The author had a good purpose in writing this story. (Bradbury, 3)This shows the impact you can have on somebody. They unlocked the door, even more slowly, and let Margot out. They walked over to the closet door slowly and stood by it. When the kids accidentally forgot to let her out of the closet, they cost her a joy that would last for the next seven years. She vaguely remembers the sun and tells them about it but nobody believes her. Margot was made fun of because she, unlike the rest of the children, came from Earth. When the rain starts to clear up the get so wrapped up in their excitement that they forget to let her out.

They lock her in the closet with the intention of letting her out. In the story, Margot, the main character, is made fun of by her classmates. Something said or done may impact somebody in unimaginable ways. Who knows when it will be time to die, when close ones will die, or if well wake up tomorrow and be blind or deaf.

She was a frail girl who looked as if she had been lost in the rain for years and the rain had washed out the blue from her eyes and the red from her mouth and the yellow from her hair (Bradbury, 1).

Pretty soon there will be so many people we will not be able to function as a society. tells us that One of the reasons 3rd world countries are so unhealthy is that there is not enough food to go around.

The day is not that far away in which we must come up with a solution on how to control the Earths population.

The story tries to solve this by having people move to Venus, but in the process they must sacrifice the sun. Overpopulation is becoming a serious problem for the planet Earth and we must find a way to fix it. There are 250,000 children born every day.
