All Summer In A Day

"China is more than happy to own a large portion of the U.S. debt," as this gives it great economic clout within the international market (Amadeo, 2012). This power has the potential to seriously damage the American economy if the nation was to suddenly dump its American loan holdings. If this were to happen the value of the dollar would drop dramatically, domestic interest rates would spike, and the United States would be left standing alone to try to pick up the pieces.

In “All Summer in a Day”, the authority figure is the nine-year-old schoolboy William. The dark story takes place on Venus, where it rains constantly and only one hour of sunlight is witnessed every seven years. The students who live on Venus are unaware of the joy that the sun can potentially bring to them because they were not old enough to appreciate it during its last appearance seven years ago.

The biggest difference between the Blue Zones and the Rest of America is their culture. In these areas, individuals tend to be naturally more active and eat healthier. In all three areas, they eat a mainly plant based diet in combination with other fresh, healthy foods like whole wheat bread, nuts, beans, and cheese full of Omega-3 fatty acids. These communities also find natural ways to keep them active – walking wherever they go, gardening, bike riding – and most importantly finding ways to stay active if they choose to retire. These cultures also tend to have a social system that finds pride in their elders, so aging adults are surrounded with family and friends.

“It has been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days compounded and filled from one end to the other with rain, with the drum and gush of water, with the sweet crystal fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy they were tidal waves come over the islands.” (Bradbury, 1954) In the dystopian story, “All Summer In A Day” by Ray Bradbury, it takes place on the planet, Venus.

“It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days compounded and filled from one end to the other with rain, with the sweet crystal fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy they were tidal waves come over the islands…”(Bradbury, 1954). The opposite of arid, Venus is the rainy, dreary setting in which Ray Bradbury’s “All Summer in a Day” takes place. Margot is a small nine year old girl that moved to the planet Venus when she was four years old. Memories of the sun set her apart in her environment, among children that have lived on Venus their whole lives. Margot’s classmates are resentful of the past experience she had living on Earth, and act opulent and disdainful of her. Events like the children locking Margot in a closet, avoiding her, and denying that she remembers the sun show the themes of ignorance, jealousy, isolation, and depression. Bradbury uses craft moves like descriptive language and strategic events to show these messages.
