A Wrinkle in Time
In chapter 1, Meg tells her kitten, “Just be glad you’re a kitten and not a monster like me.” Later, she tells her mother, “I hate being an oddball.” Have you ever felt like a monster or an oddball? When and why? How did you handle your feelings?

Yes I felt like a total odball back in 3rd grade. All the boys collected and played video games for Wii, or PS3, or even Xbox. I on the other hand collected retro games from my parents childhood. The kids called me wierd and that I should throw it all out. I urged them to give the games a try, they finally did and I became a ”technically normal” kid.

Yes! Personally, I think everybody has. When I dance everybody thinks it is strange (oddball) because it is not common. Also in the PC class (big kid irish dance class) I feel really small and I don’t know anybody. At the beginning of school last year I didn’t know any 3rd graders. Then I met the 3rd grade girls and they’re actually really nice! I’ve probably hurt someone’s feelings on accident but I don’t know.

I have felt like both an oddball and a monster before. Once I yelled at my godparents daughter when she was about six and it made her cry which made me feel monsterous for a very long time.
Sometimes I feel like an oddball if I go to a camp or something where I’ll be in a group with lots of people that I don’t know. Eventually I’ll get to know the people I’m with but at first it makes me really uncomforatable.
These are the times that have made me feel both like an oddball and a monster.
P.S. Please do not post

well… oh in kindergarden I felt like an oddball because if I said something everyone would look at me like what the heck is wrong with this kid. I think they just thought that I was some monster that would bite your leg of if you touched me or something.Well of coures I had my friend Sam that told everybody that I was just like them so then they started thinking Sam was a monster. Actually I kindove liked it because outside we were all alone so we could do pretty much everything we wanted because everybody was at least 20 feet away but then again if Sam was sick Iwould be all alone.

ONCE I felt like an oddball. I was with some neighbor kids. They all knew each other from school. But I didn’t go to their school. The only neighbor I knew was Zach. I have known Zach since I was one.I had never met the other two girls and one boy.It really made me feel like an oddball.

I have felt like an oddball a few times. When I was in 2nd Grade some of my best friends left me out at recess. Also when I have to wear a fancy outfit or I wear mismatched clothes. But I have never felt like a monster though.

Yes,I have felt like this before.I felt like this last year in 2nd grade because all of my classmates called me weird,but I’ve learned to embrace being different.I handled these feelings by talking to my administartors and they all told me that it is good to be different.
