All summer in a day
what is the central reason, “the biggest crime of all,” that caused margot was initially bullied by the other children?
question 5 options:
a)
she didn’t retaliate when shoved and pushed around as evidenced by “she felt them go away.”
b)
she was different in that she had not been on venus all her life, and the kids envied her “possible future” of getting to return to earth next year
c)
the kids hated her looks: the “pale snow face, her waiting silence, her thinness”

The central reason of “the biggest crime of all,” that Margot who was initially bullied by the other children had caused was that she was different. She had not been on Venus all her life and the kids envied her “possible future” of getting to return to Earth next year.

So the right answer is Option B.

Explanation:

Ray Bradbury’s story “All Summer in a Day,” shows the colours of jealousy and how can that lead to cruelty and cause difference. This theme is clearly embossed in the story and we get a clear picture of it when the other children envy Margot as she is different. Because it was only Margot who remembered seeing the sun and feeling its warmth. The other children were only two years old when they came to Venus so they are unable to recall a day they had felt and seen the sunshine.

Why?
