However, they asked her to play with them, but she said no. Margot says, “It’s like a penny,” and then her classmates say, “No it’s not!”, then Margot keeps on going, “It’s like a fire, in the stove”, the children reply, “You’re lying, you don’t remember!”(Bradbury, 1954). Furthermore, this shows that her classmates don’t want her to be right because they are jealous of her. They are mean to Margot, because she is the only one with the memory of the sun. This is significant because jealousy clouds the children’s judgement. The children do more to hurt Margot Additionally, another way Bradbury portrays theme is when the children constantly harass Margot and don’t leave her alone. An example of that is how William, one of Margot’s classmates, won’t leave her in peace. Margot is looking out the window into the rain, and William interrupts, “What’re you looking at?,” Margot doesn’t reply and William gets angered, “Speak when you’re spoken to.” (Bradbury, 1954). This shows how they will not leave Margot alone, just because she remembers the sun. This is significant because Margot cannot be left alone without one of her classmates harassing
