How do Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace demonstrate teamwork, courage, and perseverance in A Wrinkle in Time?

The main characters in A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’engle display perseverance, team work, and courage throughout the novel. Most prominently, in the final confrontation with IT, Meg shows resolve and determination to get to her brother and show him she loves him deeply, because he has been mentally consumed by the monstrous hive mind. Calvin steps in as well, encouraging their connection. The three of them show unity in this moment and show courage in the face of certain death in order to overcome the consciousness. Earlier in the novel, the three characters decided to venture off into dimensions unknown, risking their lives but remaining together, primarily because Meg wanted to find her father so desperately. This display of solidarity shows their teamwork and their perseverance because the road to find him is certainly not easy nor safe.
