Summary Of All Summer In A Day
The short story “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury is about a class of nine year old students on Venus. Most of the class does not remember what the sun looks like because it comes out shortly every seven years. One girl however, Margot, remembers the sun from when she lived on Earth five years ago. One message from the story sheds light on the tone of the story, further describes this key secluded girl in the class, and introduces a conflict between the rest of the class and her that allows for more conflict later-on.
The passage on page two first gives further incite to the main character, Margot. As written on page one, it states she is a nine year-old girl who is in a class on Venus, where it rains all the time except for every seventh

    1. The one aspect of Soto's life that was most interesting is when he had the three chicks. Soto had three chicks in his back yard that he was raising. He seemed fascinated by the way they just pecked around his back yard, blinked rapidly, and slept standing up. The chicks used to crawl on his shoes. He thought it was cute until one of the chicks defecated on his shoe. That angered Gary and he kicked sand in the chicks eyes. He immediately felt bad after what he had just done. This is the part of the story that made me laugh. It made me laugh because as the chapter went on, Gary became very protective of the chicks. When he kicked sand in the chicks eyes, it was very alarming. He seemed not to be a violent person.…
