‘All Summer in a Day’
You are forced into this place, a place where sights of the sun are rare, a rareness the drives you insane and fearful, insane enough to a quagmire inside yourself between life and death. You fear yourself, for you put yourself in this situation of solemn separation. Margot fears herself, though she may not know it, for she secludes herself in a way the other children cannot. She brings upon herself, the loss of friends. A loss that cannot be forgotten or forgiven. A person's fear is theirs and only theirs, making it a part of them, forcing them to fear themselves.　　　 　
Margot is stuck in a world of tragedy. 　Forced to move from the place where the sun shines frequently, to a world of darkness and rain, where depression devours her until she is nothing but a girl of death-looking appearance among children of life. 　She has an absence that steers children away. 　Finally, something other than the sun brings her out of death, the only thing that could, Truth and the sun, as she states in her frequent talks and poems about the sun, her only hope. Her only obstacle, the wall she put up between herself and the children, one that cannot be broken. This one mistake, like ours, can be strong enough to keep us from our hopes and desires. A person’s past will come back to haunt them, almost like karma, forcing them on a chain, allowing little leash for life. 　　　 　
Without the sun, Margot is the living dead. 　Her past won’t allow her to come back from depression. 　It is the leash of her life, giving her happiness sparingly. 　　Only she can control that leash though, for she chose her past, present, and future. 　She is her own quagmire, stuck in herself, between life and death. Separate from others, because of herself, her fear, her enemy, her life.
