“Behind the closet the door was only silence” I think that the author wants people who are reading her story to wonder what happened after that or if Margot was in there or what happened to her.

“Ready, ready, now, now” the kids were saying that because, that day the sun was supposed to come out and were wondering if the scientists really knew what they were talking about when they said that the sun was supposed to come out when it hadn't for seven years.

“Margot stood apart from them, from these children who couldn't ever remember a time when there wasn't always rain,rain,rain.” I think that the kids thought and saw how Margot was and didn't believe her when she said that the sun was like a ball of fire and all the other things that she said the sun was like. Margot felt bad for the kids that had not seen the sun for seven years. Margot stood out because everyone thought that she was some weirdo that was born on the earth.

“Yes,yes” the children were saying yes yes because the rain was starting to stop and it was at that moment when the kids knew that the scientist after all might be

    Throughout this whole reading I was a bit confused on what the entire purpose of this story was. In this reading a forty-year-old man, who is also the narrator, was able to hear sounds across the whole house. The thing that bothered me was that the entire time I would wonder if there was actually anyone there. There was no potential proof that someone was also in the house except for the man himself and his sister, Irene.…

This is where they hide for about 3 to 4 years when World War 2 was happening. The authors write,”When the door is opened we see that it has been concealed on the outer side by a book case attached to it” (Page 701 Goodrich & Hackett).

    In the beginning of the story, the kids were very rude towards Margot but by the end that all changed. Bradbury painted a very vivid scene in the reader's head, the text stated, “They walked slowly down the hall in the sound of cold rain. They turned through the doorway to the room in the sound of the storm and thunder, lightning on their faces, blue and terrible. They walked over to the closet door slowly and stood by it.” The reason Bradbury wrote this piece is to build suspense and make the reader anxious.…
