Loneliness In The Story 'All Summer In A Day'

The children are painfully jealous of Margot, therefore, hurting her because of their own pain. Since Margot was different than the others and stood apart, one of her classmates shoved her and mocked her while she looked out at the rain. Margot didn’t respond to any of this jealousy, as it says in the text “But she did not move; rather she let herself be moved only by him and nothing else.” The kids kept mocking, shoving and yelling at Margot because she thought that the sun would come out. The problem progressed so much that the children grabbed Margot and locked her in the closet so she wouldn’t see the sun that just came out in seven years. That sentence in the text was “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 locked the door.” This shows how mean her classmates were, they knew that

The kids in Magots class criticized her of her work and denied her knowing about the sun. When Margot wrote a poem about the sun her classmates her classmates didn’t believe she wrote it. A kid yelled at her stating she didn’t write it even when she did. Further when Margot described the sun no one believed her there either.

The short story All Summer in A Day, by Ray Bradbury is about the power of jealousy and demonstrates if jealousy is not controlled, it will lead to regretful actions upon yourself. Jealousy is a key topic in the story, and in my opinion, is the main topic of the story. Although, there are other key topics in the story. All Summer in A Day is about a group of kids, who all their lives have been living in a world, Venus, with no sun and the constant sound of rain. Then there is Margot. Margot knows what it is like to have the sun shining down on her skin, she knows what it is like to feel the warm embrace of the sky. For the first time in seven years the sun is going to come out and everybody is extremely anxious and excited. The other kids are

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

Not only did they exclude her but they also hater her for her differences, for the absence of colour on “…her pale snow face, her waiting silence, her thinness and her possible future.” They acted on this hate and “…put her in a closet…” and caused her to miss the sun coming out. They excluded her from all the fun they had in the sun but more than that, they made her miss the event she had been looking forward to since she came to this planet five years ago. By showing us this, Ray Bradbury successfully explains to us how Margot is different from the rest of the children in the way she acts and because of this difference she is ostracised and hated.

“All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury demonstrates that jealousy causes Margot’s classmates to be blinded by jealousy and selfishness demonstrated through how they cruelly challenged her, tormented her for her differences, and finally locking her in a dark closet whilst they enjoyed the sun. In Margot's third grade class, she composed a small poem about the sun, describing its allure and warmth. She says the sun is like a flower, which only blooms for an hour. But a boy named William, jeers at her about her poem.

    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,

One reason Margot has trouble living on Venus because she is from Earth. In paragraph thirty we are told she hasn't seen the sun since she was four, so she wanted to see the sun because it was that day in the seventh year it

In life, everyone has a time where they feel they don’t fit in. With boldness and confidence, you can always find where you belong. The two stories, All Summer in a Day and Counting by 7s portray this universal idea. All Summer in a Day takes place on Venus, where it rains constantly. Margot, who recently moved to Venus from Earth, remembers what all the other children cannot, the sun.

Margot, the main character in “All Summer in a Day,” demonstrates a outcome of waiting for something important to her. Margot lives on the planet Venus along with her classmates and the climate there is mostly rain. On the planet, “It had been raining for seven years; thousand upon thousands of days compounded and filled from one

During the story, the author pointed out why Margot was hated by her classmates. One example is that Margot’s family wanted to send her back to Earth since she was different from the other 9 year olds. The author exclaimed, “They hated her pale snow face, her waiting silence, her thinness, and her possible future,” (Bradbury, 1954). In this quote, it describes how Margot’s class has such hatred towards her like her possible future because if Margot goes back to Earth, she will see the sun. Her possible future might have made the children of Venus jealous because she might see the sun while they are left stuck in the constant rainfall.

In the story “All Summer In A Day” by: Ray Bradbury Margot is depressed because she is lonely, sad, and wants to fit in. One example of why Margot is depressed is because she is lonely. In the text it states,” Margot stood alone.” This shows she is lonely because she doesn’t talk to anyone. I also think that she wouldn’t get bullied if she talked to people because she would have friends.

It says that they hated her “pale snow face, her waiting silence, her thinness, and her possible future.” Margot was born on earth and because she is different they pick on her and shove her. Finally, in the story all the kids lock her in a closet. Jeez,talk about uncivilized am I right? William takes this whole thing too far when he picks her up and drags her to a closet with he fighting to get out This is beyond mean because the are keeping her hostage in a closet on the one day that the sun will come out.

Imagine living on a different planet, but being isolated and friendless. This happens to a girl named Margot in the short story, “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury. Margot is treated poorly by her classmates throughout the story. In the story, several scientists, along with their children, occupy underground tunnels on Venus. It seems perfect-minus one problem. It is constantly raining, for seven years in a row. The sun is said to come out on the day the story takes place, and Margot can’t wait. She is the only one of her classmates who remembers the sun, since she moved to Venus when she was five. However, the envious children grab Margot and shove her in a closet. The sun comes out, and they play and delight in its warmth. When it goes away, they remember Margot, and, heads hung low, they let her out of the closet. The children of Venus are harsh towards Margot because they are jealous of her. Because of this, she becomes isolated, depressed, and is constantly harassed by her peers.

Margot is marked as an outcast for something she’s not responsible for. “...the biggest crime of all was that she had only come here five years ago from Earth, and she remembered the sun and the way the sun was and the sky was when she was four in Ohio.” This proves that Margot is being marked as an outcast because the usage of dreary words such as crime and only project how lowly the other children think of her.
