Ray Bradburry All Summer In A Day Analysis

Decent Essays
Ray Bradburry’s All summer in a Day Teaches readers to not bully or be jelous over somthing you cant controll because it could lead to a serious hate or bulling another person.

My Evidance is that in the story all her classmates start to tease her or shout and yell at her because they are jelous of her because she remembers what the sun is like. Also they think that Margot is lying about the sun. Then on page two third paragraph William gave Margot a shove.

Although she got bullied it was because they thought Margot was lying and was just tricking them and they didnt belief her or the scientist who predicted that the sun was going to come out for two hours today.

On the same day the sun was supposed to come out Margots classmates
