"All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury exemplifies the themes of bullying and deprivation. Bradbury traces the impact of these themes on child development and human relationships. The story explores the effects of bullying, deprivation, and preconceived ideas about 'Otherness'. A common theme in Bradbury's writing is the impact of bullying on parent-child relationships.The novella All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury was first published in a magazine for science fiction and fantasy in 1954. It is a story about bullying, set on a planet where the sun only shines once every seven years. The main character, Margot, is a nine-year-old girl who comes from Earth to live on Venus. In the novel, she becomes a victim of bullying because she is not able to see the sun.Margot's attempt to describe the sun
In her poem, Margot compares the sun to a flower. While she knows that the sun is hot, she doesn't know that it is also a coin. A coin is round and copper colored, so we can safely assume that the sun is not too far away. If we look at the photo of a penny, however, we see that the sun is very hot. So, what exactly is the sun, anyway?In this story, Margot, a student on Venus, is about to see the sun for the first time in seven years. As she is describing the sun to her classmates, the students laugh at her and push her. One of her classmates, William, starts a bully campaign against her because she's the only one who knows anything about the sun. Eventually, William leads the bullies against her, and Margot is locked up in a closet and deprived of the precious sun she's been longing for.Margot's teasing by other children
Margot is a little different from the other children at her school. She knows more about the sun than anyone else in the class, and the other kids are jealous. They also don't believe her when she says the sun will come out. Margot is one of many examples of how people bully each other when they are different from each other. Bullies want everyone to be like them, but we are all different and it is our differences that cause bullying.The other kids tease Margot for her poem about the sun. When the sun briefly shines on Venus, a boy yells at her. The children then lock her in her closet, and release her when the sun goes back up. Margot's teasing by other children all summer in a dayMargot's reaction to a single raindrop
Margot has spent the last five years on Venus. Back on Earth, she recalls the warm sun, but on Venus, the sun is a stranger. Margot is sultry and pale, like an old photograph that has been dusted off a school album. The other children get upset with her and tease her. When her teacher is away, she is locked in a closet.The sun shines for two hours every seven years on Venus, so it should come as no surprise that a child who lived for seven years on Earth could remember the sun. This fact makes Margot a superior character to other children, especially those who have only experienced Earth once or twice. Margot's knowledge of the sun enables her to remember the sun's character better than the other kids.
