Essay task
In A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L'Engle explores the idea that love is stronger than conformity, control, and evil. Using specific examples from the book, write a well-organized essay arguing how Meg Murry's love for her family — especially her father and Charles Wallace — ultimately serves as the key weapon against the forces of IT and Camazotz. In your essay, examine how L'Engle develops characters, presents conflict, and conveys themes to back up this argument, and analyze what the novel reveals about the connection between individuality, vulnerability, and the power of love.
