The words “door” and “doors” occur 107 times across 26 chapters in Project Hail Mary.
In Earth sections, “door” occurs 31 times and ”doors” 5 times. It is only ever used by the narrator.
In Space sections, “door” occurs 62 times and ”doors” 9 times. Each form is used by Grace in direct speech 1 time and “doors” is used by Rocky 1 time.
Here’s a visualization of the relative frequencies across all sections and chapters of the book.
Each coloured bar represents a section and is colour-coded for Earth sections (green) and Space sections (purple).
The grey bars represent the chapters, which are marked with ticks and numbers.
The y-axis is the relative frequency, i.e. the proportion of tokens in that section (or chapter) that match “door” or “doors” (so a bar might be higher, even with fewer occurrences, if the section or chapter is shorter).
Are there any doors in here?
