In the essay of “why summer makes us lazy “the author Maria Kournikova describe how people are more effective in the cold weather than when it is warm. To demonstrate the studies researchers assigned Harvard students data entry on wither sunny or rainy days. The students were randomly assigned to one of two conditions at the end of the experiment the researcher concluded that participants were less productive when it was sunny than when it was raining and cold. The energy and attention of people it is not the same in summer and in winter. People tend to think more critically in winter and do the work productively than when it is very hot because the body gets tired very easily. It has stated in the

Many centuries after the first spaceship landed on the moon, a group of brave rocket men and women did the unbelievable. The short story “All summer is a day”, by Ray Bradbury, takes place in the underground city of the planet Venus where tunnels roamed instead of streets. The land above them was submerged with endless pouring rain and deadly jungles. The sight of the sun was a rare miracle that only happened once every seven years. The children spent all their life in the enclosed underground tunnels, well all except for one. Margot was the only child who came to Venus when she was four, and the biggest difference was that she still remembered the times when the glowing sun gave warmth and hope.

The concept of realistic and fantastic elements is a concept that is unique to science fiction literature, and they help develop the theme of this specific story. A key realistic element introduced almost immediately is perhaps the most important detail. It is disguised because when one hears that “It had been raining for seven years,”(1) it is difficult to see the realism there, but when analyzed closer, the realism is evident. The rain is very ordinary and realistic; however, the duration of the rain is fantastic. The use of such an ordinary thing, present in every person’s life across the globe to some extent, creates an instant familiarity that helps the story have a foundation upon which to sit. With the realistic element, facilitating a base for the story, fantastic element provides the

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.

The short sci-fi story All Summer in A Day by Ray Bradbury is about being treated as an outcast and reveals the alienating effects that it may have. Sometimes this treatment is brought on by others. In this case, Margot is treated in this harsh manner because she isn’t the same as her classmates and they desire to have the life experiences that she has. Being outcast may not be the only main theme for this story in each reader’s mind. All Summer in A Day provides a multitude of possible themes. This may be the case, however, the children’s physical and emotional abuse of Margot is extreme and justifies this theme. As the time draws nearer for the sun to rise, Margot’s classmates become more brash and crue and at that moment, Margot is exponentially different from the other children in hr class. This concept of being outcast and

In the poem Summer Solstice, New York by Sharon Olds, we can identify from the title that author going to address something about long summer day because she used “Summer Solstice”. Moreover she put New York City next to it which is the busiest city in the United States. Olds started the poem by telling a story about, a man who is standing on top of the building and ready to commit suicide. As he standing on top of the building and looking down, he sees thousands of people walking, talking, and busy in their own world. Olds represent him as a person who is tired of his life, and duties. “By the end of the longest day of the year he could not stand it” (line 1). In next lines of poem author explains what cause him to commit suicide. May be because he thinks giving up with his life is easier instead of living in this world. But suicide is not always a solution to fix problems in world. The theme of this poem is prejudice, because author stated at first the man is committing suicide, but he didn’t commit suicide because police stops him and tell him the real beauty of this world.

There are many conditions that affect Margot, One of them is depression. Unlike the other kids, Margot moved to Venus 5 years ago. She remembers the sun. Studies have shown that people who live in places where the sun doesn’t shine for the better part of time can be depressed from Vitamin D or lack of the sun. This is what is happening to Margot. She used to be surrounded by the sun all the time after she moved, the amount of Vitamin D in her body became flat. This is illustrated in the excerpt, “ ‘Oh, it’s much better than the sun lamps, isn’t it?’”(Bradbury 1954) . This excerpt is exposing how they prevent depression in the kids. They use special lamps that imitate the sun. They

One of the points that is consistently brought up in Toni Morrison’s Paradise is that of the all black town “Ruby”. Paradise uses the setting of Oklahoma to discuss how many black towns are shaped by past history and religion. While the town in this novel is fictional, there have been real all black towns in the United States, and it seems that these towns influenced many aspects of the town Ruby, which is why it is so easy to imagine that the story could actually be real. Many authors have written in general about the novel, and specifically about the town within it.

Making a memorable mark. Sometimes, a persons main focus is on this single idea of fame. Of simply being remembered. Authors everywhere make attempts at this mark using a variety of literary devices to make their pieces stand out. The poet Robert Frost created many praised pieces, one of them being "The Road not Taken" published in 1916 - still used as an example of beautiful literature in todays world. John Steinbeck's The Pearl also left an impression on his readers, and still does, though the novella was only 90 pages. Ray Bradbury's "All Summer in a Day" has taught life lessons to readers around the world and continues to do so, even in his death. All three of these men used literary devices such as metaphor, simile, foreshadowing, imagery,

    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,

Racial prejudice is a pessimistic aspect of society that has critically affected many different people around the world. This idea is well demonstrated in Ray Bradbury’s short story “Way in the Middle of the Air”, which is part of The Martian Chronicles (1950). “Way in the Middle of the Air” displays a great amount of inequality and racism within America. This story focuses on the relations of the African-Americans and the white Americans in the South. The African-Americans, other known as “blackies” and “niggers” in the story, are tired of being belittled and treated unfairly by the

All Summer in A Day by Ray Bradbury is about how a little jealousy can turn into rage and reveals that children, along with adults, can be blinded by something so simple.The author of All Summer in A Day believes jealousy and bullying are the key emotions played in this short story. Bradbury claims that the main characters, Margot, is being bullied because she was Earth longer. Whereas, the other students don’t even remember Earth because of how early they all moved to Venus. When Margot arrives, she was four. The other children had arrived two years before. The author describes her as “a very frail girl who looked as if she had been lost in the rain for years and the rain washed out the blue from her eyes and the red from her mouth and the

Most of the science fiction works contain a crucial message that the writer wishes to convey to the viewers. There are two categories of film message, one is positive and the other is negative. A positive message is one that is expected to have favourable outcome to the audience, and continuously aiming to promote better societal changes. In contrast, a negative message is one that could deliver threats or unpleasant information to the audience, which could have significant impact on the normal order of the society. This essay will argue that if the message contains positive elements, then it is not a bad sign to embed science fiction works with a message. First, this essay will suggest that the well-integrated message within a particular
