All Summer Is A Day By Ray Bradbury

The Boys of Summer, a non-fiction book of baseball, written by Roger Kahn. Who tells a wonderful heart aching tale of a simple stick and ball game that helped start the development to push Americans (generally the white population at the time) to change what the country claims to be, a free and fair non-prejudice country that gives “everyone” their own rights/opportunities. Jackie Robinson, America’s first African American to play on a Major Baseball league. He was the first colored-skinned to ever make history not only in the game of baseball. Robinson ignited a spark that sent Americans (mostly the white population) dumbfounded, that a “nigga” a dark colored-skinned individual was more than just a janitor. This book transcends the generation gap as Kahn recaps his boyhood in Brooklyn, his young career as a writer following the Brooklyn Dodgers, and a follow-up of the certain members of the Brooklyn Dodgers during post-playing days. As Kahn nostalgically narrates his story of the transformation of the Brooklyn Dodgers, a dead team who came back to life to make a major impact on the country, to a becoming dead of the last time. Reveals the theme that race play a huge role on American’s reaction to the Brooklyn Dodger, Jackie Robinson, and the aftermath to letting a “Negro” into a white man sport.

From the beginning of the novel to the end of the novel, Margot didn’t change who she is. Margot moved to Venus from Earth at an older age than the rest of her classmates. She still remembered the sun; the other students didn’t because they moved to Venus when they were very young. “Margot stood apart from them, these children who could never remember a time when there wasn’t rain and rain and rain.”(Bradbury 1). This quote showed that Margot remembered a better time when there was sun and there wasn’t always rain. Margot didn't try to fit in; she always acted by what felt right, not how others thought she should act. Margot never talked and if she did, she was very quiet. Margot also didn’t play games or sing songs with her classmates. As a result of Margot’s differences, her classmates stayed away from her. They made fun of her. “...she sensed it, she was different, and they knew her difference and kept away.”(Bradbury 2). This quote proved that even Margot knew she was different, Margot also knew her classmates thought of her as weird; but she never stopped being herself, she never changed who she was. Margot realized she didn’t want to change her identity, and she shouldn’t have to, to fit

Do you know what it’s like to go through child starvation? In School’s Out for Summer by Anna Quindlen, she addresses the problem of child hunger in America. She believes that the people of America can make less fortunate people happier by giving back to them. It shouldn’t matter who you are, people should get the same treatment for themselves & their children. No child should have to wonder if they're going to eat at night.

Raymond Barrio and Steve Lawhead are both well-known poets, with varying styles. But are some of their works similar? The Plum Plum Pickers (RB) and The Sun Goes Down on Summer (SL) are two pieces that have been selected to be compared.

First, emotions used in the story to make readers feel emotions for the characters. The kids were driven by their emotions to do the things they did like bullying Margot. This was due to only Margot’s understanding of the sun and its beauty. As well as when the the author tells us about how Margot remembers the sun and its warmth. We know she cared deeply for the sun and getting off Venus was the only way how to.

Ray Bradbury in the story All Summer In A Day teaches the readers that we should be grateful

The author uses symbolism to demonstrate the jealousy of the other kids toward Margot. At one point the children are inclined to deny Margot's claim of remembering the sun. The children also push Margot into a closet for talking about the sun. The sun is being used to symbolise how emotions like jealousy can control someone’s actions. The author uses the sun to give support to jealousy’s power.

The setting plays a part in the story because all the kids in the school have always lived on Venus except Margot. Margot lived on Earth for 4 years. She was there long enough to remember the sun. The other kids were too young. All the kids do not like her for this reason.

This presents how separate Margot is and how her classmates recognize that and decide to keep away. This is bad because we are all different and our differences need to be recognized. I chose this quote because it empathises how much the children recognize Margot’s difference and think it is a bad thing. Finally, a fourth example of sameness and separation is, “They surged about her, caught her up and bore her, protesting, and then pleading, and then crying, back into a tunnel, a room, a closet, where they slammed and locker the door” (Bradbury).

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.

“All Summer in a Day”, by Ray Bradbury, has a theme of seperation. First, Margot has been seperated from the sun and her home of Earth (2). This means that she can remember her home, and yet her parents moved to Venus where there is no sun or any ability to play outside. Next, her seperation from the sun causes her to be a feeble child, looking like “the rain had washed out the blue from her eyes and red from her mouth and yellow from her hair” (2). Margot’s body is suffering because it isn’t getting sunlight, and you can see it on her face and in her eyes.

Akshara Hariharan Ray Bradbury’s sci-fi dystopian story, “All Summer in a Day,” takes place on Venus. On Venus, it almost constantly rains. The only time the people of Venus get to see the sun is every seven years. Margot had only come to Venus only five years ago from Earth. She desperately misses the sun and hopes that she has the opportunity to go back to Earth.

This story can move people to help realize that everyone has their good days and bad. Ray Bradbury explains the story of Margot in a foreign world where she does not fit in and shows how others see her as the outsider in a small

In life, it is always important to treat others the way you would want to be treated. Going along with treating others the way you want to be treated, think about how others may feel if something is getting done to them or before you say something. All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury uses symbolism, similes and repetition to show the desire of happiness from the children. In this story it's about a group of students who live on Venus. One of the students lived on Earth before she moved to Venus. On Venus the sun only comes out about every 7 years and the children are 9 years old in the story and don't remember what the sun last looked like, but Margot who came from Earth is used to seeing the sun every day. In the story when Margot tries to tell the other students about the sun they don't believe her.

“Look! That must be the new girl! I wonder if she's seen the sun! Is it pretty?! I've always wanted to know!” one of the girls exclaimed. This group of kids had been on Venus since they were two so they don’t remember seeing the sun. When Margot arrived, the children greeted her with a million questions like, “What’s the sun like,” “Is it bright?”, “What color is it” and many others.
