Comparing All American Slurp And All Summer In A Day

Being accepted is hard when you are at is new place. You remember and miss those who you used to see every day. In the story “The All American Slurp” by Lensey Namioka and “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury both stories share the theme of acceptance. The stories show the hard parts of being in a new place and the parts that make you feel better.

Both characters are ashamed that they are different. This is shown when Margot writes a poem and William does not think she has experienced the sun but she remembers and is ashamed that she is not like the others. In TAAS this
