What Happens When Summer Meets August

Prediction: I predict that when Summer meets August she will think what other kids think. Then when she gets used his face she treats him like a normal person. Then August won’t feel so bad about his face. Summer will introduce her friends to August and they will get used to August’s face after they think he ugly.

Response to prediction: I got part of it right again. The part that I got right was the part where Summer gets used to August’s face. The rest was wrong. The part that I really liked was when Summer told Jack a hint of why August doesn’t like him.

Summary: So what happened today was Summer describing how it

Like how each person writes a certain way, both Kettler and Hinton use their own distinct diction in their poems to achieve and convey their purpose.…

    All Summer In A Day Essay

    Did you know that Venus’ average surface temperature is 462 degrees celsius! This is one of the many reasons why I think that Ray Bradbury’s - “All Summer in a Day” setting isn’t possible. Venus is a different planet from earth. It has constant rain, and has wildly different surface temperatures. The mass of the planet is much greater than of Earth’s. These different circumstances on Venus, are very hard for humans to adapt to coming from Earth. Since the atmospheric pressure is 92 times greater than earth, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system, and Venus’ atmosphere is made up of Carbon Dioxide, I believe that we won’t be able to colonize on Venus, as shown in the setting of “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury.…
