How does Ray Bradbury's description of Margot's appearance in "All Summer in a Day" also give insight into her feelings?

Answer:

The description of Margot as a frail girl who had lost her vibrancy shows that she was in eager anticipation of the rain.

Explanation:

The short story, "All Summer in a Day", tells of how a girl named Margot always stood differently from her classmates because she eagerly anticipated a time when the sun will come out as the scientists projected. It had been raining in this planet, Venus for seven years non-stop.

Margot who came from planet earth some five years ago could still clearly recall how the sun looked like and despite her description of it, the children still doubted her. On the day the sun finally came, the children locked Margot in a closet and she was unable to see the sun.
