Literary Analysis Of Ray Bradbury's All Summer In A Day

on the day the sun came out the kids laughed at her. They laughed at her when she said today was the day. After this they locked her in a closet because they were jealous. They surrounded her and shoved her into the closet and locked her in there until the sun went away for the next seven years. Margot’s classmates did mean things to her out of jealousy like locking her in a closet.

To begin, Margot is different from other “normal” people because she is antisocial. When all the other children are playing with each other, as the text states, “She would play no games with them in the underground city. If they tagged her and ran, she stood blinking after them and did not follow.” (Bradbury, 1954) This shows that Margot is too busy thinking about the sun to bother playing with the other children. She is the only child on Venus who has lived on Earth and seen the sun before moving to Venus. The others have lived on Venus all their lives, so Venus is the only world they’ve ever known. Margot is not used to rainy weather every day, so all she can

is different from the other children for several reasons, large and small. She compares the sun to a penny and fire from a stove because she remembers seeing it five years ago on Earth in Ohio, whereas the rest of the schoolchildren, who were born and raised on Venus, cannot recall the warmth and appearance of the sun. Margot does not play games such as tag with them in the underground tunnels or sing songs about happiness and life, but instead chooses to remain detached from the others and stay quiet. After her outburst in the showers that the water not touch her head, they understood that she was different and stayed away from

This again shows that her classmates denied her feelings and did not accept them, leading to them doing all of the harsh actions. Many of margot's classmates showed their negative feelings toward

All Summer In a Day, Ray Bradbury uses repetition, symbolism, and descriptive language to indicate how anxious the children are to leave Venus. Some of the essential examples of these author’s crafts are using the closet resemble Venus, using the sun to represent hope and giving the students character by using repetition. Throughout this short story the author shows in many different ways how using author's craft can result in creating a precise image of what he is describing.

    Margot gets treated cruelly by those in her class because they are envious of where she’s from and her knowledge, or experience. Margot is nine years old, living on the planet Venus, where she moved from Earth, when she was four years old. Margot is the only kid in her class the remembers the sun and this makes all the other kids envious of her because when the other kids saw the sun they were only two years old but Margot was four which makes them  jealous. When Margot was talking about the scientist predicting the sun would come out one of the boys said, “‘All a joke… let’s put her in a closet before the teacher comes back!’” (Bradbury 3). The  kids are so envious or jealous of Margot that they want to lock her in a closet, right before the sun is supposed to come out because they don’t believe it is. When the sun finally came out  the children rush outside to enjoy nature and the sun,

Another reason why the children discriminate Margot was that of jealousy spawned from her opportunities. “There was talk that her father and mother were taking her back to Earth next year ...They hated her pale snow face, her waiting silence, her thinness, and her possible future.” (Bradbury, 1954) This text shows how Margot is going to Earth because of her depression. Most important of all, it also shows the kids are jealous of how will she get to see the sun every day, while the rest of the kids are trapped in a raining forest, only to see the sun for two hours. They are jealous of how she is going to Earth because she misses the sun a lot while they don’t. Bradbury writes this piece of text to show why the children

In all summer in a day by Ray Bradbury shows the readers that honesty can lead too bullying. In the beginning of the story Margot created a poem that said “I think the sun is a flower that blooms for just one hour.” This poem reminded Margot of the sun when she lived on Earth and how much she misses Earth.

‘“It’s like a fire,’ she said, ‘In the stove’ ‘You’re lying, you don’t remember!’ cried the children. Margot is so sad unless she is talking about the sun but the kids don’t remember the sun and are jealous that she does. So they choose to just call her a liar and tell her she's wrong and that she doesn’t actually remember. They completely deny any chance that she could remember and know how the sun feels when they don’t. But Margot did remember and that's why she stood alone from the rest of them. This supports the thesis because Margot's experiences make the kids jealous so they call her a

Knowing that after seven years of darkness and rain, the sun would come out from its hidden space in the clouds, they lock Margot in a closet. She has obviously been waiting for the rare appearance of the sun on planet Venus, and her peers lock her away because they long to have their own experiences with the sun, since she has already gotten hers during her early years, which were spent on Earth. Only once they have seen the sun, themselves, do the other kids feel somewhat bad about what they have done. “Then one of them gave a little cry. ‘Margot...

Margot was born on earth so she was used to seeing the sun everyday. This is why the children are jealous of her seeing the sun. Now that she hasn’t seen the sun since 7 years ago she is gone into depression. Since the children now that she has seen the sun they bully her because they wish that they could see the sun everyday like Margot did when she lived

Finally, Margot is about to see the sun. All of her classmates are so excited because they’ve never seen the sun in their lives. It had been raining for 7 years, and that was just the way life was on Venus. While at school, the rain stopped, and Margot’s

Ray Bradbury’s short story, All Summer in A Day, is about hatred and its destruction. It informs the reader what can happen if the hatred is left unturned. In the short story, the people live on Venus, a cold, rainy planet. Venus only gets to see the sun once every seven years. Margot, a frail nine-year-old from Earth, had moved to Venus when she was four. She remembers how the sun looks, but the other kids in her grade won't believe her, and she gets bullied for it. They hate her because she doesn’t play with them, she rarely talks, and when she does, it's all about the sun.

After Margot finished reading her poem, the kids accused her of not writing her poem and they forced her into the closet. The students all were jealous of her experience with the

“I think the sun is a flower. That blooms for just one hour…” (Bradbury, 1954). In “All Summer in a Day”, by Ray Bradbury, humans have colonized Venus. But life is difficult. Forced to live underground by the endless thunderstorms, the rocket men and women only get to see the sun once every seven years. Among them is a young nine year-old girl named Margot. Having lived on Earth, unlike the other children, she remembers the sun and how it felt. However, she behaves like an outcast, and rumors of her being taken back to Earth fly through the underground civilization. In the story, the other students are cruel to her because of her memory of the sun. The civilians on Venus act harshly to Margot, and together their actions create an immeasurable amount of hatred for her. Bradbury’s wide variety of craft portrays this quite well. Through accusations, lack of authority, and craft the author uses, Margot undergoes a very hurtful experience during her time on Venus.
