In All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury, the character Margot is shown to be disconnect and

isolated. In the story Margot is the only nine-year girl who was born on earth so she remembers what

the sun like. The kids born on Venus have never seen the sun and they resent her for this. One example

of Margot being disconnected is when the kids are playing games and “Margot stood apart from them”.

This shows that Margot does not relate to the other children and she chooses to not be included. This

choice not to be included shows that she is disconnected because “only when they sang about the sun

and summer did her lips move”. Thus Margot is shown throughout the story to be disconnected from

the reality of the children who grew up on Venus. Furthermore, while the other students are used to the

constant downfall of the rain from living their complete lives on Venus, Margot does not have the same

experience as them. This lack of experience is what causes Margot to “scream that the water mustn’t

touch her head”. The constant rain is regular to the other students, but to Margot it is too much. She

needs to keep her head dry at risk of losing her memory of the sun thus rendering Margot isolated in her

experiences. Through the story Margot is shown to have such a different perspective on life that she is

necessarily isolated and disconnected from the children born on Venus.
