Climatic Conditions In All Summer In A Day By Ray Bradbury
In the short story, “All Summer in A Day” by Ray Bradbury, many details in the setting that pertain to the climatic conditions. The reason that the climatic condition are so special in this novel is because rain is always falling (Stated on Pg. 91), and every seven years, the sun comes out (Stated on Pg. 92). The people who live in this rainy climate all live on the planet Venus. On Venus, excessive torrential downpour constantly occurs for years on end. While all of this sounds unrealistic, the author does a good job convincing the reader that these conditions are possible. For example, readers might think this is fake because they know that in comparison to Earth, there is a lot more rain. The author convinces the reader by validating that
statement, and uses details like “a thousand forests...crushed by the rain and grown up a thousand times again. This detail causes the reader to think that Venus is a whole different animal compared to earth. Also, the author makes the climatic conditions slightly logical, so people will think that they can happen. For example, the detail of sun only coming every seven years for two hours can cause the reader to think of it like a storm, and when the eye of the storm comes, there is sun.
