What are vocabulary words for chapter 10 in A Wrinkle in Time?

This is an interesting question because usually instructors give particular lists of vocabulary words for the books that they teach; however, I am happy to suggest some vocabulary words that I use for this particular chapter. We will begin with the title of the chapter, "Absolute Zero," and continue with other vocabulary words.

This is an interesting question because usually instructors give particular lists of vocabulary words for the books that they teach; however, I am happy to suggest some vocabulary words that I use for this particular chapter. We will begin with the title of the chapter, "Absolute Zero," and continue with other vocabulary words.


"Absolute Zero" is the lowest possible temperature, where molecules are unable to move at all. Another vocabulary word from this chapter could be "consciousness," which is the state of being aware (and has to do with Meg coming back to awareness after being controlled by IT). Yet another word is "deliberately," which means consciously making an effort to do something (and has to do with Charles Wallace making that conscious decision to enter IT). A fourth word could be "straightforward," which means understandable (and has to do with a reference to our own time on earth). A fifth word could be "humbler," which means not proud (and has to do with Meg's father coming out of his experience being less prideful).


A sixth vocabulary word could be "paralyzed," which means completely unable to move (and has to do with how Meg can't move at one point after they find her father). A seventh word could be "faintly," which means hardly able to be heard (and has to do with Meg admitting that she feels frozen when paralyzed). An eighth word could be "fragrance," which means smell (and has to do with the way the gray planet smells like spring. A ninth word could be "teetered," which means going back and forth (and has to do with Meg going back and forth between love and hate for her father while she is still affected by IT. A final word could be "indentations," which means notches or shallow recesses (and has to do with the "eyes" of the creatures on the gray planet).
