Ray Bradbury's All Summer In A Day

was like beating at the sea. Suddenly, from far off in the air toward the great salt lake, there was

Being able to see color is one of the things that make humans special but sometimes color can deceive us. Humans perceive color based upon the lighting and other colors around whatever the object they are looking at is. For example an apple can be seen as bright red if the colors around it are lighter or the light is hitting it straight on but the same apple can be seen as dark red if the colors behind it are darker or the light source is not focused on it

They show danger. The boiling and stirring. In some places it was burned. ”(Zusak 10) This quote conveys how the sky was angry.

The sunlight is a symbol of truth in one particular way. Mr. Dimmesdale confesses his sin in the sunlight. All truth was let out as soon as he confessed. Not everyone

All Summer in A Day, (ASIAD), Ray Bradbury uses the sun to symbolize freedom and hope. The sun shows hope by the article saying,

When I first saw the dress, I thought it was blue and black which confused me because I heard so many other people say that they saw white and gold. Furthermore, when I asked my family about what color they thought the dress was, I got a variety of answers. My sister and father said that the dress was white and gold, but my mother and little brother said that the dress was black and blue. I hypothesize that the cones, which are essential in perceiving colors, reacted differently to the lighting of the picture, resulting in the difference of opinion about the color of the dress (King, 2016, pg. 119). The sensation is sending information to the brain about the outside environment and its effect on the person receiving the sensory information.

Everyone needs to believe that things are going to get better, particularly when facing challenging or troubling times. Our world is fraught with sadness, misfortune, and adversity, and the world constructed by Ray Bradbury in “All Summer in a Day” is no different. Unending rain, gray skies, and endless dark doldrums beneath the surface of Venus plague the lives of the young children in his short story. And yet, every night when they go to sleep, the young protagonists hope for more. Despite being surrounded by a gray plague of ceaseless rain, the children dream of the sun. In “All Summer in a Day,” Bradbury uses the sun throughout the text to symbolize hope.

“She knew they thought they remembered a warmness, like a blushing in the face, in the body, in the arms and legs and trembling hands”. That is a metaphor that the author uses to show you that the kids really are sad and depressed that they can't remember what the sun looks. Also many people might say that metaphor isn't good for this story. They could pick Margot for instance. She would or could symbolise hope for the students because she always talked about it and wrote poems on it like she saw it yesterday.

Have you ever wondered why some people see an object and say that it has a different color than the original? Our brains are equipped with two wonderful visual receptor cells that help us densifier the differences in color. According to professor King, those receptors are called: Rods (they have a black and white type of vision), and the Cones (have color identification receptors). With these receptors we are able to predict what an object's color is. You've probably seen the "dress" that everyone has been talking about, but if you haven't don't worry you're not missing much.

Everybody wants to cherish something or have it all the time. In All Summer In A Day, Ray Bradbury’s characters want to be able to cherish the sun like everybody wants to cherish something that might be important to them. Throughout the story, Bradbury uses the students to symbolize how they feel about the sun. The students all being 9 years old means they were all two years old the last time the sun was out.

Even surrounded by death, Meursault finds the beauty in the light surrounding him. He thinks to himself, “The room was filled with beautiful late-afternoon sunlight.” (Camus 7). In the presence of death, one would expect a man who just lost his mother to recognize the bad in his surroundings, to depict a gloomy scene. Such instances are part of a constant theme in the book, Meursault being comforted or finding content in the sun. The fact that Camus uses this quote here is to introduce this theme that will be present in the rest of the book. Camus’ ample descriptive style involving the sun in contrast to the short sentences surrounding the quote in this paragraph clearly display the importance of the sun and light in the story. By him even describing the light as beautiful and late-afternoon, the reader gets a feeling for Camus’ purpose here. The highly descriptive words used to depict the light created by the sun in the room create a warmth of sorts in the reader’s mind, a warmth that mirrors Meursault’s comfort, even in a situation where many would not be. The showing of the importance of light in the beginning of the book sets up the rest of the book to follow this theme as well as how important a symbol light will

Before we can understand the impacts of colour we must first have a basic understanding of how our brain sees colour.

There are many people who take things for granted, and they do not realize the importance of what they have until it is gone from their lives. Tzippy is a character in a novel who is an example of this truth. Thus, tThe theme of Tzippy The Thief by author Patricia Striar Rohner is, “Appreciate what you have before it's gone”, as demonstrated by the way Tzippy regrets that she did not appreciate the good relationship she had with her daughter, how she regrets not appreciating Ben when he was alive, and at the end of the book when she realizes that if she doesn't appreciate what she has, it would become a future regret when it's gone.

One afternoon, a woman of about 70 years, hiked up the great mountain, there she would stand on the highest peak and speak with the Eagle. She often wondered about the sun, she regularly would gaze into its blinding ray and let the warmth of it embrace her. As she and the Eagle spoke for awhile, she asked, “how did the sun come to be?” Why does it shine so brilliantly?” The Eagle then turned toward the sun and smiled, “I am quite glad you asked.” As the Eagle began to tell the legendary story, the woman was already in aw. “If you have ever studied the sun, you’ll see that it is the color of fresh corn from our view.” “Yes, but how did it become that way?” the woman asked.

he sun finds a way to shine into even the deepest parts of the forest. It is a metaphor for all of us who are working to restore hope and dignity around the world.
