An endoskeleton (from Ancient Greek meaning "inside", and meaning "skeleton") is a structural frame (skeleton)—usually composed of mineralized tissue—on the inside of an animal, overlaid by soft tissues.  Endoskeletons serve as structural support against gravity and mechanical loads, and provide anchoring attachment sites for skeletal muscles to transmit force and allow movements and locomotion.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoskeleton#   

An exoskeleton (from Ancient Greek  'outer' and  is a skeleton that is on the exterior of an animal in the form of hardened integument, which both supports the body's shape and protects the internal organs, in contrast to an internal endoskeleton (e.g. that of a human) which is enclosed underneath other soft tissues.  Some large, hard and non-flexible protective exoskeletons are known as shell or armour.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoskeleton   

Isaac Bashevis Singer was born Icek-Hersz Zynger on July 14, 1904, in Leoncin, Poland.  His father, Pinkhos Menakhem Zynger, was a rabbi, and his mother, Batsheve Zylberman Zynger, was the daughter of a rabbi.

Although he was briefly enrolled in a rabbinical seminary in Warsaw, Singer, like his older brother, novelist Israel Joshua Singer, turned his attention away from the religious culture of his family.  In 1923, he became a proofreader at the Yiddish literary journal Literarishe Bleter, co-founded and edited by his brother.  Singer's first published story, "In Old Age" ("Oyf der elter"), appeared in that journal in 1925 and won an award in its literary contest.  For the next decade, Singer continued to write short stories, articles, and reviews for the Yiddish and Hebrew press, but his primary income came from translations.  He had particular success with his Yiddish translations of novels by Erich Maria Remarque, Knut Hamsun, and Thomas Mann.

A Wrinkle in Time is a young adult science fantasy novel written by American author Madeleine L'Engle.  First published in 1962, the book won the Newbery Medal, the Sequoyah Book Award and the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award, and was runner-up for the Hans Christian Andersen Award.  The main characters–Meg Murry, Charles Wallace Murry, and Calvin O'Keefe–embark on a journey through space and time, from galaxy to galaxy, as they endeavor to rescue the Murrys' father and fight The Black Thing that has intruded into several worlds.  The novel offers a glimpse into the war between light and darkness, and good and evil, as the young characters mature into adolescents on their journey, and wrestles with questions of spirituality and purpose, as the characters are often thrown into conflicts of love, divinity, and goodness.  It is the first book in L'Engle's Time Quintet, which follows the Murry and O'Keefe families.  L'Engle modeled the Murry family on her own. B. E. Cullinan noted that L'Engle created characters who "share common joy with a mixed fantasy and science fiction setting".  The book has sold over ten million copies and inspired a 2003 television film directed by John Kent Harrison, and a 2018 theatrical film directed by Ava DuVernay, both produced by The Walt Disney Company.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Wrinkle_in_Time
