  1. What I think "IT" is is the darkness. To further more explain, the darkness can be a part of Meg's past. Also, I think Meg is afraid of "IT" because of what it might hold.

  2. 3)I don't think "It" is nor a person or thing. I say this because of the things people say it can do.

  3. I disagree and agree with Gaquise because, if "It" is trying to make everything right, how could it be something so secretive such as the darkness. But, then again maybe it is the darkness because even though "It" wants to make everything the same so that nothing is confusing, "It" is hypnotizing people without their permition. So maybe "It" is the darkness or because "It" is trying to change what makes people unique, "It" is attracting the darkness.

  8. 2.Camazots make sure that no one suffers by taking their feelings and emotions. The people on Camazots could be brain washed or could be conrolled by IT.

  9. I agree with Nigel, I think Meg does need to have more faith in Charles Wallace because he is capable of figuring things out. Meg needs to trust him and let him use his talents.

  10. I agree with Nakeya. I could've been a little more specific. But, "IT" seems to be sounding like its trying to do a little more that helping everyone, because in some ways "IT" is the darkness due to some mysterious ways "IT" is being recognized.

  11. 2. They make sure no one suffers in Camazots because by having no emotion or feeling. I agree with Kai about the people being brainwashed. But I think that she could've explained what "IT" is. I don't believe that it is the darkness has Gaquise said. I think that "IT" is a higher being that controls everyone. The "IT" is neither man nor animal but somewhat of a mixture of everything.

  12. I disagree with both Nigel and Kai because Ms. Whatsit told all three of the children that Charles's powers are special, but she also told them that depending on how Charles thinks he can handle the situatuin, things can get out of hand. So maybe it is hard for Meg to trust Charles if she knows that something dangerous could happen to them. I personally think she's just trying to be protective.

    1. Meg thinks Charles Wallace was taken away. She thinks the man has possesed him. I think Charles Wallace's soul has been taken away from the man. I think he is no longer Charles Wallace. He is an emty doll like Meg said he was.

    I agree with Nigel about what he thinks "IT" is. I think it is a monster in the form of a locked darkeness.

    3. I think "IT" is a dark force that can tell people what to do ,can brain wash people , and
    can make meg do something she wouldn`t do .

    ReplyDelete
  16. I think "IT"is a dark spirit that was forced into that form and that meg did something to "IT" to make it that way thats why shes scared

    ReplyDelete
  17. I agree with Michael in saying it is a dark and evil force

    ReplyDelete
  18. In Camazotz they make sure no one has problems by brain washing them so there wouldn't be chaos. Also I think they are doing because the people who control the citizens don't won't them to be happy nor learn from their mistakes.

  19. I have a comment. Don't you think Meg father is fighting IT or the man that brainwashed Charles Wallace?

    ReplyDelete
  20. 1) I agree with Amari that Meg thinks that Charles Wallace was taken away, and his soul was taken away from this man.
    2)I agree with Kai Camazots make sure no one suffers by taking away feelings and emotions, and also maybe brain washed by "IT"

  21. 3. I agree with Nigel that IT is some type of monster because it sounds like it is doing bad things, and is maybe evil.

  22. Amber G.

    1.Megg believes that Charles Wallace soul was taken away by some unknown man.

    3. I believe "IT" is an evil force, darkness, or maybe Megg's fears about her father.

  23. I think Meg might have a dark side to her life that is nit stated in the chapter. I would have to agree with Gaquise on this question for desribing "IT". You never know what might happen with Meg at the end of the book.

    ReplyDelete
  24. What do you guys think will happen at the end of this book with Meg and why?

  25. Karion Vaughn

    3. I think "It" is the darkness and the bad things that have happened in Meg's life.

  26. Karion Vaughn

    I agree with Gaquise but, I see what Nakeya is coming from. How can something so devestating and dark be trying to help.

  27. Michael Crockett

    I think that "IT" is not a thing or sonething, but a dark force.It travels through you. A force can do that, but a thing can not.

  28. Michael Crockett

    I think that everyone would be OK at the end of the book, but some of the darkness would still be alive to answer Abi's question. But do you agree with me.

  29. Imani Duhe'

    I agree with Nigel and Sydney and the rest of the people who agreed because if it has had so many peeople to go there and try to stop it, it really must be evil.

  30. Imani Duhe

    I believe that the darkness is an evilness that you can feel and see, but can't touch, smell, or taste. It's something that is so evil some of its darkness traveled to Earth making some of its citizens bad.

  31. Amber G.

    Iagree with Kai Megg must have more confidence in Charles Wallace. She might need his smarts to help fin her dad.

    ReplyDelete
  32. 3. I think "IT" is the darkness and is trying to brainwash them. I also agree with Karion that it is all the bad things that have happened in Meg's life.

    ReplyDelete
  33. To answer Abi's question I think at the end of the book I think they will have found Meg's father and that everyone will be happy. Also I think that at the end everything will be in place for Meg.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think "IT" is a person who likes control and power. "IT" probably is probably a person who wants to own people and take the things they were created with away.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I agree with Mike M. that "IT" is a dark force who wants control and to brainwash people.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I think they made sure no one suffered on camotz by brain washing everyone of theirt emotions and feelings. I also think this practice is bad because they won't have a personality and they won't be able to feel anything. I think emotions are a very important part of all people.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I also think that it is some type of crazy monster or spirit because in the story,it seems very bad and evil.

    3. I agree with Michael m that the It is a some sort of a dark force that can get Meg to do something she thinks is not right and sort of Brain Wash her.

  40. I think IT is a very evil force and agree with every that says it is because usual names or titles unknown are evil or oddly suspicious.

  41. I agree with Abi because if someone gets shot, you won't feel it, and once you bleed enough, you might drop dead.
