All Summer in a Day

This short story written by Ray Bradbury is abouta new civilization created in a planet called Venus, in wivh the sun only comes out every seven years and just for a while. The story tells of some kids that are in school and that dont remember how sun is because the first time they saw it they were to little. There is one particular girl called Margot that do remember the sun because she wasnt that little the last time she saw it so in the only thing she thibks about is the SUN. She is a lonely girl that is bodered by the rest of his classmates. When Margot shared what she remember about sun but the kids being always mean with her say that she was lying. Until one day the kids locked up Margot in the closet and left her there. After a while the teacher came to the class and tell the kids if they are ready to go out and see the sun because finally after seven years the sun came out again. The kids happily went with the teacher and enjoyed the sun as much as the sun went away again. When it satrted raining again like if it was a avalanche and they had to go back to the classroom. Once they were inside again one girl remembered Margot was still inside the closet. The kids took Margot out the closet and she couldnt see the sun as she wanted for seven years.

"The sky darkened into midnight in a flash.
They stood in the doorway of the underground for a moment until it was raining hard. Then they closed the door and heard the gigantic sound of the rain falling in tons and avalanches, everywhere and forever". 

Here Ray Bradbury uses the sense of sight and sound by describing how the rain came again and the terrible sound it made. In the picture we can see a very rainy and cold day that makes no one want to go outside. The sound of the rain was so strong that it was like the sun never came out and it was so cold that is like the only seson they have is winter. 



The main character of the story is Margot, she is a very quiete and lonely girl that wants to go back to live in the Earth. She is very respectfull with his classmateseven they treat her badly. 

When the class sang songs about happiness and life and games her lips barely moved. 
This shows that Margot not happy of his life because when the class sings happy song she dosent sing so it shows that he really wants sun back because if it only rains then is like sad day but when is sunny it is like happy day so Margot looks sad.
