10: All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury
- #5What was the reason behind the children's indifferent attitude towards Margot?Ans : The children were jealous and cruel towards Margot. It was due to the natural tendency of human beings that when one is devoid of something that other gets, he or she feels indifference. The same thing happened to them. Since Margot had recently shifted to the planet Venus and she had all the memories of Earth, the children felt jealous of her. They could not accept the fact that Margot had the experience of living under the sun that was why they confronted and bullied her.
