All Summer in a Day Quiz B

Ray Bradbury set this story on Venus to show that:

• People behave differently in new situations

• Teachers don't always check on students

• Waiting greatly increases anticipation of an event

• Cruelty to others can happen anywhere and anytime

The conflict or struggle is that Margot;

• Is unable to follow directions

• does not listen to her classmates

• struggles with school

• cannot adjust to life on Venus

Why are the students on Venus?

• as an experiment to study the effects of rain

• because their parents are rocket people

• to get a better education

• to wait seven years for the next earth shuttle

Why does the author write that it has been raining for 'thousands upon thousands of days?"

• to show how much the children want to see the sun

• to contrast Margot's and William's feelings about the rain

• to emphasize what seven years of rain must seem like

• to express what the landscape of Venus looks like

What detail shows that this takes place in the future?

• Margot and the other children live on Venus

• Rain falls for seven years

• Children dream of the sun

• Scientists study the sun

The children move slowly before letting Margot out of the closet because:

• they can't stand to see her pale face again

• they know they will be in trouble

• they are worried she might not be there

• they know they have done a cruel thing to her

One reason the children treat Margot badly is because she

• stays away from the jungle

• locks them in closets

• might get to return to Earth

• writes poetry about the rain
