Summary Of All Summer In A Day By Ray Bradburry

“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.

In “All Summer in a Day” and “Raymond’s Run” 2 characters, Margot and Raymond are being bullied for being different. Margot is bullied, but could not stand up for herself while the victims of bullying in “Raymond’s Run” stood up for Raymond. Even though Margot and Raymond are being bullied, there are different reasons for their bullying and also different effects led to the bullying. “All Summer in a Day” and “Raymond’s Run” feature characters who are bullied for different reasons and to different effects, but both stories show the harmful effects of bullying.

“Before the End of Summer” by Grant Moss Jr. is a short story about a little boy named Bennie who finds out his grandmother is going to die before the end of summer. As the weeks go by, he sees other people dying and eventually comes to terms with the truth. The author uses symbolism throughout the story, one example being Bennie himself. Bennie represents childhood innocence and immaturity and the transition from it. The symbolism helps prove the theme of the story, being that ‘In the darkest of times, we find our strength.’

Imagine living in a planet where it doesn't stop raining for seven years, but then when it stops, it only stops for 2 hours. In the short story “ All Summer In A Day”, Margot is a girl who moved years ago from Earth. The Earth is a planet, the planet where you can almost always see the sun. Margot moved to the planet of Venus, the planet where you can see the sun once every seven years. Margot is a girl who really loves the sun, and in Venus she is not able to see it or feel it.

All of these actions of the kids are happening because they are jealous.They are jealous of her experiences because she remembers the sun.

All of this jealousy causes Margot to be depressed and antisocial.

We have observed two different short stories, one called “Examination Day” by Henry Slesar, and another called “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury. “Examination Day” is about how when a person becomes 12 years old they have to take an examination determining their intelligence.

Try conceptualizing a world with perpetual rain. This is the world that Bradbury creates in his short story, “All Summer In a Day. A group of scientists and their children live on Venus, a planet that only sees the sun for an hour every seven years. The kids that immigrated here are only 9 years old. They do not remember the sun, as they have only seen the sun once, 7 years ago. But, there is a girl named Margot. Unlike the other kids, she was born on earth and moved to Venus 5 years ago. She has distinct memories of the sun. This causes her to stand out from the other kids. The loss of the sun causes her to grieve. The children living on Venus treat Margot mercilessly in jealousy due to her prior knowledge and experiences. This causes Margot to be a victim of depression, harassment, and denial.

In All Summer In A Day Ray bradbury uses symbolism and metaphors to describe what is happening in the short story. So an example is when he used a metaphor to describe how the sun had looked. Another example was when Bradbury used symbolism to describe the sun and how it impacted the kids. One example of a metaphor that Bradbury used was ¨Sun is like a lemon¨ and so I be going into detail on how he used symbolism and metaphors, throughout the book to show what happening.

An anonymous quote of “Jealousy is just a lack of self confidence” this quote shows that when Margot is locked into the closet the children are jealous of her seeing the sun.

Kids can be  cruel when they are envious as shown in the short story, “All Summer In A Day,” by Ray Bradbury. The sun is what makes Margot happy, and when that gets taken away from her. In this short story there is several acts of cruelty to Margot by her classmates. These kids live in the planet of Venus, and they haven’t seen the sun in seven years, except for Margot. The kids are only nine years old so they haven’t seen the sun since they were two years old, but Margot moved there from Earth when she was four and she remembers the sun and that makes the other kids envious. In the beginning of the story it is the day that the sun is supposed to come out for the first time in seven years! The kids were skeptical except for Margot because she wanted to see it so bad. The kids were starting to prepare for the sun to come out but they were sitting inside waiting. While they were waiting the kids decided to lock Margot in a closet and not let her out. When the sun came out all the kids ran outside to play in the sun that felt so warm and nice on their skin, except for Margot, who was sitting inside in the dark closet. When the kids came back inside they felt sorry for leaving Margot in there. Envy can lead people to commit awful acts and cause shame as demonstrated throughout the character's actions in, “All Summer In A Day.”
