How can there be no summer on Venus for than 7 years? Written by Ray Bradbury is a book that takes place on Venus. It is about a girl named Margot missing summer. In the short story, “All Summer in a Day”, the plotline, character, and lesson found in the story all follow up to a irony mode of literature.
I think it is irony because first it starts out with the world in chaos. The world in chaos is Margot missing summer for 7 years and she became depressed about it. The major conflict is everybody not believing Margot when she told everyone about summer 7 years ago. Then the classmates locked her in the closet. The loss of sanity was for Margot. She is really depressed on how there was no summer in 7 years. In edition it is irony because of the characteristics.
It can be irony because it is highly unrealistic. Since it takes place on Venous and it hasn’t stopped raining for 7 years it is unrealistic, meaning it cannot happen. Also the main character is stupid, weak, and not in control. She gets locked in a closet proving that she is weak and she is not in control because she did not choose to be in the closet. Another thing is the forces of good are weak which is Margot for getting locked in the closet and the forces of evil is strong like when will locked Margot in the closet. There is also the purpose to think it is irony.
The purpose of irony is to examine our fears. It is show us hey it’s not that bad because we are on earth not Venus. One of the symbolism is the sky to be gray. It was because it was always raining. Also it rained which is another one. All of these reasons prove that the mode is irony.
This is why I thought it was irony with the characteristics to the symbolism. The plot fits into it perfect to be irony. That is why I think it is irony. Summer is important to everyone including the people on Venus that is why I think this in irony.
