For Our second online lesson, Mr Lundberg instructed us to re-read "All Summer in a Day". We are also supposed to identify the people responsible for the protagonist's plight.
In my opinion I feel that the people responsible for Magrot's plight are Margot's parents, the children in the school and Margot. This is due to the fact that Margot was originally from planet Earth, but her parents decided to birng her to a world, a planet which is totally new to her and she was obviously not very used to her new surroundings. Margot's parents tried to let their daughter get used to the life in Venus, hoping that she would adapt to the new surroundings, but this caused Margot to be even more sad.
The children are also responsible for Margot's misery as they refused to accept Margot's difference from them and because she is new to the planet. They ganged up and bullied Margot together.
Lastly, I think that Margot is also responsible for her own plight, as she refused to adapt to the new surroundings and blend in with the other children. This caused the children to notice her difference from the rest of them.
I would persuade the children to accept Margot, as Margot is similar to them except that she remembers how the Sun's appearance, and the children should be able to accept her after all they just have to wait for a few more years to see the Sun, hence I believe that as long as there are one, or two people who rally around Margot the situation would be different.
