Wrinkle in Time Group 5 discussion

Write about general, weird, funny, or any other observations you made while reading "A Wrinkle in Time".

Something I found interesting was how Mrs, Who seems to have a habitat of speaking her ideas in another language and then actually portraying them in English.

Thats because she has trouble expressing her feelings, so she uses quotes to help her.

I would just like to share that if you have to Goodreads app you can scan the book you are reading and add it to your "currently reading" list after scanning it. Technology these days...

What do you mean? By the way, I've used Google translate to find out what she is actually saying and the author did not copy word for word particularly the one that I chose to test.

Yes, and it puzzles me that she can find quotes to express her feelings but she can't do it in simple words.

It was creative of the author to make Calvin say: ""Mrs. Whatsit & Co."". (L'Engle 172)

I laughed at that too!

I just thought it was clever that since Calvin would be saying Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which so many times , the author thought of different ways to show was he was saying. On the same page I think I saw something that said the "three W's".

Yeah I am pretty sure I saw him say to Meg: ""Does he know about the three Ws?""
