    Choose a theme from 

    All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury. Once you've chosen a theme, find a
    quote (textual evidence) to support your theme. The quote should be a literary device: allusion,
    simile, characterization, metaphor, irony, etc. Then answer the following question in SAR format
    using Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning. 

     In the novel All Summer in a Day, how does Ray Bradbury use (chosen
    literary devise) to support (chosen theme)?

     
    SAR Example: Claim, Evidence (quote), Reasoning (explain quote and how literary
    device is used)

    In the novel All Summer in a Day, Ray Bradbury uses simile to highlight the theme of
    jealousy. Children hated Margot for having lived on Earth and having remembered the
    Sun, which none of the children on Venus remembered. Bradbury communicates this
    jealousy, “And they, they had been on Venus all their lives, and they had been only two
    years old when last the sun came out and had long since forgotten the color and heat of
    it and the way it really was. But Margot remembered. "It’s like a penny," she said once,
    eyes closed. "No it’s not!" the children cried. "It’s like a fire," she said, "in the stove."
    "You’re lying, you don’t remember!" cried the children…And so, the children hated her
    for all these reasons of big and little consequence. They hated her pale snow face, her
    waiting silence, her thinness, and her possible future” (Bradbury 2). This shows that the
    children are jealous that Margot remembers the Sun. It also shows that when people
    can’t overcome their own pain, they sometimes end up hurting others. Bradbury uses
    simile to compare the sun to things the children could actually imagine.

    Write your SAR below (Follow CER (Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning) format above):

    In the novel, All Summer in a Day, Ray Bradbury uses imagery to convey a theme of
    hopelessness. The other children seemingly hated Margot and the scientists, who
    predicted the showing of the sun for the hope displayed in the novel. When Bradbury
    writes "Well, don’t wait around here!" cried the boy savagely. "”You
    won’t see nothing!" Her lips moved. "Nothing!" he cried. "It was all a
    joke, wasn’t it?" He turned to the other children. "Nothing’s happening
    today. Is it?" They all blinked at him and then, understanding, laughed
    and shook their heads. "Nothing, nothing!" Oh, but," Margot whispered,
    her eyes helpless. "But this is the day, the scientists predict, they say,
    they know, the sun..." "All a joke!" said the boy, and seized her roughly.
    "Hey, everyone, let’s put her in a closet before the teacher comes!"”
    (Bradbury 2-3). When the other child is lost in the sad hopelessness, Bradbury uses
    imagery to display the crude actions and desperation that the child feels in the story.
