Children – excited – anxious – arrival of the sun – re pond – bullying – behavior the children – surprised – everyone – no children – on earth – expecting -sun – first time – seven-year – target – Margot – seen – recently – she – different – do not like – difference.
The children are excited and anxious about the arrival of the sun, and they respond by bullying the girl who has seen it more recently than the children. The behavior of the children in this story surprised everyone and no children on earth would ever act in this way. The children get anxious when they are expecting something. They were really excited when the sun was coming out for the first time in seven years.
In addition to their excitement, the children target Margot. Margot has seen the sun recently because she came from Earth more than other children. She is different, and the other children do not like her different. That is why they lock Margot in the closet during the time the sun comes out. Though Margot is one of the most anxious to see the sun, She really misses it. Thus the children reacted to the long-awaited event in the story “All Summer in a Day”.
