All Summer in a Day Essay
It is another typical day, the heavy rain keeps falling down as if it were to never stop. There is only one flicker of hope inside that tells us that it will all be over soon, and one day our eyes will be able to have the opportunity to see the bright and sizzing sun once and for all. All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury, is a story in which may include one of the best morals there is to learn, which is to never judge anyone for their differences, but for the kind of person that they truly are.
As human beings, we are always wanting something new, either sentimentally or materialistically. However, in the case of a nine year old girl named Margot the only thing that she truly desired was to see the sun again. Since she lives in the planet Venus, where an ordinary day never excludes the rain, for her to see the sun again a miracle would have to occur. Margot who is actually from Earth is very timid and has no interest in interacting with kids her age. This is the main reason why she doesn't have any friends who can support her when she is feeling depressed.
Even though Margot's shyness isolated her a lot from the rest of her class, when she heard that scientists were predicting sunlight in the skies, she instantly felt as if her heart was going to explode from excitement. This was all she had ever wanted for five long years, and now that she knew that the kids in her class would see the sun too made it even better. They would never call her liar anymore or accuse her of not knowing anything about the sun.
The day had arrived, minutes and hours passed but still no sun. It was obvious that tension was in the air however, Margot still never lost hope. People in her class were getting very impatient but one in paricualr, William who would always bother Margot for no reason. Something that is normal for any kid that is jealous because of unexperienced events, in this case seeing the sun. After he and the class got tired of waiting, William started to call Marogt a liar and ended up locking her in a room as a "joke". This was such a selfish act because, eventually the sun did come out and when he and the class were enjoying the beautiful day, Margot was locked up and unable to do anything about it.
