The Day Mrs. Park Was Arrested

Harrison Bergeron and Searching for Summer have several things in common. Both take place in the future, one in the year 2081 and the other is unknown. Secondly, in both stories the characters in the story are being oppressed by humans. For example, the Handicapper General controls the entire population to make everyone the same while a war between countries have caused the world to never see the light of day. A third way that these two short stories are similar is that both main characters are looking for beauty in an ugly world. Harrison tries to break free from the control of the government and have freedom that no one else has. In the same way, Lily and Tom try to find the beauty of the sun. Each individual searches for beauty and knows

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

A theme is the author’s underlying message that is expressed in more one word. Some themes can be very similar to each other, an example of this is the two documents I will comparing in this analysis essay; The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and On the sidewalk Bleeding by Evan Hunter. These two stories share similar themes, Don’t judge someone by what they look like, get to know them before you determine their fate. However the authors portray this theme in a different way. One story depicts a young boy who goes through troublesome events in his life before he realizes the moral of his life.

People read countless stories that have a variety of themes in them. When people read “Angela's Ashes” by Frank McCourt, and “The Street” by Ann Petry, they can probably sense that there is something similar among the two stories', and that's because they share a common theme. The theme is how people can persevere through problems that they encounter. The reader will discover this similar theme of persevering through problems with the way the authors utilize the character of characters feelings and personality, the way setting creates a backdrop that establishes the tone of the story, and events that cause conflict to the character.

To start, “All Summer in a Day” and “The Gift of the Magi” are similar in the way they their subjects took action to develop theme. For example, in “All Summer in a Day”, Bradbury uses a subject to develop the theme, which is the continuous rain for seven years. There is this group of children at school

As excellent narratives invoke emotion in the reader, All Summer in a Day and If Only We had Taller Been stimulate very differing reactions. When someone reads a story, their response to it can determine things such as: their overall opinion, their interpretation of what is occurring, and even the way they think or act towards certain things in the future. The language an author uses can affect this as well. In the beginning of both stories, the reader is hopeful of things to come, new adventures commencing. As you get deeper into the tales, things begin to deviate. All Summer in a Day utilizes violence to frighten the reader, and their hope diminishes. For instance, “They surged about her, caught her up and bore her, protesting, and then pleading, and then crying, back into a tunnel, a room, a closet, where they slammed and locked the door. They stood looking at the door and saw it tremble from her beating and throwing herself against it. They heard her muffled cries.” (Bradbury 3). With this, Margot loses everything she wanted, as does the reader. On the other hand, If Only We Had Taller Been exercises metaphors and references to unknown and known people/places to connect with the reader and make them experience a feeling of pride. For example, “If only we had taller been, And touched God's cuff, His hem… But they, like us, were standing in a hole… At last put Adam’s

The theme is normally the message the author wants the reader to understand and take in. The theme of the story started with this quote, “From my office, I could look across town to the weather signal on the Mutual of New York Building and the lights that alternately spelled TIME and LIFE above Rockefeller Plaza; that pleased me obscurely, and so did walking uptown in the mauve eight o’clocks of early summer evenings and looking at things.” (Pg. 6) The theme of this story is about time and life. It took time for the character to finally realize the things she wanted in life. She thought she wanted to live in New York and settle in. However, her time in New York wasn’t the best experience she had hope for. Her life was a mess, and she wasn’t focused on the right things she was suppose to be focusing on. Seeing the words TIME on Rockefeller Plaza, one of New York’s main attraction gave her hope again. From the beginning she believed that time would help her adapt to New York. When she first got to New York, she was young. Being young gave her opportunities and time to find jobs and work her way up. It took time for her to realize all the problems she had been living with. It took time for her to realize that Los Angeles was a place she enjoyed living in in the future. New York was a stage of time where she had to discover herself as an individual. The last sentence of the passage showed that she was happy living in Los Angeles. “There were years when I called Los Angeles “the coast,” but they seem a long time ago. (Pg. 8) Normally, people living in the east coast would call Los Angeles the coast, but it was a long time ago since she called Los Angeles the coast. This provides the reader a hint that she had settled down in Los Angeles and have been living there for a long time. It took her a long time to discover the life she wanted. New York wasn’t the one for her. It only took time for her to discover what she

Lastly jackson had the same main message for both stories. The theme is not to judge a book by it's cover because although the town in The Lottery and Miss Strangeworth both seem innocent and quiet they are not who them seem to be.

