"All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury

Setting:

- Location: A colony on Venus, where it constantly rains and the sun only comes out for one hour every seven years.

- Atmosphere: Claustrophobic, dreary, and oppressive due to the relentless rain and darkness.

Analysis:

- Impact on Characters: The setting heightens the characters' longing and desperation for sunlight, making Margot's memories of the sun more poignant and isolating her from the other children.

- Symbolism: The unending rain symbolizes the

suppression of joy and hope. The brief appearance of the sun represents fleeting moments of happiness and the cruelty of missed opportunities.

- Themes: The setting underscores themes of isolation, the effects of environment on mental health, and the cruelty that can arise from envy and misunderstanding

"Eleven" by Sandra Cisneros
