Nobody is perfect and makes mistakes. For an example when Meg first went to Camazotz, she was gifted with her own mistakes and in Chapter 7 (The man with Red eyes), Charles makes a mistake by thinking he alone can fight IT and save his father. This mistake also helps them find Mr. Murry. Mr. Murry also made a mistake by tessering into the Black Thing which caused them to stop at Ixchel where Meg realized she is loved and love is what Meg used to defeat IT.

Everybody makes mistakes and no one is perfect. When Meg went to Camazotz, she was gifted with her mistakes.

Saksham Consul on 3:43 pm said...

Meg learnt that uniqueness is alright as she used to feel that she was a genetic mistake. She also used to fight and was sent to the principal for her bad behavior. But when she goes to Camazotz and sees that all the people are the same she learns that being the same is not at all good.

Meg learnt that no one was perfect. When she went to Camazotz, she realised that being the same was not good and it was better to be unique. Charles Wallace made a mistake by thinking he could fight IT on his own, but although he was smart, he was hypnotised. MEg then saved him and Mr Murry.

Meadee on 7:16 pm said...

Meg learnt to be brave instead of always trying to grab someone's hand to hold. She learnt that being different is not as bad as how Camazotz was like. Perhaps she also learnt to believe in herself, that she would be able to rescue Charles Wallace from IT (the last part).

Meg learns that nobody is perfect. At Camazotz, she realises that it is better to be unique. Meg also learns that love is important. Though Charles is the smartest amongst all of them, he makes a mistake by thinking that he can fight IT himself. Meg ends up saving Charles with her love, which IT does not have, for him.

Meg learns that sometimes, do not treat your flaws or weaknesses as something wrong. Meg usually blames herself for her behavior and the things that she does wrong. I think one of the most important lessons she learns is to accept herself. She also gains self confidence and is not so pessimistic(i hope its the right spelling)anymore.

Goh Siau Chiak on 9:41 pm said...

She learns that nobody can be perfect. For an example, Charles thought that he could defeat the man with the red eyes in the CENTRAL central building alone. Another example is when Meg and friends (including the three Mrs Ws) tesseracted to see the happy medium, they almost landed on a two-dimensioned planet.

Sean Lee on 10:27 pm said...

I think that Meg learnt that she should have self confidence and not always blame on herself for every mistakes that she made. She also learnt that it would be much better to be unique, instead of being the same as being one particular person when she went to Camazotz.

Meg learns that nobody is perfect and she is not what she thinks of herself-a genetic mistake. In the land of Camazotz, she saw how people were dressed and played in the same way and she realised that being unique is better than being the same as others. She also learns that her faults are her blessings and not an obstacle.

1. Meg learns to be more brave as she finally has the courage to defeat IT and save her brother.

2. She understands that being different is still better than being the same like the people in Camazotz.

Keane (黄耀华) on 11:20 am said...

Meg learnt that no one is perfect and that uniqueness is not to be feared but instead something to be proud of and how boring life would be without it. She also learnt that her own shortcomings can help her. The journey through time has also boosted her self confidence.

gohyuting on 12:51 pm said...

Meg learns that nobody is perfect and that everybody makes mistakes. For example, Charles thought that he could defeat the man with red eyes alone. She has also learned to like and appreciate how unique and different everyone is on Earth after seeing how alike the people on Camazotz were.

?Dennis? on 1:46 pm said...

Meg learns that nobody is perfect. Like when she went to Camazotz, she realizes it better to be different and unique. Although Charles Wallace was the smartest amongst them, he still makes mistakes.

Meg learns that it does not matter if you are different as everybody is special in their own way. It also does not matter if you are popular as some ‘friends’ may not be true friends. She also learns that not everything she does is wrong as she was given her faults to use in Camazotz.

Jedi Ang on 3:23 pm said...

She learns that nobody is perfect and that everyone makes mistakes. CHarles also made a mistake by going into IT. Meg then saved him and Mr Murry.

Ryan Sam on 4:10 pm said...

Meg learnt that our world is in fact a very small world and the universe is so wide with so many planets and other beings (some friendly and others, not so). On Uriel, she learnt that you could breathe normally through a flower and she saw amazing creatures that 'sang'. Also, they learnt about The Black Thing. She realised that there was such a person named Jolly Medium and a evil brain called IT. There were also creatures with tentacles and they were quite friendly. Overall, she understood that the universe is a very big place with many, many planets and even more aliens.

Meg learns that she should not be too protective of Charles and to let go and allow him to make his own decisions(although he gets into more trouble, that is not the point). However, she also understands that people must also plan before they do anything. For example, she thought that once she found Father, everything would be alright, not even considering how to get out. She also gains self-confidence after helping save Charles and stop IT. She also learnt how to be broad minded as she managed to calm down after Father tessers himself, her and Calvin to Ixchel without Charles.

P.S. Background is too sweet for my taste. Put in some chilli/pepper.

Kingston=柯俊翔 on 8:20 pm said...

