Ray Bradbury's 'All Summer In A Day'

All Summer in a Day teaches readers that sadness is an important key in life because you can't always be happy. In paragraph two we are Ray Bradbury’s All Summer in a Day teaches readers to be thankful for what they have. If the children in the story would just think about what they have, they would appreciate it more. They would no longer crave more and would not do unnecessary things to get what they want. The kids are so Jealous and unthankful for what they have they will do anything to get what they think they need. The kids aren’t thinking about the other girl they think it is unfair she has seen the sun so they lock her in a closet.The children should appreciate, that they are the first children on the planet Venus. “The children of the rocket men and women who had come to a raining world to set up a civilization.” Just because it is always raining that doesn’t mean that they don’t get to have fun or normal childhoods.
The kids are very Jealous of Margot and think it is unfair she has seen the sun therefore, they lock her up. So the kids lock her in a closet so she can not see the sun. In the end they are sad that they hurt her and feel bad that she didn’t see the sun. All Margot ever wanted was to see the sun and she never got to because of the actions of her classmates. Their jealousy drove them over the edge and made them result in unnecessary actions. Certainly it could be said jealousy is the theme while this is a good point, it fails to account for kids being unthankful shows up
