Meg's Character In A Wrinkle In. Time

Have you ever heard of a tesseract? Well Meg and Charles Wallace didn’t hear
about one either until a strange women came to their door. Their curiosity brought them
to find the old lady and learn about what it was. Meg the protagonist in “A Wrinkle in
TIme” learns to not rely on other people for things that she needs to do. Now, knowing
this it leads her to save Charles Wallace from IT. Meg has changed from a girl who
thought very little of herself, to a strong girl that knows she can save her brother. Unlike most people, Meg is a very unique person and she has many different
