As Margot came out of the closet, she started to cry again. She cried faintly in the room.
“I didn’t mean to do that. I don’t know what I was thinking” said William.
“I was just so jealous you’ve seen the sun before. I had to do something. I’m sorry.” Margot only kept crying.
“What’s going on in here?” asked the teacher. “We pushed Margot in the closet and locked her in there so she couldn’t see the sun” the children said in sync.
“Margot! Is this true?!” Margot nodded her head and came to a stop in crying.

    How does Margot survive for five years without seeing the sun and instead being drenched with rain on Venus. Margot has not seen the sun for about 5 years and it is about to come out for the first time in five years. What my thoughts on this are that Margot should be more grateful because other kids seen the sun seven years ago but have no memory of it because they were two years old. So Margot should stop acting so impatient because, She has seen the sun more than any of the other kids because she lived on earth for four years of her life. The other kids need more of a chance to see the sun more than she does because they can't even remember what the sun looks like, and finally Margot should just be grateful that she saw the sun for longer and she hasn't lived on venus her whole life.…

    The students were ashamed, and they let her out of the closet, standing frozen, embarrassed over what they have done, and the students were not even able to make eye contact with Margot, because of what they have done.

For example, when the students were walking down the hallway, they listening to rain, because they were saddened at the fact that the sun was gone, and then “They turned through the doorway to the room in the sound of the storm and thunder, lightning on their faces, blue and terrible…” (pg.4), and they felt this way, because they realized that Margot was correct about the sun, and beautiful it is.
