The way the author has described the kids’ imaginations of the sun is really cute. But in the end they realize their mistake and also realize how painful it must have been for her to abandon the warmth of the sun and live on the Venus. The characters or the children, except Margot, are portrayed at first in a negative light when they try to mess around with Margot but it was due to their resentment towards her, which is quite natural. His simple words and clear descriptions portray a vivid image in your head upon reading. He has also used a variety of metaphors to make the foreign situation familiar and easy for us. Since it’s set up in a different planet altogether, the author quickly explains the complications and restrictions of the new world. ‘All summer in a day’ by Ray Bradbury is based on the struggle of Margot, a sad soul stuck on a place she doesn’t want to be. Behind the doors, no noise was to be heard, they slowly open the door and Margot emerges. They all feel bad for what they have done and anxiously they go to unlock her. They stand there for a moment, disappointed but at the same time happy with the experience, and return back to their classroom.Īs they enter the hallway, one of the students reminds that they have forgotten to unlock Margot. They all look up at the sky and see that it’s raining again.
After some time a kid screams as a big raindrop falls on her skin. The kids run out into the lawn and enjoy the warmth of the sun but no one remembers Margot.
The rain finally stops and the sun comes out in all its glory.
The teachers returns and along with the children, they go to the tunnel’s exit. She was standing near the window, waiting for the sun when a few boys taunt her saying it was all a joke and the sun’s never coming out while some others lock her in a cupboard when the teacher wasn’t present there. Margot was most excited to see the sun once again, to feel its warmth. She’s always quite depressed for the same reason. Margot, a thin & pale girl, used to live in Ohio (Earth) until she was five hence she still remembers the details and misses the sun badly. But this is true for all the children except Margot, who’s resented by all the children. In other words, they literally don’t remember anything about it.
The sun had been out before once when the kids were just two years old so they don’t remember anything except a warmth like a blush on the face and something similar to a study lamp’s light. The Flower-School Poem by Rabindranath Tagore
