pffft. I am the first to be interviewed. At least I'll get it over and done with quickly. Being last means having to wait in agony. I suppose.
The purpose of this post is solely to bump things down, and I hope it will serve its purpose by being empty, but full of purposeful space for my mighty Purpose. I don't like leaving empty spaces though; empty spaces on paper mean wasted paper-> unneccesary comsumption-> climate change. If everyone left a wee bit of empty space on their paper, one entire piece of paper will be wasted, and soon enough, millions, which will result in worldwide forest destruction. Empty spaces on a webpage, however, mean entirely different things, which will be discussed in later posts.

Meet the Austins by Madeline L'engle
This is more family centered than the Time Quartet*, and more suitable for younger readers. As an older reader with a more concrete mindset, and not the impressionable person I was, I approached this book with many paradigms. The Austins believe very much in God and His presence, and this plays a large part in keeping the family together. The theme of religion is more significant in this book than her others, perhaps because God played a large role in L'engle's life, and she wanted an opportunity to showcase this. [Meet the Austins] emphasises the importance of strong bonds between siblings, as well as the trust and respect for one's parents. When the book was written in the 1960s, the family unit was still significant in American history. This is before the advent of modern communications, as well as working parents and overscheduled children, bringing us to an era when peace within a family was more importance than the peace within oneself. An in-depth narrative of life at home, including details one can almost only experience first hand, suggests that L'engle grew up in this kind of family, and her family is part of who she is today. Comparing my life with Vickys', the protagonists' , Vicky, without the influence mass media has on us today, is more innocent, and has a firmer sense of belonging to her family and faith in her religion. However, the questions she has while growing up are not very different from mine, reminding us that self-doubt and a less definite view of the world are not only problems adolescents of today face.

I think my clauses are wrong.
