In the great story, All Summer in a Day, written by Ray Bradbury, the author is describing a society on Venus, where there is constant rainstorms and where the sun only comes out every seven years. The story takes place in a school classroom on Venus. As the only one that remember how sun shines in the sky, Margot tell her classmates about how the sunshine glows on the Earth, but no one believe her words. Therefore, Margot becomes the one who gets isolated from the other classmates and locked in the closet. When the rain is about to stop and sun is about to appear, the teacher brings these children up to Venus’ surface to look at the sun, and the children just realized that they forgot Margot after Venus starts to rain again.
Throughout the story, we can see how these children are jealous of Margot just because they don’t remember what the sun looks like, and Margot knows more than they do. Also, I think the overall story presents a good observation about human nature. We can see this when Margot’s classmates are jealous of her unique experience and how “excited” these children act after they see the sun. I think the children’s chaotic excitement can also show us how people want to express their feelings in a repressed dystopian society. In conclusion, I think All Summer in a Day greatly represents several different aspects of human nature.
