appearances, and other unique qualities.
Activity #2: (WRITING/ART) Create an inter-galactic travel brochure that
describes one of Meg, Charles and Calvin's destinations in the novel (Uriel,

placed and designed illustrations.

by the Black Thing - a negative supernatural force. In a short paper, examine
a problem you think Earth has that might be related to this negative force.
