In this blog post, we will be reading the story: All Summer in a day by Ray Bradbury.
Slackening - Means become lazy or slow, or losing speed.
Tumultuous - Means a sudden loud sound or it could mean being excited.
Apparatus - Just means equipment or machinery.
The exposition of the story is that earth has developed sufficient enough travel methods, to go from earth to venus and back. In the story they live in, it has been raining every day for 7 years and the children have forgotten what the sun was like, apart from Margot, she seen the sun when she was 2 before she was sent to venus.
"The children pressed to each other like so many roses, so many weeds, intermixed, peering out for a look at the hidden sun." This includes sensory language, a simile, and a metaphor.
"They stood as if someone had driven
them, like so many stakes, into the floor." for the show not tell.
