All Summer In A Day Plot
Written by a world famous science-fiction writer, Ray Bradbury, the __All Summer In A Day__ is set on planet Venus. Many years ago, the families of the 9 year olds of the story colonized the planet of Venus. At this time, Venus rains all day and night, and the last time the children have seen the sun was 7 years ago, when they were two. It is said that the sun comes out for two hour every seven years. One girl, named Margot, five years ago, moved to Venus. Since it was only five years ago, she still remembers the sun. She was described as a pail, thin girl who looks like the rain has washed away her soul. Margot is so tired and sick of living in the rain without sun that one time, she refused to take a shower at the school in the locker room because she refused to let the water touch her head. Because of her sensitivity and the rumor that she may return to earth, she is the outcast of the kids in the underground city where they live. The kids are jealous of her that she is able to remember the sun, and since the other kids were only two the last time they saw it, they don't remember it at all. She is writing a poem about the sun, and the other kids do not believe she wrote the poem so the students bully her continuously to the point where when the teacher leaves the classroom, they lock Margot in the closet. When the teacher comes back, she takes the children outside to play in the sun because the sun has come out for the first time in seven years. Getting caught up in their excitement, the children play and frolic in the sun, completely forgetting about Margot in the closet. After a little while, a little girl starts crying because she feels a raindrop. It starts thundering, so the children all run back inside. Suddenly, one of the kids realize that Margot is still in the closet. The children lowered their heads in guilt, none of them making a move to open the closet. Slowly, full of guilt, the kids go to the closet and let Margot out. The children locked the one who misses and needs the sun most out of all of them in the closet, while they were outside playing in the sun. Margot, still pale and sick of the rain, must wait another seven years to see the sun again.
