Why did Madeline L'Engle write A Wrinkle in Time? What big ideas does she want you to think about as you read? Explain your answer.


I think Madeline L’engle wrote a wrinkle in time because she wanted to say what equality would be. I think she is probably against communism because she doesn’t like equality. She really must want to let us know about equality. She probably thinks a lot about the future and is worried about our future. She must be a logical person

Hello this is tippy and this is why I think Madeline L' Engle wrote this fabulous book (A Wrinkle In Time). She wanted to show the true meaning and greatness of tessering and wrinkling time. This book is very complicated but at the same time, it can be a really good book to read. Now even though this book isn't all about tessering, it's really the main thing I think because at the end of the book it hows the true factual story behind the fanasty. Now that was tippy with the best and longest/first blog of the day.

I think Madeline L’Engle wrote this book to show what she thinks about space and time traveling. She wants you to think about what people think about when they tesser . Also like when Aunt Beast says what would you do to an alien if he came to your world. And Calvin answers shoot him it makes you think about other places and what they would do to you.

I think she wrote the book because she wanted to write a fantasy book about the future. Because back in 1962, they haddent even invented the computer. So Fantasising abot traveling trough space wasn't even heard of. Well, we thought of it but we didn't actually go to space until 1969. So to my guess, some people might have thought she was insaine.

I think M E wrote the book because that sometimes being equal can be a bad thing. She wants you to think about if everyone was equal the world would suck and its good to be different. She wants you to like being different from other people even if its in a weird way. I think this because when they walk in to Camoztz everyone is the same. She says they all bounced it in rythem and if you didn't you where beaten. She said that because she doesn't want our world to think being alike is good and overexagerate that like it was in the book. Also because if we all were the same life would be boring and terrible. It wouldn't be a free world (or country). This is Peter Condie having the longest and coolest blog that is different from everyone elses!

I think she wrote it because she had a great idea in her head and she wanted to make a book. That is what I would do if I had an idea for a book. That is how some books are made I think. I don’t think it was because she wanted to express her self.

I think L’Engle wrote the book to interest people in what the future will bring to us and what will become of space travel in the future. Then she might want us to know what to except that she wants to inform us that we should make ever one fell like an equal. Then she wrote it because she wants to set the setting in what will happen to the earth and find new life form.

I think Madeline L'Engle wrote the book because she really wants to know what the future would be like. I think that she wants you to think about how life would be like in the future and how to tesser time. I also think back when she wrote the book they didnt have many inventions out so she probably liked thinking of new inventions in the future. I also think she wants you to think why tessering is important because sheis probably really into science fiction. She probably doesnt like equality like jordan said.

She wrote a Wrinkle In Time because she wanted to make money. Well there is a lot I learned though, like well family is very important and you should give love to all of them. I think Meg had to be very brave because she went to the 5th dimension just to find her father.

I think she wrote "a Wrinkle in time because she likes to write. She wants us to think about love and equality. She wants us to think about that because she talks about them a lot.

Well, she must have been thinking of too much equality. Like Jordan said, she may be against communism. L'Engle might also think that freaky red eyed people and giant dis-imboddied brains will take us over and make us equal. We shouldn't all be equal, what we are great at is our talents. She may also think life is out in space besides us.

I think she wrote a Wrinkle in time because when we read this book thats how she thought thats what the future would look like. She wants us to think that even if we think no one loves there will always be someone that loves you. Thats what I think about the question.

I think she wrote the book because she wanted to show people Sci-Fi before Sci-Fi. She wants you to think about different solar systems and ideas. She wanted to do this because when she wrote this book it was before space travel.
