“Well children, I believe the sun will be paying us a visit today.” Miss Sean says. I glance at Margot, admiring her beauty from afar. I’m happy she’s not looking back, but she’s gazing out the window. She’s earth born. She told us everything about what it was like on earth. How she got to see the sun every day, How she got to eat different foods every day, And didn't have to use the sun lamps. Honestly, I find it hard to believe that she saw the sun everyday. Margot came here about a year ago. Ever since she came, I've had a huge crush on her. Every seven years, it is said that the sun is going to come out. The rain will recede, and the light from the sun will show through. But, the only thing is that …show more content…
Then it goes away and doesn't come back for another seven years. I've only seen the sun once, and that was when I was seven. Now, i’m fourteen and i’m ready to see the sun. Today in class we are reading the poems we made in front of the class. I’m kind of excited to hear Margot’s. “Margot? Would you like to come up first and read your poem to the class?” Miss Sean asks. “Uhm…” She stutters. “Yeah, Sure.” She says after a while. She holds her paper in her shaking hands, And walks up to the front of the classroom in front of the white board. “I think the sun is a flower.” She stutters, But continues. “And, that sun flower, only blooms for an hour.” She looks around, nervous. “YOU DIDN'T WRITE THAT!!!” I yell at her. “William,” The teacher scolds. My cheeks flush red, and I busy myself with my paper. A little while later, and the sun still hasn't come out. We don’t know if margot was right about her assumption, but were hoping. The teacher walks out of the room, and me and mark look at each other. We have the same idea. Margot is looking for a pencil in the open closet, So we …show more content…
We latch the door closed after we slammed it after we shoved her in. We skip back to our seats and slide in them before the teacher comes back. The rain finally starts to recede again, so we all crowd to the window. The rain finally came to a stop. The teacher announces that we are going outside to enjoy the sun. We see a light peering through the clouds. We all run outside, staring at the sun. “Go have fun children!” Ms. Sean says. We play, forgetting all the troubles in the world. Happy. Free. So happy that I forgot about Margot. We lay in the sunny rays, hoping to absorb every bit of it. We stomp in the puddles, and pick flowers. We all enjoy the sun's company when Tammy feels raindrops on her nose. We slowly walk back inside, When I remember Margot. The teacher has to leave to the office for a minute. Me and Mark run to the closest to let her out. We open the door, and her eyes are puffy and red from crying. She gives me a disappointed look, But sits down at her desk. That’s
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.
Now I wished that I could pen a letter to my school to be read at the opening assembly that would tell them how wrong we had all been. You should see Zachary Taylor, I’d say.” Lily is realizing now that beauty comes in all colors. She is also again being exposed to the fact that her way of being raised was wrong, that years and years of history was false. “The whole time we worked, I marveled at how mixed up people got when it came to love.
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.
It was a sunny day with a sweet aroma of blooming tulips. The sunlight glittered on their faces as the breeze rattled the chestnut tree above. There was an occasional giggle as they talked, but there was also a hint of discomfort and awkwardness between them as they peeked at each other’s face and recoiled when the other looked up. When the bell rang twice, I saw them say goodbye and walk away from each other. In the darkness of the crowd, a glimmer flashed into my eyes from Hannah’s cheeks.
When the children of the school slept, they would twitch, as they were thinking of being under the sun’s warm rays of light. They would wake up depressed, wishing that they could once more see and feel the sun. Going back to the example of which Margot was shoved into a closet, all of the students at the school let their emotions of wanting the sun and not wanting to be lied to, get in the way of Margot’s freedom. This was done very well as the details earlier set the story to be about a loner girl, who had no friends. It wouldn’t seem to make very much sense if some she had been just put in the closet with no regards to the past. This all had done an excellent job of giving the visualization that the children about this school would persecute anyone that talked about the sun and they didn’t believe. Without these elements combined, the reader, without a doubt, could not tell what was
Margot and her classmates live on Venus. The Sun only comes out once every seven years, but the children are nine. Margot moved to Venus when she was four. The other children envy her because she remembers the sun, unlike them. On the day the Sun comes out, the other children lock Margot in a closet. “They could not meet each other’s glances. . .they unlocked the door, even more slowly.” They realized they were out of line and took their jealousy too far.
Margot goes to school with classmates that resent her. They hate her for having seen the sun, something they wanted so badly. This jealousy led to an overwhelming hatred that they were reminded of any time they saw her. Her classmates let their hatred take over and they locked her in a closet as revenge for the pain she had caused them all. But unlike Wendy and Peter from The Veldt, Margot was affected negatively from her classmateś actions.
It’s always cold and raining, and the sun only comes out for two hours on one day every seven years. Margot is a schoolgirl who moved from planet Earth. She’s depressed because she misses the sun and the other children don’t seem to like her. On the day the sun comes out, the other children lock Margot in a closet so that she can’t see the sun.
As the sun began to hide behind the clouds and began to rain, Margot felt the rain to drip down her face. As she stood in the rain, her classmates then came to give her the flowers that they had got for them.
As shown above, the nonexisting sun played an immense role throughout the story. It was like the cause for the conflict and the central idea of the plot. It was also the element that caused the external conflict. The lack of sun and the constant presence of rain made this story. Overall, the setting was a major aspect in the story. To conclude, Bradbury highlights the conflict between Margot and her classmates by using a strong plot, a detailed setting, and
In the story, a classroom of kids are living on Venus, where all it does is rain. The children cannot remember a time where there wasn’t nonstop downpour of rain. One child, Margot, who transferred to Venus from Earth has seen the sun. The children don’t believe she has seen the sun, because jealousy brings them to deny Margot’s words. The kids obviously don’t have control over the sun and rain. That is why the presence of the sun every
protested one of the boys. ‘I did,’ said Margot, ‘I did.’” This supports the theme because the boy is jealous that Margot wrote an exceptional poem, while he cannot remember the Sun in the first place. The second piece of evidence is, “‘What’re you looking at?’ said William. Margot said nothing.
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
Bonnie the secretary introduced me to my new teacher. As Mrs. Bonnie was leaving the room, my new teacher Mrs. Evaheart introduced me to the class. As I stared at the class I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. I wanted to go back to my old school where I had friends, knew almost everyone, a place where I didn’t feel lonesome, a place anywhere but here. As I saw each and every one of my new classmates faces the utter dread that I felt slowly began to fade as I saw a familiar face. Seeing one of my former friends give me a renewed hope that maybe being in this school won’t be so bad after
I awoke to the sun piercing through the screen of my tent while stretching my arms out wide to nudge my friend Alicia to wake up. “Finally!” I said to Alicia, the countdown is over. As I unzip the screen door and we climb out of our tent, I’m embraced with the aroma of campfire burritos that Alicia’s mom Nancy was preparing for us on her gargantuan skillet. While we wait for our breakfast to be finished, me and Alicia, as we do every morning, head to the front convenient store for our morning french vanilla cappuccino. On our walk back to the campsite we always take a short stroll along the lake shore to admire the incandescent sun as it shines over the gleaming dark blue water. This has become a tradition that we do every morning together
