A Wrinkle In Time is an example of great American literature. It is a plot-based novel with something always happening while an obstacle is standing in the way. Most of the conflict occurring in this book is person versus self and person versus supernatural. A certain aspect that is very prevalent in this book is love. This love takes the characters on the trip of a lifetime, for the sole purpose of finding her father. This love in the background is not known by the reader until the last few pages, and ends up encompassing and explaining the whole novel.

Mary is the next character that is introduced to the reader, and she is a very large part of the story. One day while Mary is at the beach a body washes up on the shore with many cabbages, kettles, and barrels of whiskey. She drags the body to the shore where she lies in the man's arms until he dies. This man was believed to have been from an "other world" and this had a big effect on Mary. She falls in love with this sailor, even though he is dead, and it casts a sort of spell on her. Mary is known to the rest of the village as "away" which means she is enchanted by this other world, the world of the sea. She felt as though her spirit were not in her humanly body anymore, and did not even consider herself Mary anymore. The spirits of the lake had given her a new name, Moira, and that is what she preferred to call herself. The villagers had no hope for, except for Father Quinn.
Sabrina, Daphne and Puck were sitting on the floor of the living room in Granny’s house, where Sabrina and Daphne’s parents had left them for a short trip involving their mother’s sister in Australia. Granny and Mr. Clay had left them alone in the house for a while to get grocery’s (and a lot of water bottles).They were reading the old journals, trying to find any new information about Everafters and writing every new find in their own journals, sweating rivers of liquid, as the day was amazingly hot, breaking the 4 year heat record in Ferryport Landing. No one really wanted to do much except lie down on the couch with a lot of paper fans and water. Sabrina had been leafing through Jacob Grimm II’s journal, sighing as she put the book down for the eleventh time, as Puck had gulped down all of the water in one gulp and was rudely demanding more.
Twice towards the beginning of the book Meg displays her deep worry about her appearance and her family’s appearance because she does not want to feel embarrassed. Meg displays her obsession with looks when she says, “‘You must sit still all you can and keep your back out of sight. The front is all right. I shall have a new ribbon for my hair, and Marmee will lend me her little pearl pin, and my new slippers are lovely, and my gloves will do, though they aren't as nice as I'd like’” (Chapter 3, Alcott). Also, she portrays her fear and hatred of embarrassment in the statement, “‘You must have gloves, or I won't go,’ cried Meg decidedly. ‘Gloves are more important than anything else. You can't dance without them, and if you don't I should be so mortified.’” (Chapter 3, Alcott). As the first part of the story wrap up, Meg begins to respect the more important things in life. A major turning point in her attitude and when I believe she changed from vain, menial girl into a strong and happy woman occurred when Aunt March threatened her if she married a poor man like Mr. Brooke and she responds by saying, “‘I shall marry whom I please, Aunt March, and you can leave your money to anyone you like,’” (Chapter 23, Alcott). By retaliating against Aunt March and saying she would rather happiness than money, she illustrates the transformation that took place over the first part of the book.
