This excitement makes sense as the story was released in 1954, which is during a period of our history when exploring space was gaining quick traction, and the U.S. She was an old photograph dusted from an album, whitened away, and if she spoke at all her voice would be a ghost” (Bradbury, 1 & 2). She was a very frail girl who looked as if she had been lost in the rain for years and the rain had washed out the blue from her eyes and the red from her mouth and the yellow from her hair. Her remembrance is due to the fact that she had left Earth only five years prior, while the rest of the kids in her class had lived their entire lives on Venus, and were only toddlers when the Sun had presented itself last, so it was not a core memory for them, only a dream.īradbury portrays the viewing of the sun as an exciting moment and indicates that the lack of sun, and also the lack of warmth from her classmates made Margot physically and mentally reflect the weather outside. The sun only comes around every seven years, and Margot, the main character seems to be the only one who vividly remembers the sun. “All Summer in a Day” is a short story written by Ray Bradbury, where the characters live on the sunless planet Venus, where it rains all day, every day.
