One of the most important settings in this story is Camazotz. When
they arrive at Camazotz, it looks like a bright town with small gray houses.
Perfectly normal right? That is until they realize all the kids are playing in
synch. In Camazotz, everyone is controlled by IT. If someone is not in
rhythm they get painfully re-processed by IT up in the base of Camazotz
called “Central Intelligence”. I think Meg grew significantly throughout
her journey. In my opinion, she learned to embrace her faults because
sometimes being different gives you an advantage. When she was
thinking about how to defeat IT she was thinking more of the differences
between her and IT other than just how could she physically beat IT.
In the beginning, she hated herself for being different and got into many
fights because of it. I think the author made “IT” a brain to symbolize
that sometimes too much knowledge can be bad. Mrs. Whatsit had
warned Charles Wallace that he was very bright to make sure he
doesn't start thinking he knows everything. Eventually, he ends up
being certain that all of his decisions are correct and he won't let anyone
tell him different. Then it gets to the point where his decisions get him
hypnotized by the man with red eyes and then captured by “IT”. I think
“It” symbolizes too much knowledge can hurt you.

I think there are many different themes to this story but the one that
stands out to me the most is don’t be afraid of being different because
everyone is different in their own way. In the beginning Meg was getting
into fights and getting angry that she didn't fit in with anyone. What's the
point in letting yourself, who you are get in the way of you being happy?
Throughout her journey, she learns to embrace how unique she is and
uses it to help her battle against “IT”. This theme spreads a great message
and I think that's what the author was trying to do.--Review by Aaron W.
