Margot Gets Bullied In All Summer In A Day
“Get away!” The boy gave another push “What’re you waiting for?” This is just one of the ways Margot gets bullied in “All Summer In A Day” by Ray Bradbury. Margot wants to be accepted, but doesn’t know how. Two ways this happens is she doesn’t know how to socialize into that group, and she has little understanding of defense.

One of the reasons that Margot wants to be accepted, but doesn’t know how is she doesn’t know how to socialize into that group. First, the other kids hate her. They think that Margot, a shy girl, is lying about almost everything she does. Including her memories, and her possible future. Everything. This is why they hate her. According to what I read I know she spends her time looking outside at the endless rain because

    | Anne says this in frustration after Mrs. Van Daan yells at her for spilling milk on her coat. This expresses another Anne because it suggests that Anne sees herself changing, that she envisions a different self. I feel that Anne says this because to her, everybody in the Annex shows more favoritism to Margot then her, especially her mother. On the outside it seems Anne can’t always control her temper, as she strives to be more like Margot, who is patient and calm. On the inside, she is jealous of Margot, wanting to have more of an attitude like hers, and convey a better personality to others, contrary to what she’s done. Also Anne is younger, so it is understandable that she'd look up to an older sibling. I can relate to this because many times in our family, I feel as if my parents favor my older sibling over me. I have the same feelings as expressed in this quote, as it is hard to be more mature than somebody older. This quotation suggests change in Anne, as she herself wants to change, and be more socially civil rather than her normal self. Though it conveys negativity on Anne’s character, as she is losing her temper, it also shows maturity, as she is maturing. This quote shows that she is maturing because she now realizes her impact on others, and wants to be more like Margot, who is quite a role model to her. Some questions that occurred were: * Will Anne keep maturing as she is already? *…

    In other words, she sees the looks teachers give her, and it inspires her to do better in her school work and prove to them that her image does not define her personality. Her mother tries to get her to act like the rich kid she is, but the more her mother tries, the more she rejects the idea and rebels. She wears black and dyes her hair unnatural colors to hide where she really comes from, a rich family. She also hides her love for playing piano because she does not want to be classified as a rich kid, but doing so gets classified as a punk or a goth.

    Most 6-year old girls like to play with dolls and dress up like princesses, but that’s one of the things that make Scout different from others, she acts like a boy in many ways. She prefers enthusiastically running behind a ball with Jem, her older brother and their friend Dill or resselling in the dirt with a classmate. In the beginning of the novel, Scout treats the people around her without any respect and picks fights at the slightest provocation. For example when Scout beats up Walter Cunningham, a classmate “ for not having his lunch with him”.

    One of the first cracks in Scout’s armour of naïveté occurs due to the fact that she speaks her mind. On Scout’s first day of school Scout tries to explain to her teacher that she is embarrassing Walter Cunningham by offering him something that he will not be able to pay back. Scout realizes that because her teacher is not a local, she will not know that about the Cunningham’s, but Scout's explanation gets her into trouble. When Scout explains “Walter’s one of the Cunningham’s,” (26), she was not trying to be insulting, but Miss Caroline mistakes her frank and innocent explanation as arrogance or rudeness and punishes her for it. Scout's perception of the world and her classmates is not yet marred by the social divisions that adults see. When Scout has Walter over for a meal Scout really does insult Walter this time as she questions the way he eats by saying “But he’s gone and drowned…
