Judgment Regarding Books A Medicine for Melancholy and Other Stories
One of Bradbury's best short stories, this one came to be re-printed often as it is imaginative, poignant and still fun to read. Taking the premise that the characters of the story are on a planet where it rains constantly, and the sun shines in only one day, revealing instantly blossoming plants, and equally blooming spirits of the children, the images Bradbury creates become archetypal for his brand of narrative. Short and sweet, just like the flowers on Venus, this is one of Bradbury's best,

***NO SPOILERS***Note: This review is for the short story All Summer in a Day, which was the title I originally shelved; someone changed the book page to A Medicine for Melancholy and Other Stories.All Summer in a Day: the four-page short story with a greater lasting impression than many short stories five times as long. Bradbury envisioned a continuously dreary, rainy Venus populated by humans who have moved there from Earth. Every seven years, for a single hour on a single day, Venuss rain

...yes, I remember now. I read this story many years ago, when I was still just a child. I was probably younger than even the kids in this story who are all nine. I remember reading this because of the impact it left on me for the rest of my life. It's a story that is one of the only ones I remember out of those early years of my childhood. And it revolutionized my world. It introduced me to so many things. It showed me a world that was not mine, a world as foreign and alien as if I had been

I think the sun is a flower,That blooms for just one hour.Beautiful and poignant, with so much emotion conveyed in so few words.This is a great story to open up the issues of bullying and discrimination and I encourage you to read it.

"Sometimes, at night, she heard them stir, in remembrance, and she knew they were dreaming and remembering gold or a yellow crayon or a coin large enough to buy the world with. She knew they thought they remembered a warmness, like a blushing in the face, in the body, in the arms and legsand trembling hands. But then they always awoke to the tatting drum, the endless shaking down of clear bead necklaces upon the roof, the walk, the gardens, the forests, and their dreams were gone."Again I think

Ray Bradbury passed away Tuesday night, and his grandson had this to say about the author's work: "...his stories lifted people up and saved them from lonely summers. Who among us was never buried deep in a Bradbury story, lost in his meticulously yet effortlessly crafted metaphor?" (i09)In four pages, All Summer In A Day speaks eloquently about hope, power, cruelty and injustice. Or in other words, people can be jerks and life isn't always fair.

I just heard a podcast recommending this short story and I just had to read it it's awesome so creepy at the end and heartbreaking this is a perfect short story for kids to read around the topic of bullying man it's so awesome
