Based upon what we know about the main character, Margot, what do you think happened after she was let out of the closet by the other children? Use evidence from the text to support your inference. (R.A.C.E.C.E.) You do not have to rewrite the end of the story, you can simply discuss what you think happens. en-us 2020-05-14 00:43:36 UTC 2020-12-09 16:32:20 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573129370 After the sun comes out, Margot is still in the closest and everyone else is outside seeing that the sun is just like she said. They realized that she was right and regretted putting her in the closet. In the text, it says “'Margot.' They stood as if someone had driven them, like so many stakes, into the floor. ” this shows how after the kids realize that Margot didn't get to see the sun because of them, they felt very guilty and sad for their actions. Also in the text, it says “They glanced out at the world that was raining now and raining and raining steadily. They could not meet each other's glances. Their faces were solemn and pale. They looked at their hands and feet, their faces down. ” this shows that they felt so bad about what they did that they wouldn't even look at up. I think next they will let Margot out of the closet and try to apologize to her, but she won't accept it and beg her parents to take her back to earth. She missed the sun and I don't think she is patient enough to wait another 7 years so she will at least ask for a vacation to earth.

Margot has been largely listless, withdrawn, and depressed. Her classmate William, is jealous so decide to get his classmates to help him shove Margot into a closet and lock it when the sun comes out. It says, "Hey, everyone, let's put her in a closet before the teacher comes!" "No," said Margot, falling back. They surged about her, caught her up and bore her, protesting, and then pleading, and then crying, back into a tunnel, a room, a closet, where they slammed and locked the door. ”Margot is shoved into a closet and is locked out. She cries and tries to get out, but everything is meaningless. It says, “And the jungle burned with sunlight as the children, released from their spell, rushed out, yelling into the springtime… They walked over to the closet door slowly and stood by it. Behind the closet door was only silence. They unlocked the door, even more slowly, and let Margot out. ”The children had a lot of fun in the sun and started to realize and understand the things Margot was saying. After the sun went down they remembered about Margot and opened the closet. The children felt very guilty about what they did to Margot and this may lead them to being a lot nicer to her from now on. But even after they let her go it was too late, Margot lost her passion for the sun. Even before she got trapped she was primarily known to be depressed: she does not join in the games of the other children, she stands apart from them, etc. But now that shehas lost her chance to see the sun, she now is likely to double down on that behavior and become even more listless and passive. Her anger towards the children will become even greater.

According to the text “And once, a month ago, she had refused to shower in the school shower-rooms, had clutched her hands to her ears and over her head, screaming the water mustn’t touch her head.” As shown in this quote, Margot refused to shower as a protest. I perceive this as Margot still clinging onto hope that she will see the sun again. This means the sun holds a very special place in Margot’s heart and not being able to see it and feel the warmth of the sun would break her like in the short movie. And as what happened in the story, Margot was locked up in a closet by her classmates so she would probably be devastated after realizing the sun has gone away. As for her classmates, according to the text “‘Margot!’ ‘What?’ ‘She’s still in the closet where we locked her.’ ‘Margot.’ They stood as if someone had driven them, like so many stakes, into the floor.” As shown in the quote, the children realized their mistake at locking up Margot in the closet. They probably feel bad for their actions like in the movie, and they would probably apologize to Margot. Overall, this is what I think would happen after Margot was let out.]]> 2020-05-14 16:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573145783 https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573149238 The children experienced guilt over what they had done. They were really mean to Margot. To show that in the text it says, “They surged about her, caught her up and bore her, protesting, and then pleading, and then crying, back into a tunnel, a room, a closet, where they slammed and locked the door. They stood looking at the door and saw it tremble from her beating and throwing herself against it. They heard her muffled cries. Then, smiling, the turned and went out and back down the tunnel, just as the teacher arrived”. That shows how the children were mean to Margot. They showed that negativity towards her because they were jealous of her. At the end though, the sun ended up coming out and they remembered they had locked Margot in a closet. In the text it says, “They stood as if someone had driven them, like so many stakes, into the floor. They looked at each other and then looked away. They glanced out at the world that was raining now and raining and raining steadily. They could not meet each other’s glances. Their faces were solemn and pale. They looked at their hands and feet, their faces down”. That was when they remembered about Margot. They seemed regretful, when they let Margot out of the closet. I think that the children may have learned that being mean to someone over jealousy won’t benefit you at all. As a resolution the children should apologize to Margot for being mean to her. That would really show that they learned a lesson.]]