Don't Let Mean People Bring You Down

     Authors Note: Have you ever felt like someone strongly disliked you it might just be that you have something they don't. This story is called "All In A Summer's Day" by Ray Bradbury. And maybe you will understand if you read his short about life on Venus. That people will be mean but doesn't always mean they hate you.
Do you ever wonder what life might be like on another planet? Well Ray Bradbury wrote an entire short story about his outlook on how life how it would be on a different planet like Venus. And how people would respond to someone like Margot the main character on their planet because she constantly believes that the sun will come out eventually when everyone doesn’t.

In addition the story is basically about a girl named Margot who believes that the sun will come out because she is from Earth and all the kids from Venus have never seen the sun because it has been raining for seven years. So Margot is constantly saying” I think the sun is flower, that blooms for just one hour”. A poem she wrote about the sun. And saying that “it’s going to stop, it will, it will”.
       
Furthermore, she would always get teased because William is the bully of the story. But everybody goes along with what he is thinking because they’re scared that if they object against what he would say that he would pick on them. But the reason that William despises Margot is because she has seen the sun and he hasn’t. But when she goes missing everyone freaks out. They act out because Margot brings light to their dreary lives on Venus.

So reason why Ray Bradbury wrote that story is to prove that even if the setting isn’t right a story can still be a realistic fiction because they characters have real characteristics like jealousy and sadness. And they have real human qualitys and emotions. So the reason I wrote analytical report about this short story”All in a summer’s day” because I have had similar problems. So the next time someone treats you like how William treated Margot it might just be that you have something that they desire.
