Often times in our society, people act different when they are amongst their peers. This is similar to what happens in All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury, when all of the students gang up on Margot to put her in the closet.
For this blog entry, consider the following questions:
- How important is the group feeling for the plot of this story?
- Do you think that the children would have treated Margot as they did if there had not been many against one?
- What has your own experience, or your reading of this piece, shown you about group behavior versus individual behavior?
- What are the dangers – both in the story and real life – of being a part of big groups?
