Analysis Of All Summer In A Day By Ray Bradbury

All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury teaches us that jealousy leads to bullying. Some of the evidence is that the other children made fun of Margot’s poem. The children hated her because she remembered the sun and they didn’t remember. A final piece of evidence is that they are so jealous that they resort to locking her in the closet so that she can’t see the sun on Venus. Some would argue that the story is about how people can make wrong decisions when they have an obsessive longing for something that they have no control over.

One piece of evidence is that the children make fun of Margot’s poem. Some of them tell her that she lied and didn’t write the couplet herself. They are very jealous because she remembers the sun and they don’t. William is probably more jealous than most of the other children. This is because he seems to be like the ringleader of all the kids when it comes to bullying

Margot. The children insult Margot’s poem because they hate her for remembering.

Another piece of evidence to this claim is that the children hate Margot for many reasons. One is that she hasn’t lived on Venus her whole life so she remembers the sun from five years ago, before she moved there from Ohio. They also hate her because her parents are giving thought about moving back to Earth later that year. This makes the other children like William jealous because the sun shines it’s happy face on Earth much more often than Venus. A final reason that they make fun of her is because she loves the sun so much and is in the rain so much that when people would try to make her shower she would scream that the water must not touch her head.

A final piece of evidence that the children bully her out of jealousy is that on the day that the scientists predict the sun will appear the children lock Margot in the closet.

They do this because when the sun is supposed to appear it is almost a minute off, so the children think that nothing will happen. They lock her away because they got their hopes so high, they were so ready for that sweet sunshine. Then they thought that there was nothing so they lock her in the closet. But then the sun does come out and the children all have fun, with one exception: Margot is in the closet.

Those are the pieces of evidence that All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury is about how bullying can be caused by jealousy. The evidence is that the children make fun of Margot’s poem. Also that they hate her for remembering the sun. And finally, because they lock her in the closet so she misses the sun. Although some would argue that it is actually about how people can make wrong decisions when they really want something that they can’t control, there is lots of evidence pointing to

this.
