For instance, on page 58, Calvin said “‘You take it from there. That’s all I know.’ ‘That’s bout all I know, too,’ Meg said. ‘Maybe mother knows more. I don’t know. What he did was well, it was what they called Classified.” Meg don’t know that classified information on her father's mission had to be important. If it isn’t, her family can always contact him rather than not knowing. If her father is still on Earth, Meg’s mother should be able to know where he is.

Meg knows that in the planet camazotz, people will act very different than from Earth, but not like how they act in this mysterious planet.

The rhythm of the gesture never varied. The paper flew in identically the same arc at each doorway, landed in identically the same spot.

The woman went very white, opened her mouth as though to say something, then slammed the door in their faces instead.
