Summary OfAll Summer In A Day By Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury’s story “All Summer in a Day” starts out on a rainy day on the planet Venus. Although it wasn’t just that day that was rainy, it’s been rainy every day for seven years. As there was a time long ago when the sun casted on this rainy planet, the children on Venus could not remember. Except for one, Margot a young girl that had just arrived from Earth four years ago. She remembers the warmth and brightness of the sun while she lived in Ohio with her family. At her new school on Venus, Margot shares her memories of the sun with her classmates. Her classmates don’t remember the sun causing them to get jealous and them to hurt Margot later in the story. This suggests that when people can’t get over their

Artists, in general, attempt to make each of their works different, in spite of the methodology being identical. In the case of two of Ray Bradbury’s stories, All Summer in a Day and If Only We Had Taller Been, this statement is verifiable in some components, yet not in others. They correspond in the setting, theme, and style, but nonetheless, they differ in conclusion, emotion, and developing. Reading both storylines creates a realization and understanding of not only the author, but also the hidden messages.

    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.

Over the course of history there have been many philosophers, scientists, and geniuses that have grappled with the human spirit, and how humans interact with one another. Ray Bradbury adds his name to that list with the short story “All Summer in a Day.” In this story, Bradbury uses realistic and fantastic elements, and plot structure to create and emphasize the theme that man despises all that is different.

In the short story “All Summer in a Day”, the author Ray Bradbury uses sensory imagery such as sight and sound to describe the setting of his version of planet Venus and to describe the children. He then uses the absence of sensory imagery when describing Margot to create contrast which helps us understand the idea that people who are different are ostracised and hated.

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.

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.”

“It has been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days compounded and filled from one end to the other with rain, with the drum and gush of water, with the sweet crystal fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy they were tidal waves come over the islands.” (Bradbury, 1954) In the dystopian story, “All Summer In A Day” by Ray Bradbury, it takes place on the planet, Venus. A group of children, along with scientists get to live there, while being educated at the underground school. Margot, who is only 9 years old, wasn't born on Venus like the other children, but instead on Earth. She’s the only one who remembers how the sun felt through her skin and how beautiful it shined. On the contrary, the other children are jealous of her because she has some memory of the sun, while they don’t. Jealousy caused the children to harass, isolate, and make her depressed.

In the beginning, Bradbury gives the reader information about Venus. Like how it hasn’t rained in seven years and will finally stop. Like how the children will do anything to be able to see the Sun, like bully someone who has seen the Sun before. Bradbury gives the reader some insight of how the children feel about Margot. How she acts around them. How she looks because she came later to Venus. Others may say that that point is wrong. Others may say that it was Margot who influenced the children to grow thirsty of the Sun. Others may say that it was Margot who kept on telling them about the Sun. Who kept on feeding them information on the Sun versus letting them find out on their own. By the end of the story, Bradbury tells the reader that after the other children played in the Sun for two hours, they realize that they had done something wrong. That they had taken Margot’s chance of seeing the Sun. They realize that she could be worse than before. They realize she could go out for revenge towards them for taking her chance. The short story 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

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.

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.

In the short story All Summer in A Day, by Ray Bradbury, it shows that if you never let things go, you could miss out on the great things in life. The story describes a girl who moved to the planet Venus years before the story took place, whose name was Margot. She despises it on Venus because of its constant rain, and also that the sun only passes once every 7 years for only 2 hours at a time. Margot hates this for she loves the sun, so she starts to eventually become depressed. While she remembers the sun, the other students on the planet don’t, which could lead to bad things happening.

Theme is something that most people take for granted. It’s often seen as something elementary. But, there is greatness in such simplicity that isn’t really that simplistic at all. Such is proven in Ray Bradbury's All Summer in a Day where one of the many themes is that the knowledge you have can sometimes set you apart from others in unpleasant ways such as not being able to connect with someone on a personal level, being marked as an outcast, and not being taken seriously.

The sun is a big, bright star located at the very center of our solar system. Everything our world, that we know of, needs the sun and its light. In fact, people get joy just from experiencing the sun's glorious heat. But what if we had to live our life sans the sun, without any light? What if you had to live your life in constant raining and thunder? In the short story, “All Summer in a Day”, a group of scientists had journeyed to the planet Venus, an ever-raining world, to set up a civilization and continue with their lives. Many of the scientists are raising their offspring. One of the nine-year-old children is Margot. But instead of being born on Venus, she comes from warm, sunny Ohio; she came when she was four. She is considered different from the other children of Venus because she has memories of basking in the sunlight, while the others do not. Margot has different memories and experiences in her life, compared to the children that she is surrounded by, and so they treat her poorly. Ray Bradbury shows this in the text with isolation, harassment, and oppression.

The story, “All Summer in a Day,” written by Ray Bradbury, takes place on Venus, where a civilization is built. But life on Venus is different. Unlike Earth, the people of Venus are stuck in an endless rain. This life especially hurts the children of the story. Which creates an ever looming feeling of dread for the children. In this classroom there is a child named Margot, she’s comparably different from the other children being that she arrived at Venus at the age of four, whilst the other children had been living their lives on Venus since their births. Due to Margot’s late arrival she’s has been able view the sun, and is able to remember this experience, which has made the other kids jealous. Because of this, it would lead the children down a path that they come to later regret. Taking this all into account, this is why it's easily speculated that the theme of the story is it is best to think twice before you do something you may regret.
