Have you ever been bullied? People get bullied for certain reasons like how Margot did by her classmates. In the story All Summer in a day and the piece of art titled “pointing fingers,” the theme bullying is used. In life, there is something different about everyone, but we all have to think to ourselves how the other person would feel if you are going to do a certain action.

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.

In “Phoebe Prince: Should School Bullying Be a Crime?”, an article written by journalist Jessica Bennet addresses school bullying, the outcomes and the consequences that bullies deserve or not. Above all, this article aims the spotlight on bullying, a 15-year-old who took her own life due to harassment, torment, rumors, physical threats all leading it to being bullied by well-known good students.

The theme of “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury is bullying. One way he demonstrates this is by using language. He says that the kids on Venus, a rainy planet, “hated” Margot because she could remember the sun and they couldn’t. He says that they would “shove” her, and “cried” that she was “lying” about the way the Sun looked. They were jealous of her memory and thus hated her. A similar technique is used in “Vow of Silence,” by Laura Scapher. She says that the main character was “tormented,” a “freak,” and was “hit” and “hissed” at. This makes me think that life was really hard to Margot and the boy because they were tortured frequently and it seems like went they were at school, (where the bullies where), they weren’t allowed

In paragraph two on the second page the author introduces a new character that had been referred to as one of the bullies. This character gets introduced with a conversation between the main character and the bully. “What’re you looking at?” said William. Before this Margot was staring out the window, waiting for the sun to come out. William being the bully he is, questions everything margot does. This is important to the development of the main character Margot because it shows her relationship between the rest of her classmates.

Many kids can feel alone and turn to bullying because they do not want to do what people expect of them. “In a videotape, the young gunmen attributed their acts to retaliation for years of taunting that they said friends and relatives had

The book states "Bullying is done on purpose, with the intent to hurt or embarrass you." This shows that there is no mistake about the act , they're trying to hurt someone. In addition, "...sometimes a bully will corner you in an empty hallway and actually carry them out. But bullying is usually done for others to see.

So bully make sure someone knows to show that they are powerful and shouldn't be messed

Although the protagonists from each story get bullied, the results of the bullying differ in some ways. In the novel, “All Summer In A Day,” Margot’s bullies regretted what they had done to Margot. For instance, the author stated on page 6, “They stood as if

Bullies in School Kathleen Berger 1 Bullying was once commonly thought to be an unpleasant but normal part of child's play, not to be encouraged, of course, but of little consequence in the long run. However, developmental researchers who have looked closely at the society of children consider bullying to be a very serious problem, one that harms both the victim and the aggressor, sometimes continuing to cause suffering years after the child has grown up. 2 One leading researcher in this area is Dan Olweus, who has studied bullying in his native country of Norway and elsewhere for twenty-five years. The cruelty, pain, and suffering that he has documented in that time are typified by the examples of Linda and Henry: Linda was systematically
