Summary Of All Summer In A Day
“All Summer in a Day”, by Ray Bradbury is about a girl named Margot who comes to Venus from Earth. The other kids are jealous of her and lock her in a closet because she remembers and misses the sun. At the heart of jealousy is an insecure person who doesn’t have something they need or want, which can lead to criticism, scrutiny, and hatred.

    The movie and the book are alike and different. One of the biggest reasons that they are the same is that in both the video and the text the setting is on the planet Venus. Another similarity is that in both the sun comes out for only one hour. One big difference between the two is that in the book, the children didn’t give Margot flowers at the end, but they did in the movie. Another difference is that in the video, the rain had not stopped for nine years, but in the short story, it had not stopped for 7 years. Finally, a reason that they are different is that Margot was not as shy in the movie as she was in the book. These are 5 ways that the movie and the text are…

    When I first heard the title and the plot of the film (excluding the names of the characters), I thought okay this is about a guy and how he spend his 500 days of summer. Summer that is the season I mean. But when I watched the film for the first time, that is when I realized, Summer is a name. Name of the love interest of Tom Hansen, the main actor. I like the way they did with the title, that it seemed it has a dual meaning.…

    The reason for this behavior is that the children's envy of Margot poisons their mind and makes them feel like Margot has something they do not have, which is seeing the sun, and they need to make it even and not let her see the sun; the children therefore exhibiting Hammurabi's "Eye for an eye" policy by locking her up. The children stuffing Margot in the closet displays the "State of War" nature in humans, for the jealousy in the children is making them feel like Margot is intentionally hurting them which makes them display an act of revenge by locking her in the closet, resulting in a "State of War". The children's behavior to Margot displays multiple acts of cruelty which buds from their jealousy towards her, showing us that society must change their views on new ideas and different types of people, and only then can we as humanity take a step to making our world…

    My first reason to support why Margot wants to be excepted but doesn't know how is because she doesn’t know how to socialize, when everybody was bunched together waiting for the rain to stop she stood apart from them and didn’t say anything to anybody or even go near them. This shows she is shy because she is different than the other kids. Also when Margot read her poem…

The story takes place on the day of sun. Margot, the main character, is a young girl who moved from earth when she was an infant. Throughout both the both the short story and film is excluded from the class and bullied by a young boy named William. Both the film and short story have many similarities and differences; I personally like the story better because the setting is in your imagination, I don’t like how William is portrayed, and the ending.…
