"All Summer in a day"

The protagionst of this story is Margot, a little girl from Ohio. She recently moved from Earth to Venus. Her desire is to see the sun and move back to Earth. Margot is a quiet, shy girl. She doesnt like to socialize with anyone and doesn't speak to anyone. The blue color of her eyes, "the red from her mouth and the yellow from her hair". The antagoinist of this story would be William. William doesn't like Margot because he knows she is different from everyone else. The theme of this story is loneliness.The different techniques used in this story that lead to the theme of loneliness would be the fact the Margot doesn't have any friends and no one likes her. Also Margot is a shy and quiet girl that has just arrived from Ohio to Venus and she is very different from all the other kids in the classrooom. Tha author's tone within the story would be that the author wants to show the difference that Margot had among the different kids and how she tells them that the day in which the sun will come out is on that same day but no one listens to her. The crisis action would be where William locks Margot away in a closet while they see the sun coming out. I enjoyed reading this story because the setting is different and its based on a whole new different world. The descrpition of the fact that in Venus , the sun comes out every seven years for two hours.
