The Mood Of All Summer In A Day

on the day the sun came out the kids laughed at her. They laughed at her when she said today was the day. After this they locked her in a closet because they were jealous. They surrounded her and shoved her into the closet and locked her in there until the sun went away for the next seven years. Margot’s classmates did mean things to her out of jealousy like locking her in a closet.

Most people in life want something very bad. Whether it is happiness, money, to be taller, or being able to see the sun. In All Summer In a Day by Ray Bradbury Margot really wants to see the sun because she lives on a different planet where the sun only comes out for one hour every 7 years. In a poem called If Only We Had Taller Been by Ray Bradbury the author describes how they want to be taller, or greater, or they just want more money to be able to do something great. Both authors use mood to describe the theme.

We wake up everyday to different weather, either good or bad, however our emotions are depended upon it. One September day arose, rain was falling and so were my emotions. I felt sad for no reason, I should have felt happy because it was Saturday, but no matter what happened, I was down. In the Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger uses weather to exploit emotion.

In the story, All Summer in a day, by Ray Bradbury, the setting helps develop the mood of sadness, and depression. The author does this by making the setting dark and stormy everyday on venus. The setting makes the story gloomy at first, but when the sun comes out for one hour, it makes the reader hopeful, but the main character missed the sun. That makes the reader’s mood depressed and sad.

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.

When the sun comes out he writes, “ (they) squinted at the sun until the tears ran down their faces; they put their hands up to that yellowness and that amazing blueness and they breathed of the fresh, fresh air and listened and listened to the silence which suspended them”. This profound imagery provides assistance to the reader so that they can better relate to how the children are feeling and how incredible it must feel for them. When reading, the reader feels more appreciative of the sun because they can picture how wonderful a few minutes of bright blazing sun feels burning on your skin after rain all their lives. A similar method is used at the end of the sun event. The author wrote,” A few cold drops fell on their noses and their cheeks and their mouths” this tactile imagery plays an important role in the reader’s understanding of the instant dread felt when the rain had started once again. The imagery used to describe these two contradictory feelings and make the reader experience them gave more understanding and dimensions to the story. Imagery provides a connection which gives readers a sense of the impact the events that take place

She looks dead. And in “All Summer in a Day”, the children pick on her and mostly ignore her. While they were jealous of her for seeing the sun, they are also human. Would you want to hang around someone who seems dead? No, you wouldn’t want to, now would you?

This is able to convey meaning by creating a contradiction. While the rain is sweet, beautiful, and crystal, it is simultaneously repetitive and tiresome. The rain connects to the roses Bradbury used as well because the beauty of the roses disguises the negative aspects of it, similarly the seemingly beautiful exterior of the rain does not show how its constant fall can be irritating. Here Bradbury manages to form a connection between the children and the rain through his imagery. The children have known rain all of their lives, causing them to become closely associated with one another. The more they experienced rain, the less they liked it. Contrastingly, they did not know Margot very well but still did not favor her. It is this contradiction between disliking what is known and what is not known that connects back to the same major conflict appearing throughout the story as to how one reacts to something that is foreign to them in contrast to if they recognized it

    Margot gets treated cruelly by those in her class because they are envious of where she’s from and her knowledge, or experience. Margot is nine years old, living on the planet Venus, where she moved from Earth, when she was four years old. Margot is the only kid in her class the remembers the sun and this makes all the other kids envious of her because when the other kids saw the sun they were only two years old but Margot was four which makes them  jealous. When Margot was talking about the scientist predicting the sun would come out one of the boys said, “‘All a joke… let’s put her in a closet before the teacher comes back!’” (Bradbury 3). The  kids are so envious or jealous of Margot that they want to lock her in a closet, right before the sun is supposed to come out because they don’t believe it is. When the sun finally came out  the children rush outside to enjoy nature and the sun,

“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.

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.

Being sad and depressed is something all humans go through. In All Summer In A Day, By Ray Bradbury, shows how the characters go through a hard, seven year, depressing life until the sun comes out. The days are always dark and the nights are cold. Throughout the story, Ray Bradbury uses metaphors to show how the kids feel about the sun not coming out and how they want to feel warm hearted. The students have always wanted to see the sun since seven years.

The short story “All Summer in a Day” takes place on the planet Venus. It was written in March 1954 by Ray Bradbury. Bradbury’s life experiences influenced him to write “All Summer in a Day. ”The story uses foreshadowing to reveal the themes of jealousy and isolation. Ray Bradbury went through several life events that led him to write the sci-fi short story “All Summer in a Day.”

The story All Summer In A Day by Ray Bradbury is about a girl named Margot who doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of the kids. Margot moved from Earth to Venus because her parents had to have money. But on Venus the sun only comes out every 7 years for only 1-2 hours. But as we all know on Earth the sun is out every day for 12 hours, so Margot knows what the sun looks like. So all the other kids are jealous of her so they throw her in a closet.

The author makes the reader understand this theme through some text evidence in the end of the short story. For example its says “ Then one of them gave a little cry. ‘Margot !’ ‘What ?’ ‘She’s still in the closet where we left her’ ‘Margot.’” These piece of evidence shows that after all of Margot’s classmates bullied her and violently pushed her in a closet, are feeling regret. They have a feeling of sorrow because they know they have done something that should not have happened. Ray Bradbury provides multiple text evidence, such as “Behind the closet door was only silence. They unlocked the door, even more slowly and let Margot out.” This scene also shows a sense of deep regret from the kids who did the horrible act to Margot. They know that the consequences that they will face, such as Margot doing bad stuff to them or the teacher punishing the kids, will be
