Listen to Bright Words


The short story, “All Summer in a Day" is about a planet, Venus, which has been raining for 7 years without stopping any minute. Margot is a girl that born in the Earth and she believe that the sun will come out the day the scientist say it will. In the other side, in his class all the kids bother her because they think that the sun will not come out and it will continue raining. Then on, the kids continue telling Margot “You’re lying, you don’t remember!" cried the children. She also makes a poem about the sun and they told her that she didn't make it. They continue and continue... until William, one of the boys, decides to put Margot inside a closet. Minutes later the rain stops and the warm of the sun started to being felt. The teacher told the kids to go outside to play so they went and have fun on the grass, trees and in the outside world. One hour past, and the rain starts to fall again. William realizes that Margot was inside the closet and that she wasn't able to see the sun that she was waiting for all this time. Finally Margot was sad and feel bad about his ''friends''. They all say sorry to Margot but that wasn't enough because she was upset. 


 Feeling the sun on their cheeks like a warm iron.


 In this quote we can see how Ray Bradbury in a short sentence he can make you feel how the sun heat felt in the kid’s skin. In this part of the story the kids are going outside to play after 7 years of raining day and night. He’s making the reader use his touch sense by using the word feeling and also comparing it to something like warm iron.



  She was an old photograph dusted from an album, whitened away, and if she spoke at all her voice would be a ghost.

Margot... a girl from another planet that is being bullied by his classmates. In this quote we can realize that Margot is a girl that is different from others and when she talks no one really listen to her because she is weird to others. Ray Bradbury is characterizing the protagonist so descriptively that then on in the story we will know how this character is and how is he going to act. Also when the author uses characterization well you will learn more things from the story such as how that person is or how he changes during the story.


I like how Ray Bradbury use imagery in his book because it describes it perfectly to let the reader be able to have an image or feel what is being descript inside his head. also I like how he make the reader know what is the personality of each character by making each one say and do things that make them unique by using characterization.



In this amazing short story we can see that the message is that we should be careful of how we treat the environment because in the future we can have problems such as rain every day or changes of climate like is happening right now already. 
Adding to this the theme inside this story is that people should appreciate others and listen their ideas, because they will always be useful for something. Just because someone is different they aren’t able to be discriminated and don’t being even seen. We can realize of this theme because of the imagery and personification that the author shows during the story.

Lost and Love

Jonas is surprised how his friends don’t know the truth of pain and war, so they see it as a game. When Jonas sees his friends playing to war he remember of the war memory. War? What is war? No fights, all same agrees, everything the same without having the ability to fight for something they want. While they were playing… ‘’Jonas looked at her. She was so lovely’’


Jonas is in love with Fiona but the problem is that she would never return his love back to Jonas. Next day Jonas turn back to the Anex, he start having curiosity about what is RELEASE and the giver like always try to explain it on the better form. The Giver told him that GIVER can never be released because they have all the saved memories that need to be past to the Receiver.’’ Rosemary was the last receiver before you.’’ The Giver told this to Jonas. Rosemary was a girl that love what the memories that the Giver transmit her 
because he wasn’t able to transmit any painful memory… until she ask him to do it. In that moment, after seeing this memory, she went to the elders to be released. A disaster occurred in that moment because all the memories that were already transmitted to her where spread on the society, because memories are forever. Jonas realized all this but he still didn’t know what is REALESE and where they go. He saw a video of how his fader in that morning has released a baby and he want to never go back home because the truth of release is to KILL. They two start thinking about changing the society and they start a plan. Finally they will change the society to make it better and always do the right in life. 

 FUNERAL DE CHAVO-  Death of Chavo


In this video we can see how in real life people are sad if someone is lost or die. They make a whole ceremony with familiars and flowers and MEMORIES about this person life. Instead, in this book people in Jonas community didn’t matter about release, they even don’t know what happened. I think that people should feel sorry and sad when someone dies because is a lost of a loved person that you had lived a long time with him.



‘’He kill it! My father killed it!’’ Jonas say.
Jonas is disappointed in how his father is able to do that. His work is to kill people and he doesn’t realize how that is so harmful in real life with feelings and love with someone. In real life like you can see on the video, people are aware of death because the loss of someone loved create  sadness for the rest of your life. I completely disagree with Jonas community because they ‘’release’’ people every time like something normal without knowing the truth pain that death mean to us.
