    Directions: Concisely answer the following questions about All Summer in a Day by
    Ray Bradbury.
    Part I
    1. Why doesn’t Margot fit in with other children?
    2. How have the people on Venus adapted to the rainy climate?
    3. Every seven years when the Sun comes out the plant life on Venus changes.
    What happens?

    Part II
    1. Bradbury provides a vivid description of life on Venus. Describe the setting and
    how it affects the mood. Why does the author begin the story this way?
    2. In the beginning of the story, “the children are pressed to each other like so
    many roses, so many weeds, intermixed peering out for a look at the hidden
    sun” through the window. How do these words by the author convey tone? Why
    does the author create this tone?
    3. Reread the paragraph beginning with “Margot stood apart”. What does the
    reader learn about Margot’s character? What does the author imply about
    Margot's character?
    4. Reread the paragraph beginning with “Margot stood alone”. Bradbury states,
    "She was an old photograph". What can the reader infer about how the other
    students view Margot based on the metaphor?
    5. The phrases, “Aw, you didn’t write that!” and “What’re you looking at?” are the
    first responses that William utters to Margot. Why does William have these
    reactions?
    6. What evidence shows that it is vital for Margot to return to earth even though it
    may result in the loss of thousands of dollars to her family?
    7. Consequence in the context means “importance”. The levels of importance
    vary. Bradbury states, "and the children hated Margot for all the big and little
    consequences”. Some were not very important reasons while one was
    especially an important reason to the children. What are these “big and little
    consequences?”
    8. Bradbury states,"the students surge about her" to shove Margot into the closet.
    What motivates them to do this act?
    9. Bradbury carefully chooses his words. Connotation means the emotional feeling
    attached to a word. What is the connotation of the words surge, bore and
    protesting as used in the text?
    10. During the short story, the author states that the students are “smiling”. What
    theme can be inferred by the students’ wicked smiling?
    11. Compare how the children walk away from the door when they push Margot
    into the closet with how the children walk back to the closet to let her out at the
    end.
    12. Why are the children able to empathize with Margot at the end of the story?
