Case Assignment

Case 3 is a social commentary literary analysis. In an organized

and well-supported essay, discuss Ray Bradbury’s, “All Summer in

a Day” as a social commentary. What is the author’s message and

to whom is it directed? Is it an important message and if so, what

may have prompted Bradbury to write? Using a rhetorical means to

make a point is typically done for awareness and to encourage

action or change by informing the reader of an issue while

appealing to one’s emotions and sense of responsibility.

The first person “I” is not used in a formal essay.

No secondary sources are to be used in the process of writing this

first essay; it is to be entirely written based on one’s point of view

and supported with body points and details.
