- are there any characters that you feel are similar to you?
- calvin. i just feel that i had to say that. i get the same feelings. i feel things before they happen and after they happen.
- by the end, did you feel like most of the mysteries were answered, or were you still confused?
- only some of the mysteries were answered. i still have questions about the black thing and about IT.
- speaking of IT - let's say for a moment that you were in the room with calvin, meg, charles wallace and mr. murry. how would you resist IT?
- i would say some of my weekly memory verses and sing some of the junior choir songs that i learned.
- would you trust mrs whatsit, mrs who and mrs which if you met them today?
- yes.
- if they were staying in charlottetown, where would they be?
- the holiday inn. they wouldn't even have to pay. they could just tesser into a room and everybody would suspect that they had already paid.
- why do you think meg and calvin are falling in love?
- because i just think it was meant to be. and i think mrs whatsit, mrs who and mrs which, since they are magical creatures, they just made it happen.
- dennys and sandy get left out of the whole adventure, seemingly because they do not have the special abilities that meg and charles wallace have. is this fair? would you have sent them?
- why were they even in the book if they didn't even go on any crazy adventure?????????????????????????????
- how do feel about the pictures? is there anything you would have drawn differently?
- meg looks too young for her age. and i think calvin should look more like me - just a teenage version of me.
- aunt beast thinks that vision, or the sense of sight, is very limiting. do you agree?
- i do not agree. i think vision is the most important sense of all. why would there be figurines, decorations or anything without vision. the world wouldn't be anything. everything would be grey and dark with no colour at all. you wouldn't even need colour. why would you even have a pet? if you don't have sight a pet is useless.
- pretend that i don't get the book at all. describe for me the man with red eyes. what is he? why is he important to the plot?
- his function is helping you understand that IT is very powerful. he is a zombie, basically, but he never died. he just doesn't have a brain.
- the book makes a big deal out of a verse in the bible that talks about God using the foolish and the weak things in the world to defeat the wise and powerful. does this happen in real life?
- yes. it does.
- would you recommend this book to others?
- i would recommend it to everybody in the whole world who likes mysterious, magical, serious books.
- do you think you will eventually read the novel, without the pictures?
- probably not. maybe when i am the kind of person that doesn't need any pictures anymore.
