All Summer In a Day

“She was different and they knew her difference and kept away”... this is what Ray Bradbury writes in his story, All summer in a day. Margot is a girl in this story who wants to be accepted and fit in with the people on venus but she isn't sure how. For example she doesn't defend herself and she doesn't even attempt to try and socialize with the other kids.

One reason Margot doesn't fit in and isn't accepted is because *she doesn't defend herself. For example it says in the text “she let herself be moved only by him and nothing else,” this is important to notice because it shows us that margot doesn't care about the other kids yet she wants them to like and accept her. Second in the story Margot remembers the sun and

    Should Margot Survive For Five Years

    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.…

    Reflection On The Misfits

    “I’m on the right track, baby, I was born this way.” This is in the chorus of one of my favorite songs by Lady Gaga called “Born This Way.” It is a self-empowerment tune that tells the listeners to accept themselves for who they are. In my childhood, I was exposed to a novel that changed my life. The Misfits by James Howe, like the Lady Gaga song, conveys a message of self-acceptance.…

    The Theme Of Reality In Jerry Spinelli's 'Stargirl'

    What if our conception of reality is false, or what if reality doesn’t even exist? Stargirl, a young adult novel by Jerry Spinelli, challenges our notion of reality as being a binary opposition favoring reality over the unreal. This binary can be found throughout the novel, but is especially evident during chapter two when the students struggle to make sense of Stargirl, the new student at Mica Area High School. This chapter begins with the very exclusive judgement that “[Stargirl is] not real,” and closes with “Stargirl [is] real” (7, 12). Since Stargirl has not changed throughout this chapter, many assume that there is conflict behind the connotation of the word “real;” however, the binary opposition of reality is actually an erroneously-founded…
