Statement:
I think that L’Engle used too many coincidences to keep the plot moving- to the point where the story became unrealistic and unappealing. For example, Sandy and Rhea just happened to be detained, leaving Polly with an opportunity to meet Zachary; Renny is studying a very rare disease at a hospital close to Polly’s house, and Polly’s idol, Max, surprisingly has that disease. Things don’t fall into place that neatly in real life.

Question:
What does the Laughing Christ statue symbolize?