Meg learns that being perfect is impossible, everyone has flaws even if they appear perfect. Along the story everybody that Meg thought were perfect made mistakes so she came to accept that making mistakes was okay and it was what made everybody special. If everybody were to be perfect it just meant for all to be the same, none different from the other, like on Camazotz.

Heather on 11:12 am said...

She learns that there is nothing wrong with being special or different. Meg has learned that nobody is perfect and everyone has faults.She learns to accept herself the way she is, faults and all. She realises that her faults are actually blessings in disguise.

She also learns that being too protective over Charles is not a good thing either. She learns to let go and let Charles make some of his own decisions.

Teng Chun on 3:04 pm said...

Meg was actually gifted with her own mistakes, and she realised that everybody has their own mistakes She also learnt that everybody is unique and have their own personality

Charmaine on 3:39 pm said...

Meg learnt that everyone has their own gifts and talents and that she is not a biological mistake. She also learns that she should not blame others who have tried their best, like her father, when he tried to tesser them out of Camazotz. She also learnt how to control her temper.

Admiral Zee on 3:58 pm said...

Meg learns that being unique is okay and if everything is perfect and the same, like in Camazotz, life would not work out.Each of us has our flaws, and that is what makes us unique. Over time, these flaws may also become our strengths.

Joyce Yeo ~ 杨淑惠 on 12:17 pm said...

Everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect. When Meg went to Camazotz, Mrs Whatsit told her that she needed her mistakes to save her father and Meg realised it was true.

At first, Meg does not like to be different from other people but after she went to Camazotz, she realises that being different is ok and that being the same as other people is not always good. She also learns that she must not keep depending on her father to help beacause her father is just like another human and not as powerful as IT.

Ryan Sam on 4:13 pm said...

Too childish background, Mrs Simon.

Isabelle on 9:22 am said...

Meg learns that everyone is different and all human make mistakes and being the same as everyone else like the people in Camazotz is not as good as it seems.Meg also learns that she is loved and love is important as it helped Meg defeat IT and saved Charles Wallace.

Tim on 5:19 pm said...

Meg learned to be more brave and nobody is perfect.In the CENTRAL central building, Charles thought that he could defeat IT by himself. However, he was overconfident and got hypnotised by the man with red eyes but it was thanks to this mistake that Meg was able to save Charles and her father.

melnana on 6:20 pm said...

Meg learns that fitting in with the crowd is not all that important. In Camazotz, it was not a good thing at all. Being unique also has its benefits. She also realised that it was impossible to be perfect and everyone would make mistakes. At the end of the novel, she was also more brave and optimistic, especially since she had gone through so many difficulties. She also gained more self-confidence. Last but not least, she has learnt that her faults may not neccessarily be a bad thing. they even helped her to stand up against IT.

Meg learns to be more brave when she saved he father and then, Charles Wallace and understands that being different and unique is a good thing. Like what Mrs. Simon said,"It takes different kinds of people to make up this world".

Raeann Chou on 3:27 pm said...

i think Meg has learnt things like no one is perfect and that sometimes her mistakes are "good". She has also learnt that she is unique.

P.S Nice background, but sweets? cookies???

Meg learned that it was alright to be afraid. Meg also learnt that her mistakes are her gifts.

THE LEUNG_梁海鑫 on 3:56 pm said...

Add on. She also learned that she had other's love. She used this fact to defeat IT in the end.

Joshua G. on 4:13 pm said...

Meg learnt that no can be perfect and that it is alright for people to be unique. She also learnt not to be protective.

Joshua G. on 4:40 pm said...

Add on: Charles presumed that he could defeat the man with the red eyes in the CENTRAL central building all alone with no help.

Shao Yu on 5:53 pm said...

Meg learnt that being different from the rest is not exactly a bad thing and everyone, just like her, makes mistakes. She also learnt to have self-esteem, not be too protective or 'bossy' over Charles Wallace and the meaning of love.

Joshua T. on 6:54 pm said...

She learns that nobody is perfect and does not make mistakes. An example is when Meg, Charles Wallace and Calvin were accidentally tessered to a 2-D planet by the three Mrs Ws. She also learns to love, which saves Charles Wallace from IT in the end. She also finds out that she is loved.


P.S. Why is the wallpaper covered with cakes?

Joshua Thambiah, you posted twice. Identical.

Ryan Sam on 8:21 pm said...

Raeann Chou you posted twice. Identical.

Unknown... on 8:33 pm said...

She learnt that no one is absolutely perfect and that everyone does make mistakes once in a while. Even Charles, as intelligent as he is, he still made the mistake of being proud. He thought he could find out who the man with the red eyes was, but instead, he ended up getting hyptnotised. Sometimes, mistakes and your own personality is good. Strange, but true. Meg, as hot tempered and impatient as she is, she still used that to 'conquer' her 'task'. Everyone's personality is special and is (Normally) never identical to another person's. We have to be happy with who we are and not try to change it. Being same as everyone is not only very restricting but also quite boring.

Meg learnt that nobody does not make mistakes. She learnt to appreciate her own uniqueness and ignore other people's negative comments about her. She realized she really loved her brother, Charles.
