Argumentative Essay On Children On God

Ray Bradbury’s story “All Summer in a Day” starts out on a rainy day on the planet Venus. Although it wasn’t just that day that was rainy, it’s been rainy every day for seven years. As there was a time long ago when the sun casted on this rainy planet, the children on Venus could not remember. Except for one, Margot a young girl that had just arrived from Earth four years ago. She remembers the warmth and brightness of the sun while she lived in Ohio with her family. At her new school on Venus, Margot shares her memories of the sun with her classmates. Her classmates don’t remember the sun causing them to get jealous and them to hurt Margot later in the story. This suggests that when people can’t get over their

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. Young Margot moved from Ohio to Venus five years ago. Therefore, she had recently experienced the sun and even had the ability to properly describe it in her poem as “a flower, that blooms for just one hour.”

From the beginning of the novel to the end of the novel, Margot didn’t change who she is. Margot moved to Venus from Earth at an older age than the rest of her classmates. She still remembered the sun; the other students didn’t because they moved to Venus when they were very young. “Margot stood apart from them, these children who could never remember a time when there wasn’t rain and rain and rain.”(Bradbury 1). This quote showed that Margot remembered a better time when there was sun and there wasn’t always rain. Margot didn't try to fit in; she always acted by what felt right, not how others thought she should act. Margot never talked and if she did, she was very quiet. Margot also didn’t play games or sing songs with her classmates. As a result of Margot’s differences, her classmates stayed away from her. They made fun of her. “...she sensed it, she was different, and they knew her difference and kept away.”(Bradbury 2). This quote proved that even Margot knew she was different, Margot also knew her classmates thought of her as weird; but she never stopped being herself, she never changed who she was. Margot realized she didn’t want to change her identity, and she shouldn’t have to, to fit

“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. A group of children, along with scientists get to live there, while being educated at the underground school. Margot, who is only 9 years old, wasn't born on Venus like the other children, but instead on Earth. She’s the only one who remembers how the sun felt through her skin and how beautiful it shined. On the contrary, the other children are jealous of her because she has some memory of the sun, while they don’t. Jealousy caused the children to harass, isolate, and make her depressed.

    Margot gets treated cruelly by those in her class because they are envious of where she’s from and her knowledge, or experience. Margot is nine years old, living on the planet Venus, where she moved from Earth, when she was four years old. Margot is the only kid in her class the remembers the sun and this makes all the other kids envious of her because when the other kids saw the sun they were only two years old but Margot was four which makes them  jealous. When Margot was talking about the scientist predicting the sun would come out one of the boys said, “‘All a joke… let’s put her in a closet before the teacher comes back!’” (Bradbury 3). The  kids are so envious or jealous of Margot that they want to lock her in a closet, right before the sun is supposed to come out because they don’t believe it is. When the sun finally came out  the children rush outside to enjoy nature and the sun,

Imagine living on a different planet, but being isolated and friendless. This happens to a girl named Margot in the short story, “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury. Margot is treated poorly by her classmates throughout the story. In the story, several scientists, along with their children, occupy underground tunnels on Venus. It seems perfect-minus one problem. It is constantly raining, for seven years in a row. The sun is said to come out on the day the story takes place, and Margot can’t wait. She is the only one of her classmates who remembers the sun, since she moved to Venus when she was five. However, the envious children grab Margot and shove her in a closet. The sun comes out, and they play and delight in its warmth. When it goes away, they remember Margot, and, heads hung low, they let her out of the closet. The children of Venus are harsh towards Margot because they are jealous of her. Because of this, she becomes isolated, depressed, and is constantly harassed by her peers.

Unlike the rest of the children in the classroom of Venus, Margot only came to Venus five years ago. She is totally different from other children not only in her behavior, but also in looks too. It is because of this difference that she is able to be targeted so easily by the other students. She being the only one of the children to have ever experienced sunlight, she always stood alien. She could not adapt herself with the environmental settings of Venus, and this adjusting problem had an emotional feedback in her mind, refusing even to shower in the school shower room.

    To begin, the author shows that the harassment Margot goes through is due to the children’ lack of knowledge about the sun since they have spent their whole life on Venus. Throughout the day, Margot brings back memories of the sun.

There was a 15 year old girl in the news where she and her boyfriend killed her mother and younger sister before having sex at the house and watched a vampire film. In my opinion, I think juveniles should be tried as adults because even though they are kids or teens, they know what they did is wrong, but they still did the crime. Even though teenage brains are developing it’s not an excuse for killing people. Teenagers know right from wrong and if they plan the crime they can’t argue its because they are angry with temper issues. It’s not right to kill people no matter how old you are, even if you’re 12 because they know it’s wrong too.

