In the story it says, “About how it was like a lemon, it was, and how hot . . . I think the sun is a flower, That blooms for just one hour.” This connects back to my idea that outcasts are sometimes the solution to society’s problems. Due to this quote, Margot’s statement about the sun is what makes her an outsider in the eyes of society. Later in the passage, it is revealed that Margot’s statement about the sun was correct and solved the problem of what the children think the sun resembles.
The characterization that Ray Bradbury gave Margot was shy. She was shy because she never talked in school. For example, in the story it said ‘’well don’t wait around here.’cried the boy savagely “you won’t see nothing” her lips moved. “nothing” he cried. When the boy talked to her she didn’t say anything because she was too shy. The only thing she was confident about, is talking about the sun. She knows for sure that it is going to come, even when everyone else doesn’t think so. Margot is also very unlucky. She has been waiting a long time to be able to see the sun again, but unfortunately she was stuck in a closet and didn’t get to see the sun.
One possible main idea is that this short story is about how actions lead to regret. Support for this theme comes at the end of the story, where the children are described as stakes driven into the ground. This regret came after the children denied Margot the ability to be out in the sun after it had finally come out. Another theme is that the allure of rare things or events can induce powerful emotions. Support for this is present during the end of the story, where the kids run around in the sun and experience joy like never before. A final argument for the theme can be made of the idea that people never realize how much things are worth until they are gone. Evidence for this theme takes form in the shape of a depressed Margot, who is always sad and moping in the story, something that the author says is because she misses the sun on Earth. Although all of these themes have some support, none of have enough evidence and backing to be the true
The universal themes that are used in the story are racism and better the young.”And mothers and fathers, if it is too late for you, think of your children. Make it safe so they don't have to run away, for I want for you and your children what I had.”( Baker, 83) These themes are universal because both talk about things that has happened multiple times. Like better the young. We want the young to be the greatest generation and not make the mistakes we had made. The children of each generation need to be better than the last generations. The other theme racism. Racism was back then and it is now. The theme talks about the racism in the past and in the present and in the future. Racism will be the theme for lots of things in the present but also

William and his peers scorn Margot which brings upon her loneliness and unhappiness. An example of this is, “They edged away from her, they would not look at her. She felt them go away… And then, of course, the biggest crime of all was that

The story starts off with these children bullying Margot out of jealousy of how she was able to remember and picture the sun, and because she was quiet and continued to allow it to happen. For instance, “when the class sang songs about happiness and life and games her lips barely moved. Only when they sang about the sun and the summer did her lips move as she watched the drenched windows.” It’s clear how this quote shows that her memory of the sun was
