Emphasis Preaching Journal

Ray Bradbury's short story, All Summer in a Day, deals with the fictional human colonization of Venus, where it rains all day, every day. The story takes place in a class of nine-year-olds, most of whom can't even remember what it is like to see the sun. Only one child, Margot, has any recollection of her life on Earth, and clings to her memories of the sun. Because of her preoccupation with Earth and the sun, she is teased and ostracized by her classmates. They go so far as to lock her in a closet as a prank. But suddenly, sunlight breaks through the cloudy sky!
