G ENRE Science fiction : genre of fiction based on imagined scientific or technological advances and major social or environmental changes L ITERARY D EVICES Setting : time and place of a story

L ITERARY D EVICES Tone : the author’s attitude toward the subject matter, which creates the mood ex. sarcastic, frustrated, excited Mood : the overall feeling/atmosphere of a given scene ex. suspenseful, gloomy, happy

L ITERARY D EVICES Characterization : the creation of a character by the use of a detailed description * Physical appearance * His or her thoughts and beliefs * His or her behavior * What other characters think of him or her * Dialect (how he or she speaks) Theme : the main idea, lesson, or message of a story

P RE - READING A CTIVITY Read the following excerpt. Underline all details of characterization of Margot and highlight Margot’s actions. Margot stood alone. She was a very frail girl who looked as if she had been lost in the rain for years and the rain had washed out the blue from her eyes and the red from her mouth and the yellow from her hair. She was an old photograph dusted from an album, whitened away, and if she spoke at all her voice would be a ghost. Now she stood, separate, staring at the rain and the loud wet world beyond the huge glass.

How would you describe Margot’s character in your own words based solely on this description? How would you describe the mood created?

A FTER -R EADING A CTIVITY Initial reactions? Why doesn’t Margot fit in with the other children, and why do the kids treat her so differently? Why do people in general discriminate against each other?

How have the people on Venus adapted to the rainy, volatile climate? How has their environment affected their personalities and attitudes?

Identify and explain one of the themes presented in All Summer in a Day. How can you apply Bradbury’s message to your own life? To our class?
