Answer:
Traveling to distant places gives us opportunities to expand our experiences. We learn what it’s like to live in different environments, taste new foods, and meet new people. Naturally, we like to compare these places to our home.
But what if you moved far away from your home at an early age and only had a brief remembrance of what that different life was like? “All Summer in a Day” is a story about a young girl, Margot, who holds on to the faintest memories of her former home, but at what cost?
Dialogue and Conflict
You will read the exposition and beginning of the rising action in the short story “All Summer in a Day,” by Ray Bradbury. The story begins with dialogue. Just as in real life, dialogue in a story can be very meaningful. It may serve to move the story forward, reveal aspects of character, or prompt a character to make a decision. Dialogue can also reveal conflict.
In order to appreciate what dialogue can do, you want to make sure you can follow the conversation. As you read, pay close attention to the switching of one character’s dialogue for another’s. You will know when the speaker switches because a new line will begin and the quotation marks clue you in about when a speaker is finished with his or her thought.
