Here is what I have done!

Main points of my speech:

The reason why charles went into IT was because he had a clear view of what the mission's aim, which is to rescue their father, and he was the only suitable one among the three children to go into IT. The situation was like this: Either the group moves on and tries to finish the mission, or they get stuck in Camazotz, or, if they are lucky enough, they get back back to Earth empty handed (page 121).

Rebuttals:

Although he didn't listen to Meg, Calvin agreed that Charles should go into IT, he went in with the hope of being able to save his father. Also, the Man with Red Eyes tricked Charles into going into IT. Furthermore, his father would have given up fighting against IT if they had come any later and the result would be even more disastrous. Although he caused the group trouble, it was already expected, because the group already knows the the journey wouldn't be a smooth one even before the journey had begun.
