English

Liula [17]3 years ago

Answer:

In paragraph 23 of Ray Bradbury's All Summer in a Day, Margot is created as a nine-year-old protagonist who relocates from Earth to Venus.

On this occasion (Page 23 that is,) she is featured in an emotional state wherein she misses her home planet and the intensity of the Sun she felt.

She expresses these memories and positive feelings using metaphorical statements such as the sun being a flower that blooms for only an hour every seven years on Venus.

In contrast to Earth, the sun was available for about 7 hours per day, every day.

Explanation:

The text from which the question is excerpted is a science fiction genre written in 1950.

Because Venus is about 67 million miles from the sun (that is, seventy-two percent of the distance from Earth to the sun, there is a great difference in the amount of daylight received on Earth in contrast to that which is received on Venus.

For Margot, she was very homesick. She imagined that the kids her age at Venus had even forgotten how the sun looked like given that it appeared about seven years ago for just one hour.

The above is the picture the writer tries to capture in the story.
