- I believe that the kids do sympathize Margot and feel bad for her after seeing the sun because they now understand how marvelous it was and how perfect it was to her description. They realize at the end that they shouldn’t have locked her in the closet and ruined her chance of seeing the sun once for the next seven years.
2. I believe Margot acts the way she does is because she stayed on earth longer than any other kid. I feel that she is traumatized by the move and misses the earth and how the sun use to beat down on her everyday. All the other kids do not like her because of her differences and I believe that plays into why she does not play with the other kids.
3. I believe why the other kids are so mean to Margot is because they are all jealous that she still remembers how the sun use be. They do not know to deal with their jealousy so they treat her horribly. They are indanyl that the way she describes the sun is true because of their jealousy and her differences.
4. Once they let Margot out of the closet, I believe that Margot is now even more sad and extremely depressed that she missed seeing the sun. The kids must feel bad for their actions because they felt guilt once they forgot that Margot was still in the closet when they got back. I feel that the connection between Margot and the others is even worse than it was before.
5. The sun represents life and hope. That’s why Margot truly wanted to see the sun because it would remind her of how real life use to be on Earth. It isn’t healthy for people never to be in the sun because our bodies absorb vitamin D to survive. The story states that they have sun lamps for people on Venus so they can absorb some vitamin D but heat lamps can not compete with the natural sources of the sun.
6. The theme of the story is about how people can be ignorant of things and only see things one way because have only ever experienced something one way and from one point of view.
