All Summer In A Day Theme

All Summer In a Day

In All Summer In a Day, Ray Bradbury tells us that sometimes jealousy can sometimes lead people to do odd things. One theory of this is when the kids lock Margoe in a closet. They felt jealous and ended up letting their feelings get the best of them. The themes other people come up with are accurate but this theme is more true and accurate. The reason is because this theme happens many times throughout the story. Them the kids do one thing anyone expected them to do, they let her out of the closet. This just shows how odd people get when they are jealous.

The theme is shown many times throughout the story like when the kids lock her in a closet. This is odd because why would someone lock another person in a closet. If they

were going to lock her somewhere do it somewhere people don’t go into. Also the kids would only get to see it for one hour. They over exaggerated about the sun. They Do only get to see it once every seven years, but for only one hour. The kids were having fun, but they were only out there for one hour or so.
A possibly counter to this theme is that the theme isn't true throughout the story.

Some think that the theme is that bullying can hurt people. Yes that is true in life but not in this story. The theme isn’t that because only a few times in the story does Margoe fell hurt. The theme of jealousy is shown many more times than the other one. Jealousy plays a role throughout the story.Although the other theme is show in the story this theme is show more times and is more important.

The theme is also shown when the kids let Margoe out of the closet. The kids were being odd because they put her in the closet now they are letting her out. They knew that she was mad and sad about not seeing the sun so why would they let her out. The kids were just acting odd and letting her out. If they were jealous they wouldn’t let her out they would keep her there. Over all the kids were acting weird and out of the ordinary.

In All Summer In a Day, Ray Bradbury tells how sometimes jealousy can lead to people doing odd things. This theme means when people are jealous they will do anything to make themselves feel good. In this story the kids were jealous of Margoe so they locked her in a closet to make them feel good and then they can see the sun without her.Although Margoe didn’t see the sun she was let out of the closet to find the kids who locked her in there. She was sad and disappointed that she didn’t see the

sun.
