a spice to the story, and he's not ordinary. He's proud of it as well, which strikes me as confident. He stole my heart from the beginning of the novel, and his intelligence is mind-boggling to me for a boy his age. :D
ReplyDeleteAs well as being quite charming, C.W. can contribute to the journey with Calvin and Meg with his bright mind and his ability to interact with others and think "outside the box".
I, in fact, do have a question that seems to be bugging me. It has to do with the Character Chart. Do we nessicarily have to include evidence for everything we write about the character? It may sound like a silly question, but it's been on my mind lately.
Great question about the characters chart. For additional comments, I would say your evidence does not need to be as thorough, but I'd still include a short phrase or something.
ReplyDeleteCharles Wallace is certainly unique and his qualities make him intriguing. I can't wait to see if his intelligence is a lifesaver for them, or turns into a liability!
The blossoming romance between Meg and Calvin is very sweet. It's innocent, but still adds another dimension to the tale. Who knows (well, perhaps you, Lacey!) what the future holds for them? Did you know that there are sequels to this novel?
Hehe yes I do know and sorry for going on this after the quiz I was done kinda quick and wanted to see the blog. I have heard about stories following it and know some things that happen in their romance. What is the next book?I would love to read it.
ReplyDeleteI have a question about the Character Chart. Since we are done reading chapters 1-6, should we/I start a whole new chart or continue it on the file we/I have saved?
ReplyDeleteI believe the next book is called A Wind at the Door. I have it available in my classroom library, but there are other titles, too.
ReplyDeleteAs for the char. chart, just continue with what you've done so far. The new characters are fairly infrequent at this point, and you just need an occasional update for the main trio. :)
Okay thank you
ReplyDeleteOne question, and one comment. Would IT be a character to be listed in the character chart? Also I told Meg and Calvin are sweet. They kissed and it totally sealed any doubt of just a crush.<3 Their love is my favorite part of this book. I am a sucker for a cute couple.=)
ReplyDeleteIT should definitely be listed on the chart. And yes, Meg and Calvin are very cute. You are absolutely right that their little smooch leaves little doubt that they are a couple! I admit I haven't read the later novels (though I've seen the "family tree) so I don't quite know how it develops, but I'm probably going to find out soon!
