"All summer in a day"

* You have prepared the story before the lesson

* We are going to look at the SETTING and the THEME

How does Bradbury (author) describe the planet Venus, especially the weather and the environment? What words or phrases create a sense of the oppressive (onderdrukking), almost dystopian nature of the planet?

How does the setting (i.e., constant rain, lack of sunlight) impact the characters, particularly Margot and her classmates? How does it influence the mood of the story?

What message do you think Bradbury (author) is trying to communicate about human nature or society? How does the ending of the story help to reinforce this theme?

How do Margot’s feelings about the sun and the way her classmates treat her reflect the story's theme?

What do you think you need help with the most?
