Margot Struggles On Venus: All Summer Day By Ray Bradbury

In “All Summer in a Day”, the authority figure is the nine-year-old schoolboy William. The dark story takes place on Venus, where it rains constantly and only one hour of sunlight is witnessed every seven years. The students who live on Venus are unaware of the joy that the sun can potentially bring to them because they were not old enough to appreciate it during its last appearance seven years ago. Young Margot moved from Ohio to Venus five years ago. Therefore, she had recently experienced the sun and even had the ability to properly describe it in her poem as “a flower, that blooms for just one hour.”

Venus has a different culture and a different way of life from Earth that Margot is not used to. Margot is not a model immigrant because she does not even try to follow their culture. The author said, “Margot refused to shower in the in the school shower rooms, had clutched her hand to her ears” (Bradbury 3). This shows how Margot does not contribute to their lifestyles, which will make

Margot’s classmates display many acts of jealousy throughout the story. Being on Venus their whole lives, Margot’s classmates came to the planet when they were two years old, and don't have any relevant memories of the sun, but Margot has first hand memories of what the sun is like from when she was on Earth. Her classmates had their last encounter with the sun at two years old, and they have long forgotten their memories of the sun, creating this jealousy of Margot’s knowledge. “‘It’s like a penny,’ she said once, eyes closed. ‘No it’s not!’ the children cried. ‘It’s like like a fire,’ she said, ‘in the stove.’ ‘You’re lying, you don’t remember!’ cried the children”(2). As Margot shares memories of the sun with the class, the children deny she remembers, even though they know it's true. Even though Margot’s classmates are jealous of her knowledge, they still cared to listen. Margot has these memories of Earth, which unleashed envy inside the students because she

She does not engage in the activities they are accustomed to, comes from a different place other than Venus, and stands silent and aloof from them during such circumstances in which the children eagerly crowd the window and wait for the sun to come out and the rain to stop. Since she lives a lifestyle different to theirs on Venus, they feel that ostracizing and bullying her may force her to adapt to their ways.

Rain pours outside like an overflowing canteen waiting to be tipped over. Thunder crackles like fireworks on the 4th of July. And Margot could not be more despondent. The only thing keeping her awake at night is the fact that the sun will come out tomorrow, to experience it’s true glory, for the first time on the planet Venus. Unfortunately, she was locked in a closet by the envious bullies that were jealous of her superior experiences. In the story “All Summer In a Day” by Ray Bradbury, the main character, Margot, is upset because of the constant rain on the planet Venus, and the persistent torments by the envious bullies due to the jealousy that the children feel about her experiences. Thesis goes here.

    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,

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.

All the kids on Venus are very similar and close. Margot is different from the rest of them, they only one who stands out. She’s described as “an old photograph dusted from an album, whitened away, and if she spoke at all her voice would be ghost” (Bradbury). The main difference between her and them is how she is “whitened away”. Margot remembers the sun. Without the sun, she has lost who she truly is. She speaks like a ghost which is quiet and almost unnoticeable while the other kids are loud and playful. Her personality is the biggest difference between her and the group of kids in her class. People will not always be the same as everyone, and, even if it takes some time, that needs to be accepted and

“All Summer Day” by Ray Bradbury is a short story about Margot, a little girl that is depressed and bullied by classmates. Margot recently came to Venus from Earth, she misses seeing the sun because Venus rains all day and night and the sun only comes out every 7 years. This makes her depressed, but to make it worse the other kids bully her because they are jealous that she saw the sun more recently than them. One lesson the story suggests is that depression can cause you to not enjoy life and be lonely.

Imagine living on the planet Venus where it is dark and rainy all day, everyday. Imagine never experiencing the way the sun feels on your body or what it is like to be woken up early in the morning by the bright sun. In the short story “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury the young children never experience the sun. It takes place on the planet Venus where it rains all year round. It focuses on a conflict between a group of school children and a girl named Margot who doesn’t fit in with the other children.

The students regretted not apologizing to Margot before she left, and there wouldn't be a next time to apologize. Margot would be living on Earth for the rest of her life and would never return. However, Margot wasn’t one to be vindictive. Everyone had seen the warning on the news, and the people of Earth fled back to their home quickly. Many people who left Venus never returned again. Those who left Venus knew it wasn’t healthy to return. Besides, everyone seemed to gain color, happiness, and a new love for

Margot’s classmates refuse to believe that she ever saw the sun and even if she did, she would not remember it. They know she did but they don’t like that such a shy and rejected person has seen something so incredible that they have not seen. Margot moved to the planet Venus from Earth when she was four years old while the entire rest of her class had lived on Venus their whole lives. Everyone in the class, including Margot; were nine years old. On Venus the sun only showed itself once every seven years for a short two hours, so the rest of the class had not seen it since they were two so they did not remember what it looked like at all. Margot was disliked and rejected by her

While there she was picked on by her fellow classmates for lack riches, and visitors. Her parents just saw her as an extra expense, and didn’t want to have to deal with, so they never even thought of visiting. The only time they saw her was either for her relocation, or to go home and recover from a fatal sickness.

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