> 2020-05-14 16:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573149238 https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573290328 After Margot was freed from the closet, she most likely would be crying and very emotional because the sun meant a lot to her. The text states, “And then, of course, the biggest crime of all was that she had come here only five years ago from Earth, and she remembered the sun and the way the sun was and the sky was when she was four in Ohio”. This quote illustrates how Margot remembers the sun and how it felt. She really missed it because it shone through the clouds every day on Earth. When the children let her out of the closet they will feel very guilty. They all understand the meaning and importance of the sun and they finally got to see it. Since they were responsible for her not seeing it they will all understand their mistake and learn from it. The text states, “They stood as if someone had driven them, like so many stakes, into the floor. They looked at each other and then looked away”. This quote illustrates how the children didn’t know how to react to their mistakes. They were so ashamed that they couldn’t move.]]> 2020-05-14 17:16:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573290328 klin6593 https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573330601 I think Margot will be treated better by her classmates when she is let out. The other children have learned their lessons and regretted what they have done. According to the text, “They stood as if someone had driven them, like so many stakes, into the floor. They looked at each other and then looked away. They glanced out at the world that was raining now and raining and raining steadily. They could not meet each other’s glances. Their faces were solemn and pale. They looked at their hands and feet, their faces down.” They were avoding each other’s glances because they were guilty and solemn for locking Margot in the closet. They have seen the sun and there will be less differences between Margot and the other children. The other children won’t be jealous of Margot anymore since they have seen the sun. “But Margot remembered. ‘It’s like a penny,’ she said once, eyes closed. ‘No it’s not!’ the children cried. ‘It’s like a fire,’ she said, ‘in the stove.’ ‘You’re lying, you don’t remember! cried the children.” They were jealous because they don’t remember the sun. They also didn’t believe that she remembered the sun, but now they have, so they’ll most likely treat her better.]]> 2020-05-14 17:31:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573330601 https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573351061      After Margot was let out of the closet, the children must’ve apologized to her, as it’s stated that they felt bad about what they did. However, they most likely didn’t give second thought as to the lasting mental effects their “prank” had on Margot . The text states: “She was a very 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”, showing that Margot is a very delicate girl. In the story, she’s also primarily presented as depressed and antisocial. The text states: “She stood separate from the rest staring at the rain and the loud wet world beyond the huge glass.” Therefore, for such a delicate person to be treated so harshly does not fall short of being a crime. Margot most likely developed anxiety and became more antisocial than she once was. She would become even more listless and passive, and probably never expressed any of her thoughts about the sun ever again.

Once the sun was once again hidden by clouds and they realized that Margot was still in the closet, “They could not meet each other’s glances. Their faces were solemn and pale. They looked at their hands and feet, their faces down” (Bradbury 76). They clearly feel remorse from their actions an hour ago. Margot will probably be less enthusiastic about the sun. According to the text, it states, “Only when they sang about the sun and the summer did her lips move as she watched the drenched windows” (Bradbury 26). She had missed her opportunity, and it will be another seven years before another chance comes.]]> 2020-05-14 17:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573351337 https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573352631 After Margot is let out the closet, I think that she will become even more isolated and lonely than before. It says, "Margot stood apart from them, from these children who could never remember a time when there wasn’t rain and rain and rain." This shows that Margot is already anti-social and treated as an outcast. The text also says, "They surged about her, caught her up, and bore her, protesting, and
then pleading, and then crying, back into a tunnel, a room, a closet,
where they slammed and locked the door. They stood looking at the door and saw it tremble from her beating and throwing herself against it." This could show how this would cause Margot to become lonely because she would have a harder time gaining trust in people and being near them.]]> 2020-05-14 17:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573352631 https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573384956 When the sun came out Margot was trapped in the closet because the other kids locked her in there. Margot was originally from Earth where she experienced the sun everyday. But then she moved to Venus where the sun comes out one every 7 years. Ever since Margot arrived on Venus she had been missing the sun. She is the only one that has memories about seeing the sun. none of the other children believe. They also didn't believe her when she said the sun would come out so they locked her in the closet. When they came to let her out they realized that she was right.  But by the time they realized that she was right it was too late because the sun had disappeared. After she was let out of the closet she would have most likely sat down and wouldn't have said anything and kept the disappointment inside. Margot is isolated from the rest of the children and doesn't talk much to them even in hustle situations. According to the text, “Now she stood, separate, staring at the rain and the loud wet world beyond the huge glass. ‘What’re you looking at ?’ said William. Margot said nothing. ‘Speak when you’re spoken to.’ He gave her a shove. But she did not move; rather she let herself be moved only by him and nothing else. They edged away from her, they would not look at her. She felt them go away. And this was because she would play no games with them”. This shows that Margot was set apart from the rest of them and she wouldn't interact with them even when they bothered her. No matter how much they bothered her, she wouldn’t do anything to stop them. She wouldn't speak up. She wouldn't react when they were harsh to her like when they shoved her or yelled at her. As the text states, “ ‘You’re lying, you don’t remember !’ cried the children. But she remembered and stood quietly apart from all of them”. Margot just stood there when they called her a liar and did not stand up for herself. She would have probably done this too after she was let out of the closet. She would have probably ignored them.      ]]> 2020-05-14 17:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573384956 https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573402131 If the story continued, Margot would have probably been really upset to find out what she missed the sun. The first clue she would feel this way is she was very excited to see the sun again and was depressed without it “alone. She was a very 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”. This shows how Margot was greatly affected by the sun and from her constantly talking about it we knew she was excited to see it again. Later on in the text she is very upset about being locked in the closet. If the story continued the children would have really regretted what they did to margot since they now understand why she loved the sun so much, “The Childers lay out,laughing, on the jungle mattress, and heard it sigh and squeak under them, resilient and alive”. This shows the kids were enjoying the sun just as much as Margot did and will want to make it up to her. Some resolutions they could have made were telling her about the sun and trying to help her remember what it feels like. They can obviously be more nicer to her as well.]]> 2020-05-14 18:00:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573402131 mlopez2524 https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573485913 Based on the film, after Margot was let out of the closet, the kids feel bad and ask for forgiveness by giving her their flowers. I assume something similar would have happened in the text as well, since the director didn’t change too much of the text. Based on the film, once Margot is let out of the closet she goes outside in disbelief that she really missed the sun. Everyone aside from William goes up to her with their flowers and gives them to her. William is a little more reluctant to give them up, but in the end he does and they head inside. This is what the director of the film thought would happen, based on this and the text you can assume that Margot would have a more sad, kind, and more gentle approach. At the end of the text, the fact that the kids remembered and felt bad showed that they had changed. This means that they at least wanted to make things better for Margot. Even if she did react aggressively -which I doubt she would have- the others still felt bad and had wanted to make things right. So, I think that Margot would have been really disappointed she didn’t get to see the sun and the children that still felt bad for locking her in the closet would try to find a way to apologize.]]> 2020-05-14 18:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573485913 https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573511997 After the story ends, Margot probably leaves the closet and cries silently. This can be assumed because the text states, “She was a very 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. She was an old photograph dusted from an album, whitened away, and if she spoke at all her voice would be a ghost”(1-2). This proves that Margot is usually quiet and not very expressive, so it can be assumed that she would have a non-dramatic reaction, and she would probably avoid the other children for a while. The children would probably apologize quietly as well. The text states, “They looked at each other and then looked away. They glanced out at the world that was raining now and raining and raining steadily. They could not meet each other’s glances. Their faces were solemn and pale. They looked at their hands and feet, their faces down”(4). This shows that the children feel guilty and their tone is serious and quiet, meaning that they probably wouldn’t have a very large reaction either. They finally realize why Margot hated being on Venus and why she was so antisocial. ]]> 2020-05-14 18:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573511997 https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573731306 After the sun comes out, Margot is in the locked closet, while the children are out playing in the sunshine. Some time later, it starts raining again and the children go back in, and then remember that they had locked Margot inside the closet. They found her, and then released her from the closet. Based on what we know about Margot and the children, I think that what happened after Margot was released from the closet, was probably similar to what had happened in the film. The children had just experienced the sun/sunlight, and they learned what it felt like, to them and Margot. “ "It’s like a penny," she said once, eyes closed. "No it’s not!" the children cried. "It’s like a fire," she said, "in the stove." "You’re lying, you don’t remember !" cried the children.” Before the children saw the sun, they didn’t know what it looked like, but Margot knew, which led them to become angry towards her. However, after they saw the sun, they changed and understood Margot better. “They stood as if someone had driven them, like so many stakes, into the floor. They looked at each other and then looked away. They glanced out at the world that was raining now and raining and raining steadily. They could not meet each other’s glances. Their faces were solemn and pale. They looked at their hands and feet, their faces down.” This shows how they felt guilty since they had experienced the sun without Margot, who actually understood the sun and valued it. At the end, it would be probable that the children apologize to Margot in some kind of way, and she’ll be angry and sad at first, and then accept it, like in the film.]]> 2020-05-14 20:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jmast1/jkaaemvrtn35gwkl/wish/573731306
