* OtherworldlyVisitsYoungestFirst: Just like in ''Wrinkle,'' Charles Wallace is the first one to encounter the supernatural. He glimpses Proginoskes from a distance and thinks he's seeing dragons in the vegetable garden.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The main conflict in the mitochondrion, between the nihilistic, individualistic, skeptical younger generation, who wants to overthrow the time-honored traditions, and who refuse to grow up, and the older generation, whose devotion to invisible truths and time-honored traditions is necessary for the continuation of their world. Given that this book was written in 1973, it sounds like this may be the author's view of TheSixties. On the other hand, Meg recalls a conversation between her parents where they lament how humanity's insatiable desire for progress and technology has resulted in a world of pollution and violence, and the farandolae must be taught to listen to the music of the body they live in in order to reach harmony. This sounds more like the counterculture's desire for environmentalism, simple living, and mysticism.

Given that this book was written in 1973, it sounds like this may be the author's view of TheSixties, and an attempt to thread the needle by condemning the worst impulses of both the counterculture and establishment viewpoints while promoting their virtues, just as ''A Wrinkle in Time'' freely condemned both the small-minded conformist conservatism of American society and the monstrous abuses of state power by the Soviet government in TheFifties.

* BigGood: Blajeny fills this role for the most part, but both he and Proginoskes allude to an ultimate BigGood - {{God}}.
