Register to read the introduction… Soon as summer arrives, I like taking a trip to the beach. The first thing that I like to do when I arrive at the beach is to get my feet wet. Then I grab my snorkels and swim out to the rocks, where I like to look for colorful fish. I also enjoy searching for seashells, and fishing from the piers. Summer is also a good time to have a barbeque and eat watermelon. Of course, it wouldn’t be summer without the Fourth of July celebration. I always walk down the street from my house to watch the parade. Later in the evening, I’ll find somewhere to watch fireworks. Like summer; winter can also be a lot of fun.

    “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury, is a science fiction short story. Bradbury included a one of a kind setting, superior characterization, and an ending that allowed readers to create their own, using their imagination. The setting was unique and I would have never thought of an imaginable place like Venus.

    In this excerpt from A Summer Life, Gary Soto recounts a memory from his early childhood. As he walks through his memory, Soto recalls the effects sin had on his still developing mind; however, looking back as an adult, Soto realizes that the root cause of his naive fear was his Catholic upbringing. Soto satirizes the Church in an attempt to prevent the perpetuation of the overbearing “Catholic guilt” on younger generations through the use of this powerful anecdote.

    Many theories have been proposed on what exactly would take place post nuclear war via multiple works of fiction. Stories like "There Will Come Soft Rains" and even games such as the Fallout series present their own ideas on what the world will be like after it has been engulfed in nuclear fire. These representations are all incredibly interesting and provocative. However, in the story, "Searching for Summer," readers are presented with a world where most have given up hope. Interestingly enough, the story does not go for the "rugged waist-land" stereotype, but instead introduces its readers subtly to the moral and ethical issues that have amassed over the years due nuclear fallout.…
