ALL SUMMER IN A DAY

- Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury wrote All Summer in a Day. A group of school children live on planet
Venus with their families. The children are nine years old. They are eagerly waiting for the
great occasion. It has been raining for seven years. The scientists have predicted that the sun
will appear for a period of two hours only.
The children had seen the sun only once in their lives when they were two years old.
Now they don’t remember how it looks. They have read about the sun at school. Margot is
the thin and pale girl. All the children hate her. She had lived in Ohio until she was five. She
has many memories of the sun. She claims that sun is like a lemon. She does not take part in
any classroom activity that doesn’t include the sun. Her parents had planned to take her back
to the earth next year. She looks out of the window waiting for the rain to stop and the sun to
come out. The children did not believe her. They put her in the closet while the teacher is
gone.
The rain stops and the sun appears after some time. All the children run, play and
enjoy the light of the sun. After some time, the sun disappears and it begins to rain again. All
the children enter the tunnel. Suddenly a girl remembers that Margot is locked in the closet.
They unlock the door and Margot slowly comes out.
The writer conveys the power of sun over the children living on Venus. The world with
sunlight is magical and pleasant. No wonder that Margaret does not want to live on Venus.
