In All Summer In A Day and The Stolen Party, we learn that one person’s selfishness may lead to another person’s distress and unhappiness. Ray Bradbury and Liliana Hecker, the authors, each communicate this idea by applying the theme repeatedly throughout their stories and by using similar author’s crafts. Although it is quite clear that the message behind these stories are very similar, some still argue that these shorts have nearly nothing in common. While this claim may be true in some readers’ eyes, if these stories are carefully evaluated, it is obvious that their themes are very comparable.
In these short stories, Bradbury and Hecker each use many aspects of author’s crafts, the most prominent being symbolism and imagery.
