Several key things happen to the children on the dark planet Camazotz, where Meg and Charles Wallace have gone to rescue their father, along with their friend Calvin. First, they recognize something is amiss when they see children all bouncing balls in exactly the same way at the same time, as if they are robotic. Later, they see a boy who failed to bounce his ball properly being tortured at the CENTRAL Central Intelligence Agency....
Several key things happen to the children on the dark planet Camazotz, where Meg and Charles Wallace have gone to rescue their father, along with their friend Calvin. First, they recognize something is amiss when they see children all bouncing balls in exactly the same way at the same time, as if they are robotic. Later, they see a boy who failed to bounce his ball properly being tortured at the CENTRAL Central Intelligence Agency. Another key event is Charles Wallace, because he has too much pride in his intelligence, having his mind taken over by IT. A significant point in the story occurs when the children find the father, Mr. Murry, encased in a glass tube or chamber. Meg is able to get into the chamber by putting on her glasses. Mr. Murry, Meg, and Charles Wallace are able to resist IT's attempts to brainwash and control them long enough to tesseract away from the planet. However, they have to leave Charles Wallace behind. Key events, in summary, are as follows:
- The children note it is creepy and conformist on the planet Camazotz.
- Charles Wallace's mind is taken over by IT.
- The children find Mr. Murry.
- Meg is able to get into the glass tube with Mr. Murry by putting on her glasses.
- Meg, Mr. Murray, and Calvin are able to escape the planet.
- Charles Wallace is left behind.
