“All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury Literary Analysis
The sun, to us, is a standard custom of life. What if someone snatched that away from you and left you on a planet with no sun, and where it rained every, single day for years. Bradbury eventuates a planet like this to life to describe the mentality of the jealous and disconsolate. “All Summer in a Day”, takes place on the planet of Venus, where an organization of scientists and their children live. Margot is a young girl who treasures the warmth of the sun, and its beauty, and is grieving the sudden loss of the heat. She remembers the sun, because up until she was four years old, she lived on the beautiful, lush, Earth. Ordinarily, the children disbelief her reminiscence, and progressively …show more content…
Nevertheless, the children are jealous of the practicality of the sun. In particular the author characterizes a scene when Margot reprobates to take a shower, because of the constant indication of ceaseless rain. The author writes, “And once, a month ago, she had refused to shower in the school shower rooms, had clutched her hands to her ears and over her head, screaming the water mustn’t touch her head. So after that, dimly, dimly, she sensed it, she was different and they knew her difference and kept away.” (Bradbury, 1954). In other words, Bradbury is persuading the readers that Margot is distinctive and she was gradually perceiving it. Margot was the only one who could recall the sun, and because of this small dispute she is being secluded. On the contrary, the children do everything they can, to include her in their games. While taking into account her difference they still try and make her jubilant again. Conversely, Margot refuses to play with anyone in her depressed state, which makes the kids rebel against her actions. The author illustrates in the story, “She felt them go away. And this was because she would play no games with them in the echoing tunnels of the underground city.” (Bradbury, 1954). Accordingly, Margot’s rejection against the kids leads to the children becoming enraged and harassing …show more content…
The children could not recollect when the sun had shone last when they were two and the author states that the children had only never known “sunlamps” (Bradbury, 1954). Consequently, the constant showers of rain is not a daily distress in the children’s monotonous lives. Contrarily, the children were ignorant to Margot and the fortuity of sincere warmth and heat in their lives. The meticulous qualities that were embedded in them slowly disappeared, leaving them with only hate and jealousy against Margot. Now that they have experienced the sun, it will be almost impossible to shift back to their former lifestyle. Finally, at the end of the story the children remember Margot, but it’s too late; she might have to wait seven prolonged years to see the sun again. The children ask the teacher, “Will it be seven more years?” (Bradbury, 1954), and they finally conceive the severity of her
