How Does Margot Socialize In All Summer In One Day
“ ‘No’ said Margot falling back.” In the story All Summer in One Day by Ray Bradbury, Margot the main character wants to be excepted but doesn’t know how. She doesn’t know how to socialize with a group, and when someone bullies her she doesn’t have the “skills” or defense to stop them. In this essay I will be showing you how Margot wants to be excepted but doesn’t know how.

My first reason to support why Margot wants to be excepted but doesn't know how is because she doesn’t know how to socialize, when everybody was bunched together waiting for the rain to stop she stood apart from them and didn’t say anything to anybody or even go near them.This shows she is shy because she is different than the other kids. Also when Margot read her poem

    In Ray Bradbury's science fiction short story "All Summer in a Day", we see that cruelty in society is fueled by the jealousy of those who have less than others through the treatment of the children towards Margot. For example, Margot is standing apart from the other children in the group while they are laughing and having fun as explained, “Margot stood alone.”. This piece of evidence is important because, the difference between Margot and the children is that she has seen the sun and they have not, which shows us that the children are jealous that Margot has seen the sun and are making her an outcast to make themselves feel better. Margot standing away from the others also shows us she fears the other children tormenting her out of jealousy and the weak will not be able to defend themselves from the evil in the masses. In addition, Margot's explanations and…

    1. The one aspect of Soto's life that was most interesting is when he had the three chicks. Soto had three chicks in his back yard that he was raising. He seemed fascinated by the way they just pecked around his back yard, blinked rapidly, and slept standing up. The chicks used to crawl on his shoes. He thought it was cute until one of the chicks defecated on his shoe. That angered Gary and he kicked sand in the chicks eyes. He immediately felt bad after what he had just done. This is the part of the story that made me laugh. It made me laugh because as the chapter went on, Gary became very protective of the chicks. When he kicked sand in the chicks eyes, it was very alarming. He seemed not to be a violent person.…
