The short story and movie versions of Ray Bradbury’s "All Summer in a Day" have several similarities and differences. For example, one similarity in characterization is that Margot is disliked by her peers due to the fact that she is from Earth. Another similarity is that, in both, the setting is an extremely rainy world, where it rainsthe sun shines for only onceone hour every seven years. This creates a sorrowful mood. The major conflict is when Margot gets shoved forcefully into the closet by WillamWilliam and his friends. One last similarity is that WillamWilliam is still a bully, and that Margot is still shy and quiet. Despite all the similarities, there are definitely differences between the movie and the short story. As an example, in the story, Margot is shy and quiet because she feels she is different. Although in the movie, Margot talks back to the teacher, and to WillamWilliam. Furthermore, the fact that none of Margot’s classmates like her is unique to the story; in contrast, in the movie, many of the girls tolerate Margot. The most significant difference is the resolution to both versions; the story ends with the girls in Margot’s class letting her out, while the movie on the contrary concludes with WillamWilliam letting Margot out, looking regretful. Regardless of which version someone experiences, Bradbury’s story illustrates a version of man versus society because of William bullying Margot.
