    I think a recurring theme in “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury is faith. The story revolves around faith or lack thereof.

    Summer in A Day helps show the flaws in human nature by the way Bradbury makes the children so quick to disagree with Margot. One example is when Bradbury is describing Margot’s appearance. Margot was a “very frail girl” who appeared as though she was left in the rain and it had “washed out the blue from her eyes” and “the yellow from her hair”(Bradbury pg. 2). This shows how Margot was different from the others by the way Bradbury details Margot’s appearance as a dreary colorless person. It shows
