Getting Used to a New World

"All Summer In a Day" By Ray Bradbury talks about a community in the planet Venus. The rain is something that for them, the citizens, is common in there daily life, The children from the school haven't seen the sun since they were born, except from Margot, a girl who was born in the planet Earth and has seen the sun before.
But after seven years now she will finally will see the sun again but this time she will see it from Venus.The day comes along and the sun didn't came out. The only thing Margot talk and think was the sun and how it was it. Everyone from her class disturb her because she was the only person in the class to see the sun before. William of her classmates decided to lock her in a closet and so they he did. After some time the sun came out and they completely forget about Margot. They have one hour until the sun goes off. But when they're time was off they remembered about Margot.

"But they were running and turning their faces up to the sky and feeling the sun on their cheeks like a warm iron"

Ray Bradbury uses imagery to make the reader feel like they are inside of the story and to attract more to the reader.






'' And this was because she would play no games with them in the echoing tunnels of the underground city."

Ray Bradbury also uses indirect characterization to make reader understand better how a character is or how a setting looks like. In this example we can that he uses characterization to show that Margot is very shy with his classmates.


This story is very good and show us that we don't need to disrespect people just because they come from another place and look different than you, we always need to treat people the way they treat us.