In the story “All Summer In a Day”, Margot’s class mates are jealous of her and describe her as different, because in the story it states, “Margot stood apart from them, from these children who could ever remember there wasn’t a time without rain, rain, and rain.” The

In the poem Making Sarah Cry, the theme is perseverance. In the article, Susan B Anthony Dares To Vote! the theme is perseverance. The theme is perseverance in Making Sarah Cry because the narrator persevered to stick up for Sarah. The theme in the article Susan B Anthony Dares To Vote! Is perseverance because she traveled all over the country to allow women to have the right vote. The theme perseverance is shown differently in both stories because in both the poem and the article they each have a chance of facing a risk. Both the poem and the article have a chance of facing a risk because in Susan B Anthony Dares To Vote! Susan B Anthony has a risk of getting shot or killed because she is going all over the country to allow women to have the right to vote. which is very risky. In the poem Making Sarah Cry Sarah had a chance of facing a risk because she was being bullied and if she is getting bullied she has a risk of getting her feelings hurt.

There are many things that the article about immigrants and the story “All Summer in a Day” have in common. For example, Margot is an immigrant who moved from Planet Earth to Venus. She had to face many new people, a new environment, and most of all a new climate weather. Like it was mentioned in the article,

But she remembers the sun, unlike the others, from her time on Earth. She becomes the outcast because the rest of the students envy her for her remembrance of the sun. In “God’s Plan” and “All Summer in a Day” there is a recurring theme in both pieces; but there is also differences in both. A similar theme in both “God’s Plan” and “All Summer in a Day” is that people tend to try and bring other people down who have something they don't.

The theme in “All Summer in a Day” and “The Day Rosa Parks was arrested” are similar. The theme that they share is “Stand up for what you believe in.” In both the story, and the drama there is that one person that does not want to be treated the that other people are treating them. It’s just like in “All Summer in a Day” the girl Margot believed that the sun was going to come up, but everyone else didn’t believe her, so they made fun of her because of what she believed in. In “The Day Rosa Parks was Arrested” a white man told Rosa Parks to get up so he could sit down.

The theme is the same in the texts “Making Sarah Cry” and “Don’t Give Up The Fight”. The theme is growing up in both texts. They are similar because in both texts the main characters faced their problems when the went to bullies to make some difference like when the main character in “Making Sarah Cry” got into a problem when he went back to make Sarah cry and his friends became bullies toward him whereas in “Don’t Give Up The Fight” the main character gets into a problem when she challenges a bully to a race. However, these texts show this theme in different ways to. In the poem “Making Sarah Cry” the main character just walked away a never bullied Sarah again after she stood up for him but in “Don’t Give Up The Fight” Ava decides to tell her friend about it and fixed everything because she told a teacher and the bully got in trouble.

In these stories I have read “All Summer In a Day” by Ray Bradbury, and “Chair On Top Of The World” by Stuart Baum. The main character in “All Summer In a Day” is Margot and the main character in “Chair On Top Of The World” is Tomas. In the story “All Summer In a Day” talks about Margot. She was once living on the planet Earth and now she living in the Venus. Margot is the only one living on Venus that came from Earth. All the children there are bullying Margot because, the children thinks Margot is fibbing. When the teacher announced that the sun is going to be rising this year and this day. Margot got excited, all of a sudden the kids lock Margot up in a closet. In the story “Chair On Top Of The World” talks about Tomas. He reads a book and
