Ray Bradbury is very well known for writing short stories. In the story, "All Summer In A Day", he tells about a little girl and the life on Venus. He lets the reader know what the characters are like and what they feel by their actions in the story. There are many different ways that Ray Bradbury describes the characters.
Margot is someone from earth who is very sad about not seeing the sun in so long. The others do not like her because they are jealous that she saw the sun when she was on earth. The other children might have seen the sun seven years ago but they do not remember it because they were only a couple of years old at the time. Margot does not speak much at all, because she is so sad. Whenever she speaks about the sun, the children do not believe that she has ever seen it. She wrote a poem about the sun but one of the boys in the class did not believe that she had written it. The poem was, "I think the sun is a flower, that blooms for just one hour.".
The other children were very cruel to Margot because she was quiet and different. The boys would push and shove her around just because she did not say anything back to one of the boys when he was asking her what she was looking at. Another reason that made me think that they were cruel to her was when one of the boys teamed up with the rest of the children in the classroom to shove Margot in the closet. They shoved her in there just because they thought that the sun was not going to come out that day and it was just going to keep raining. They were saying that it was all a joke.
Margot was originally from earth. She lived in Ohio and moved over to Venus when she was four. She still remembers the sun, the way it was, and the sky. The other children had been on Venus all of their lives. They were only two years old when the sun last came out. They would not ever remember the sun's color, heat and the way it really was. .
The teacher in the story seemed like she was clueless of how the rest of the children were treating Margot.
