Margot: A Narrative Fiction

Arriving at school, no one know what was going on. “I remember that the students were all very upset, but no one knew what was going on.” Being unaware of the situation, Lilarose felt scared and worried. “I would hear about what happened, but not being able to actually see it. I could not comprehend the situation.”

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, the author shows that the harassment Margot goes through is due to the children’ lack of knowledge about the sun since they have spent their whole life on Venus. Throughout the day, Margot brings back memories of the sun.

Her eyes were blinded by the sight of the lightning. Margot stepped slowly out of the closet. She looked at all of her so called “friends” thinking of why they did this to her. She thought, “What did I do to them to deserve this?” She had never shoved their faces in the dirt, or stolen their lunches, she had never spoken a word to anyone. Maybe that was the problem? She cared for the other children even though, they were not as intelligent or self-assured as she was. She didn’t degrade them for this, in fact, she wanted to be like them. Margot hated every part of being different. She wanted to forget the sun that she used to see and be like the children.

I come from a place of proud people and independence; a place of worn church houses and of tear stained Bibles. I come from a place of shackles and chains made of coal that held my people in slavery and subjugation; a place of used needles and broken hearts. I come from Appalachia, and I will be heard. My roots run deep within me connecting me to the mountains where I was born. In my times of trials and tribulations. I look back to my roots and the people who worked so hard to get me to where I am. I find hope In those memories, they give me the strength to persevere and work towards my goals.

The class is writing their stories they are writing about how awesome the experience was but not Margot. Margot was writing about her previous experience and how great it was. The teacher walked over to Margot.

All of the students looked at Margot with saddened faces. “We were so caught up in the moment of the sun coming out,” a boy said. “We didn’t mean to have you miss the sun, we thought you were lying.” Margot looked like she was inside of a blender, and all of the knives were cutting her up. She was tired and beaten. Her hair was all frizzy, and she had some bumps on her shoulder from trying to bust down the door.

That was the worst thing she had ever experienced. The kids had locked her up in the closet on the most important day ever, the day the sun came out. Not only that, they tried to lie that the sun didn’t come out. Margot’s body shivered as she burst through the door to her house. For right now at least.

All of the students nearly jump out of their skin and run as fast as lightning out of the door. All except two, Mckenna and Annie. Mckenna hesitates and lazily wakes up from sleep. She peers around the classroom, and soon her eyes meet Mrs. Williams’s. There was complete silence. “Mckenna, have you finished your test?” Mrs. William asked calmly.

“I’m going to kill you.” It’s a threat. A threat he will, most likely carry out, but there’s something in his expression that tells me differently. It’s something that doesn’t make sense with his personality. It’s fear. A fear I know all to well. Fear that he’ll be left here to die and no one will care. The same kind of fear I’ve experienced.

“We were headed outside but before I could get out of the classroom I got shoved into the closet. I...I never got to see the sun…..” She trailed off before bursting into tears. The teacher's eyes immediately filled with sympathy for Margo and a thought crossed her mind; however, she immediately dismissed it for it was completely bizarre. Then the thought of this poor girl who was bullied simply because she remembered something that other students couldn’t.

While Margot was at school her classmates had put her in the closet because they hated her! They use a violent motion to put her in the closet and slammed it shut and locked it! Their teacher was out of the classroom when this happened and when she came back the rain had stopped and the students was rushing her to go outside! She knows how much they wanted to see the sun and she wanted to see they because it has been 7 years!

In the excerpt play from,"The Diary of Anne Frank," both authors, Frances Goodrich and Albert Hockett shows how Margot's character trait is a little happy but serious by using character's dialogue. Margot is a little happy but serious which is shown by character's dialogue when Margot says,"Margot: I don't even know what home would be like anymore. I can't imagine it- we've been away for so long...

Thesis Statement: The children are victims of William's peer pressure because he influences their thoughts and actions, which also results to Margot being in uncomfortable situations. The first reason why the other students are victims of peer pressure is because William influences their opinions. Before the sun is about to come out, William picks on Margot saying she is a liar. The story states, "'Nothing's happening today.

The final bell rang, and students erupted in a joyful chorus of cheers as summer break began. I sang a melancholy dirge of self-pity. My bitterness increased as I waited for my mother to pick me up. She came at last and I jumped up, anxious to leave forever. Again, Mrs. Thomas thwarted my plans; she came outside to talk to my mother, undoubtedly about my ignominious fate. As they murmured, I viewed the co-conspirators with hostile eyes. I'm a victim, the final sigh of my fifth grade year whispered wearily.
