PLEASE HELP I'LL GIVE THE FIRST PERSON TO ANSWER BRAINLIEST!
Read the excerpt from Chapter 7 of A Wrinkle in Time.
In this scene, the children enter the enormous machine room where the man with the red eyes is waiting for them.
Charles Wallace said suddenly, and his voice held panic, "Don't let go my hands! Hold me tight! He's trying to get at me!"
“Who?” Meg squeaked.
“I don’t know. But he’s trying to get at me! I can feel him!”
“Let’s go back.” Calvin started to pull away.
“No,” Charles Wallace said. “I have to go on. We have to make decisions, and we can’t make them if they are based on fear.” His voice sounded old and strange and remote. Meg, clasping his small hand tightly, could feel it sweating in hers.
As they approached the end of the room their steps slowed. Before them was a platform. On the platform was a chair, and on the chair was a man.
