Waiting for Sun

In Ray Bradbury short story, "All Summer in a Day", is in a city that is always raining , in the school is where that  kids are  learning  about the sun and there is a girl named Margot and she want to see the sun although she already have seen the sun. Next Margot teacher tell the kids that they need to do a work on class and Margot decide to do a poem in which she explaining about the sun, when she was reading the poem then  boy interrupt Margot because William not believe that Margot wrote that poem. In the other hand the teacher was not in the class and the other kids want to log Margot because she believes in the sun and the kids do not believe in the sun. A few hours pass and all the sound of the rain stop and the kids were going outside because the scientific said that the sun were going to appear only for two hours, so the sun appear and the kids go outside to get fun with the sun but Margot was locked in a closed so she cannot see the sun.


I love how Ray Bradbury use Imagery quotes of hearing, and help the reader  understand and create a image in the reader for example:

 "Then they closed the door and heard the gigantic sound of the rain falling in tons and avalanches"

This quote can shows us that the people want a lot to see the sun but they can because the only sound they heard is the drops of the rain.




In this short story we can identify a lot of action and the one that explain more is the kids start to crying. In this book we can see that the protagonist is Margot the girl that believe in the soon , and the antagonist is the William the boy that do not believe in the sun, thanks to William, Margot do not see the sun and she start to crying. For example: 


"They  surged another, caught her up and before her protesting, and then pleading, and then crying back into a tunnel, a room, a closet, where they slammed and locked the door." 

This shows that for Margot the sun was a is very special and a kid ruined the special moment that Margot want to have.



   


In “All Summer in a Day" the message that Ray Bradbury want to give us is that no let any person ruined your moment that you want to have. These means do not let friends destroy your dreams because every person needs to have one. In this story we can see that William is destroying the dream of Margot seeing the SUN. Margot is not going to give up she will see the sun.

The Giver 17-20


Previously in The Giver Jonas is  having  a Holiday of everything that means that he have a vocation of one day, so in this holiday he started to play a  war game with his friends and Asher. Then Fiona go to were Jonas and Asher were to invited them to ride bicycle but Jonas said no because he cannot tell them the memories that he was seeing because they will not understand. The days pass and The Giver tells Jonas that before of Jonas there was another Receiver of Memory that was Rosemary, The Giver tells Jonas that he lost her a lot but he don’t said Jonas why, The Giver said that he can transferred the memories to Rosemary. Rosemary was a child that has Release. Jonas saw a memory of his father and that memories was not too nice because Jonas saw his father killing a baby because the father of Jonas was punching in the vain the injection so the kid day and Jonas was screaming "he killed him, he killed him" Jonas was in shock. The Giver wants to talk with Jonas because he wants to explain Jonas he need to live the community because The Giver need to find something very important, also the Giver said that Jonas is prepare to be the next Receiver of Memory. The Giver tells Jonas that he want to find Rosemary because he is the daughter of The Giver. 



  "But I have another place to go. When my work here is finished, I want to be with my daughter" (162.) 


I want to analyze this quote because if I was in The Giver place I will like to find my daughter because his daughter is his family. The Giver is making very good be finding his daughter even if he is going to miss Jonas but if he want to remember his daughter he have the chance to find his daughter. The Giver have not seen he is daughter in a lot of years so I thinks that The Giver is going to find her because he is going to search in every place also he is going to ask people if the hadn’t see Rosemary. Next the Giver is not going to stop searching for Rosemary. In the other hand I think that also Jonas is going to help The Giver searching for Rosemary even if they are far. 




I will like to predict about what is going too happened next. I think that The Giver is going to find Rosemary. Next Jonas is going to have memories that are going to tell him about what he needs to do in his rest of his life. In the other hand Jonas is going to have bad, good memories that he will go to transmit to Gabe. I think that one of the memories he is going to see is when he plays with his friends but he will not be happy about that memory because he will not be a normal kid again. In conclusion I will like to read the three chapters that I have left because this book is very interesting.
