    The other children who live on Venus have only seen the sun once when they were two years old. I think that the theme of this story is that jealousy can make people do things that they wouldn’t normally do because of the way they treat Margot because she can still remember the sun. For example, when Margot was writing a poem about the sun, a boy named William exclaimed. “‘Aw, you didn’t write that!”’ That shows how much tension is between her and the other kids.…

As shown in Bobbie Ann Mason 's "Being Country", the story just shows that it 's normal to be envious of others and just look at positive things in their lives while ignoring the negative things. For example, when Mason 's family was having dinner, instead of looking at it like a feast because of the plentiful food her family had. Mason looked at it as "fuel for work". Instead of always looking at the positive side, we as humans like to generate an unreasonable conclusion from what 's bad in our lives to what 's good in someone else 's.…

    Modern American culture includes an alarming amount of conformity and censorship that spews from television, the media, and social networking, that has significantly changed the original definition of what America stands for.

    In this story many of the children on Venus are jealous of Margot’s opportunities and previous life on earth. When children are jealous, they turn against Margot. One example is when she is reading the poem, instead of listening to Margot the students shut her down without even listening. Just because students are jealous it does not mean that they can bully Margot. While this is important theme it is easily seen that if it weren’t for Margot not thinking about what she said or did that this wouldn’t have happened, so overall the important point is that it is needed for everyone to take a minute an think about the results in the end from what they…
