Rainy Days
Author's Note~ In this literature analysis essay read as i will explain how Ray Bradbury tells the challenge of dealing with bullies.
The short story, All Summer in a Day, by Ray Bradbury talks about sadness and bulling of young children. Bradbury was able to connect to the readers mind as well. In effect, the author was able to take control of the readers mind and refer it to what some young children face today.
As many children face: bullies can be there greatest enemies. Long days of being bullied occur around all areas of the world; will remain to be for a while. In the story a group of students believe that Margot (main character) was locked in a closet because she said she has seen the sun before. On Venus the sun comes out for an hour every 7 years and Margot was going to miss the sun and be unable to see t for a torturing seven more years. Unfortunate events like this happen; Bradbury was able to explain the topic with realistic insight.
Bullying in some areas can be worse than others. As example the bullying in Pewaukee isn’t as bad as in the inner city of Milwaukee because we are wealthier and have homes in safe areas. In relation to the book Margot lived a normal life as a normal girl on earth. As she moved to Venus she became different and a target for kids to pick on her. Bradbury was able to make is so realistic readers may have thought that: it’s life and you have to deal with it.
The mourning Margot had to go through was most likely unreal, because if you had to see a little bit of sunshine every 7 years you would do your best to see it. In life the loss of someone, or an extreme amount of pain would equal up to the mourning of this event for Margot. During my life I have been lucky that no one has really died close to me yet, but eventually I will. As you mourn your strength will keep you in there. Bradbury was able to state that in this short story.
The mourn and bullies of children in this book were described realistically. As Bradbury connected to readers minds, he took control of your mind: in effect he was able to publish a great piece of literature.
