What does Charles mean when he says, “Father is a misconception”?

• Nothing because ever since he got hypnotized he's been saying random things that don't mean anything.

• On Camazotz, family and human connection don't exist.

• He's talking about Calvin's dad who is missing.

Where do the kids find Father? Why is he there?

• In a swimming pool because he likes water.

• Trapped, floating in some kind of cage because he violated rules in Camazotz.

• In a science lab because he is a scientist doing government research.

Meg and Calvin say it’s good to be “different” - being different from other people is what makes you you. Charles says differences just cause problems. Who do you agree with more? Why? Give examples that support your thinking.
