The story “All Summer In A Day” by Ray Bradbury shows us how mean and envious people can be. A little girl, who moved from sunny Earth with her parents to the rainy Venus, becomes an outcast among her peers. She is not like other kids who don’t know what is like to live under the sun all the time. She remembers the sun very clearly and she is hoping to return to the Earth one day. Margot is different from other kids in many ways: she does not play much with other children, she doesn’t like to take shower because of disgusting feeling to get wet, and she even writes the poem about the sun. Kids feel that and get jealous and angry. I believe children can’t hide the emotions such as jealousy, anger or dislike. They release them freely and do not think about consequences. In this story they lock Margot in the closet and run to play in the warm fresh air until the hour of sun is up.
Children become adults and they learn how to behave appropriately in society; however, feelings can’t go away, they follow us everywhere we go. I guess the author shows us a good example that people will always have negative feelings to each other no matter how old they are.
