This story has many aspects which can be analyzed. The setting in this story means more than what meets the eye. The story is set on the planet Venus, where it rains constantly, except for every seven years, where the downpour is interrupted by a

Personal Life Born in December 1571, in Weil der Stadt in Swabia, in Southwest Germany Johannes Kepler was the son of two poor parents. Growing up, he got a scholarship in the University of Tübingen where he studied the usual mathematics, there he was introduced

Bradbury demonstrates the use of plot effectively. Bradbury uses a distinct beginning, middle, and end which cause the sequence of events that take place. The story begins on the day where the sun is predicted to appear on Venus for the first time in seven years. The children are discussing if they think the sun will really come as they’re looking out the window for it. Here is where Margot first talks about her experience with the sun.

many similarities. The inner planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The inner planets are made of rock, and are solid.

The Inner Planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Mercury is the closest to the sun, so it has extreme temperatures. Mercury also has frozen water on its surface, and

In the novel Number the Stars, Kirsti gave the name Thor, for the God of Thunder, to the kitten that lived on Uncle Henrik's farm. To give such a rugged, dynamic name to a kitten is an example of a contradiction in terms. Uncle Henrik's cow was named Blossom.
