Over 3.2 million students are victims of bullying each year (Andrea, 2014) Throughout various schools many children are faced with getting bullied and do not have the courage to speak up about it. In the short story and movie, “All Summer in a day” by the author Ray Bradbury and director Eric Kaplan, demonstrates how a young girl has moved to Venus.

The students blamed William for putting Margot in the closet. The students acted as if they had no part in William’s plan, but the students had a part on it because when he put Margot in the closet nobody said anything. As a result, Margot was not the only one to be imperfect, but the students as well.
Throughout the short story and the movie, “All Summer in a day” it demonstrated that no one is perfect and everyone is unique. It also showed that people need to respect the way others do things and not make fun. The students understood that there actions toward Margot were troublesome and they should have done something on that matter, the short story and the film’s theme of people not being perfect was clear. Therefore, humans beings are not perfect and they should stand up for other people, who are getting bullied or laughed at. People can take manners in their own
