Responsibility of Margot's treatment.

Hello Everyone ! I have read " All Summer In A Day". Here, I would like to identify who should be held responsible for Margot's unfair treatment.
Firstly, I think her parents, who were rocket men, had brought her to this raining world - Venus- to set up civilization and live lives, should be held responsible too. For selfish means of discovery and investigation they allowed their child, Margot, to come to Venus- a raining world- , a harsh condition to endure.  Terrible disasters and concussions of storms led to the unfathomable belief that Venus is a horrible place to stay in, despite the cries of Earth's rocket men's plea of discovery.
Thus they put her in a condition whereby the natural environment was extremely tough to endure.

Secondly, I think that the classmates in the schoolroom in Venus, played another huge role in Margot's harsh treatment. "'Speak when you're spoken to.' He gave her a shove" William, one of the classmates, had laid such an enormously negative impact on her, which weaved the personality of Margot into a frail girl who looked as if she had been lost in the rain for years. This is definitely prejudice as observed from his tone, whereby he puts himself far above Margot, lacking respect, and mostly, giving her a shove. A shove may mean a tiny tug or a strong push. In this case, judging by the disrespect and  prejudicial treatment on Margot, I would conclude William did it out of purpose and motive- to inflict fear and harm, so as to abide to what he says.

Thirdly, all the boys and girls in the class play a part by participating in the locking of her in the closet. " They all blinked at him and then, understanding, laughed  and shook their heads." This sentence indicates distrust in Margot's statement that the sun will appear like a penny. Laughing at someone after she tries to tell you upon her memory, is just unacceptable as laughing would put someone down, and despise her. These mischievous and very unthoughtful children laughed, then blinked,and shook their heads. It would then go with the assumption that they were supportive of William. Margot's loneliness and ill-treatment rooted from a" gang" - the school children.

I think that William should be held the main responsible bully for Margot's treatment. This is because he was the one who did the action, example pushing and shoving her, blasting her off rudely, as a result, signs of disrespect and prejudicial harm were inflicted on poor Margot. Along with the other children, despite the fact that they were supportive of William's wrongdoings , but did not carry out anything mean or harsh, it is still partly considered in bullying.

This social prejudice amongst them would make Margot feel worse and indignant, maybe scarring her dignity. As such, I agree that William and the children were responsible for carving the harshness of the treatment Margot received.

LA-ACE.
Imagine yourself as one of the school children; what might you have chosen to do which would have led to a positive outcome?

Define positive outcome. Positive outcome in this term here would probably be associated with a declination of the ill-treatment Margot received, and maybe abolishing prejudice . What exactly could have lightened this negative treatment?

Probably, if I were one of the school children, I would  not have chosen to play along with the others, plus William, to purposely bully Margot -be it physical or psychological . With one less person blaming her, and shoving her, and pushing all the responsibility and poor judgement to her, she would feel much better; at least one person bothered, cared, for her, hence it may change her morale a bit, and cheer her up.

In addition to not associating with the naughty children, I would stand on Margot's side, and stand up for her. I would  have chosen to block off, any assumed prejudicial harm on Margot, by defending her against all means - physical or physiological-, and talk back for her, to shake off any lingering mean , harsh hurting sentences meant to put her down as a motive of prejudice.

When Margot is alone, I would accompany her to abolish her loneliness, and try to make friends with her. Friendship, is essentially important in one, as friends can confide in one another ; hence she wouldn't have to bottle up her feelings, and that would remove the frailties in her heart. Not for the sake of friendship would I be her friend, but for love and kindness that would propel me forward despite all the predicted hatred, or intolerance,  I will be receiving from the other school mates.

If I was there, at that moment where the tiny part of " All Summer In a Day" was written, I would never have allowed Margot to be shouted at and shoved by, let alone be closed up in the closet. I would firmly reject all unnecessary prejudicial treatment towards her, despite the chances of them listening to me. If I were to allow such to occur, I would not be considered a friend at all.

And when Margot was sharing her memory- in which she tried hard to recall-, I would listen to her attentively and trust that what she had said is true despite all the environmental odds that circumstance against me. With one more person trusting her, definitely she would feel much better.

In conclusion, friendship is very important in one, as it is essentially potent for a halt in prejudice. Hence I would make friends with Margot, and try my best to assure that no harm can be inflicted unto her, as such risking my friendship with the others. But it would be my choice to befriend Margot than them, as of explained earlier, and thus conjuring up a positive outcome; a clear declination of the mistreatment of Margot.
