One Hour of Sun

In Ray Bradbury’s story "All Summer in a Day", people lives in the planet Venus, and lives in rain.  Every 7 years the sun comes out in this planet. A girl named Margot, who lived in the earth has had seen the sun before, and she always described it better that the other kids.  One day they were crating poems and the kids were really mad because she did really well. That day the sun was supposed to come out. But the only one who believed in this was Margot. The other kids locked her in a closet, but that minute the sun came out and all the kids went running and felt the sun. But the sun only last for one hour. That  hour passed really fast and the kids forgot about Margot. When the sun was gone and the rain came again, they remembered about Margot and took her out of the closet. 

I like how Ray Bradbury uses imagery to make the reader visualize whats happening in the story.

"Sometimes, at night, she heard them stir in remembrance, and she knew they were dreaming and remembering gold and yellow crayon or a coin large enough to buy the world with." (1)

Bradbury is showing one of the scenes in this part of the story. He is describing how Margot heard the kids and the people stir when they were remembering of the sun and dreaming about how they thought it was.  You can imagine how the place is and the people wondering how the sun looks.

"Margot stood alone. She was a very frail girl who looked as if she had been lost in the rain for years and the rain had washed out the blue from her eyes and the red from her mouth and the yellow from her hair."

This explains and describes that the main character, Margot is a very timid girl that has here own opinion about things. Also that living in this rain is making her depressed  and with no zest for live.

This story showed me that maybe in many years we will not have sun and we will live only in rain, so we have to take care of our planet because if not is going to be destroyed. The message of this short story is that we have to respect other people and do not make them feel uncomfortable of what they think. This means that we have to respect their opinion and do not judge what they do.

This music video talks about a year without rain in this story is the opposite 7 years without sun.
