On first sight, Calvin O'Keefe might not seem to have much in common with Meg and Charles Wallace. After all, he's in the popular crowd, on the basketball team, and so good in school he's skipped a couple of grades. Despite his outward success at all the things that Meg fails at and Charles Wallace cares little about, Calvin considers himself a "sport" an odd man out. While Meg and Charles Wallace are misunderstood by their community at large, it's his own family

They fly over a garden “more beautiful than anything in a dream” that is filled with creatures like the one Mrs. Whatsit had become. They are singing, but not from their throats - rather from their wings. Though Meg cannot understand the music, Mrs. Whatsit implores Charles Wallace to translate it. On Charles Wallace’s face, Meg can see the look of someone trying to wrap their minds around a great puzzle. Mrs. Whatsit soon translates it, and the words begin with “Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein....” Meg feels a “pulse of joy” at these words, though Mrs. Whatsit sighs with a “whisper of doubt.”

    The relationship between Calvin and Meg was shown to be stronger than expected when nearing the end of chapter 13 when Calvin kisses Meg when saying her goodbyes before she returned to Camazotz alone. As said on page 97, “Calvin came to her and took her hand, then drew her to him and kissed her. He didn’t say anything, and he turned away before he had a chance to see the surprised happiness that brightened her eyes.” There was also a moment of foreshadowing in the beginning of this book when Meg talks to Calvin about her feeling with her dad gone and he complimented her eyes in a way that seemed a bit more than friendly. These details were not included in the movie as Meg and Calvin hugged near the end of the movie, but no more, as he left to his house.…

    In the discombobulation of day to day life, all types of people are going to try to knock you down. This hardship was experienced personally by Brenda Roza as she realized that “there may not be that person next to you that's going to speak up for you”. There is no reason for strangers being malicious, to try to knock other people down when they’re not even known to you. Regardless, it is imperative that you are able to defend yourself- just as Brenda Roza did. Having been told throughout her entire life that she couldn’t do certain things, Brenda thought that that being a successful person might be beyond reach to her - impossible.…

    During the eighteen years I have lived my experiences have been fairly sheltered. I have never traveled out of the country, eaten exotic foods, or gone skydiving; consequently, I haven’t met many people of special interest. Not to say the people I have met are not interesting, on the contrary, most of the people I have come to know all have their own unique stories and experiences; however, I never did meet anyone quite like Miss May. To this day I can’t pinpoint what exactly it was about her that intrigued me so much, maybe it was her rich brown hair and almond-shaped eyes, or how she pronounced candy more like “kehn-dee”, or it definitely could have been the way her eyes lit up when she smiled—still she will always remain a mystery to me.…

    Whenever one is startled, or caught off-guard, the innate human response is to either flee or fight. Most human brains are wired to run from danger. This runs parallel to when humans are faced with a problem or a difficult situation. Many individuals would rather run away from problems than work at resolving them. The novel “Things That Fly” by Douglas Coupland conveys the themes of Escape as well as The Human Condition in his short story by utilizing the symbols of Superman, the narrator’s messy apartment, and birds’ ability to fly.…

    In “A Simple Heart,” Flaubert brings to the reader attention to the French middle class since the very first sentence, and the whole novel revolves around the conflict between social classes, to the final resolution: the death. Although Flaubert 's principal character belongs to a low class whereas the central figure in Tolstoy 's "The Death of Ivan Ilych" is a member of the Russian aristocracy, they share the same social context, yet a different point of view due to the unique personality of the authors. Nevertheless, the quest for the meaning of life and death, and the transience of the human being appertaining to the bourgeois context of the times are themes shared in both works. Flaubert, introverted, melancholy, full of himself, and verbose,…