An experience Margot had remembered was the sun back on Earth. Margot had came to Venus while her classmates were born there which was another difference Margot had. Bradbury wrote, “And then, of course, the biggest crime of all was that she had come here only five years ago from Earth, and she remembered the sun and the way the sun was and the sky was when she was four in Ohio. And they, they had been on Venus all their lives, and they had been only two years old when last the sun came out and had long since forgotten the color and heat of it and the way it really was,” (Bradbury, 1954). This information from the text informs that Margot had experienced seeing the sun when she was four and the children of Venus also saw the sun but it was when they were two.

Try conceptualizing a world with perpetual rain. This is the world that Bradbury creates in his short story, “All Summer In a Day. A group of scientists and their children live on Venus, a planet that only sees the sun for an hour every seven years. The kids that immigrated here are only 9 years old. They do not remember the sun, as they have only seen the sun once, 7 years ago. But, there is a girl named Margot. Unlike the other kids, she was born on earth and moved to Venus 5 years ago. She has distinct memories of the sun. This causes her to stand out from the other kids. The loss of the sun causes her to grieve. The children living on Venus treat Margot mercilessly in jealousy due to her prior knowledge and experiences. This causes Margot to be a victim of depression, harassment, and denial.

“All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury is a science fiction short story about how Venus only has one hour of daylight and the rest of the time it is cold and raining all year and only in seven years they will have that one hour of daylight. There are people living on Venus and there is one little girl in middle school who adores the sun light and it is her only way of happiness unlike all of the other kids at her school who don't really mind the rain and have never seen the daylight only when they were just little kids. She lives there and goes to school with other kids who don't like her because she says that she's seen the Sun (even though she really has seen the sun because she did for a fact live on earth). In the beginning, Margot is depressed and sad because she used

In the beginning, Bradbury gives the reader information about Venus. Like how it hasn’t rained in seven years and will finally stop. Like how the children will do anything to be able to see the Sun, like bully someone who has seen the Sun before. Bradbury gives the reader some insight of how the children feel about Margot. How she acts around them. How she looks because she came later to Venus. Others may say that that point is wrong. Others may say that it was Margot who influenced the children to grow thirsty of the Sun. Others may say that it was Margot who kept on telling them about the Sun. Who kept on feeding them information on the Sun versus letting them find out on their own. By the end of the story, Bradbury tells the reader that after the other children played in the Sun for two hours, they realize that they had done something wrong. That they had taken Margot’s chance of seeing the Sun. They realize that she could be worse than before. They realize she could go out for revenge towards them for taking her chance. The short story All Summer in A Day by Ray Bradbury is about how a little jealousy can turn into rage and reveals that children, along with adults, can be blinded by something so

Imagine a world in which you are prohibited from traveling to another country, even though you are guaranteed the basic right to practice your religion. Remember how over fifteen years ago, people that shared nothing but your religion committed acts of terrorism, and people still hold you responsible. Picture an era where you and your people were persecuted, but now reciprocators of the oppressors are marching freely without a second thought. You can stop imagining now. Because this is the world we live in. A society of religious intolerance. It is defined as, “not respecting the fundamental human right of other people to hold religious beliefs that are different from your own” (“Religious Intolerance Introduction”). Around the world in six predominantly Muslim countries, citizens are forbidden from coming to America because of an executive order issued by the US. Likewise, on September 11th, 2001, a group of Muslim terrorists hijacked a plane, killing thousands. In present day, people only connected to them by their religion are still being judged for actions they didn’t perform. Another situation in which bigotry occurred was in World War II. The Nazi Party attempted to gain control of many European and Asian countries, all the while trying to rid the world of races and religions they saw as inferior. Now the Neo-Nazis have the right to march freely and spread their hateful messages. Religious intolerance is a pressing issue, causing harrassment, inequality, violence, and

Religion was discovered back in 2000 BC and is considered to be a trait common to cultures worldwide to this day. Some use religion as a way to cope, to connect, but few could use religion as a weapon against others. Since religion began, over 195,035,000 lives have been lost in tragedies brought on in the name of faith. Regardless of the brutality religion has created, it has also caused others to come together in order to speak out. As a result of religions regression in society, humans are able to progress for the sake of defending human rights.
