Finally the Sun is Here

“All Summer in a Day”, a short story by Ray Bradbury; people are leaving in Venus, there, rain never stops, the last time they saw the sun it was seven years ago. At school kids are learning about the sun, making essays and poems. Margot, a girl who has lived on Earth two years ago, shared all her memories with his classmates but they don’t believe her.
Ray Bradbury has strong imagery in his short stories, for example 

 “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 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. A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a thousand times to be crushed again.” pg.1

The author, here appeals to the senses of sight and sound it explains how forests crush. Also using the phrase “with the drums and gush of water” you can imagine how the rain falls and the sound when it gets to the floor. 

“Then, for the first time, she turned and looked at him. And what she was waiting for was in her eyes.
"Well, don’t wait around here !" cried the boy savagely. "You won’t see nothing!" Her lips moved.
"Nothing !" he cried. "It was all a joke, wasn’t it?" He turned to the other children. "Nothing’s happening today. Is it ?" They all blinked at him and then, understanding, laughed and shook their heads.” pg.2

This reveals that Margot, the main character, is weak. With all those terrible things his classmates do to her, and she doesn’t tell a word. But when she tries to tell something Margot stays mute and William laughs at her.

I love Bradbury because his endings are unexpected and leave you with questions and want to know more about it.
