The author of All Summer in a Day wrote it in the style of a classic tragedy meant to evoke pity and also some fear on the part of the reader. Though far from a scary story, the author does succeed in describing the events so that the reader can understand Margot's fear. The tragedy comes in the form of cruelty against Margot and a deep sense of loss from missing a very rare couple of hours of sunlight. It is this tragic event that makes the reader feel pity for Margot.
The author succeeds in evoking feelings of pity for her through the descriptive language that describes both the dark and dreary continuous rainstorms and the wonder of a couple of hours of brilliant sunshine that comes only once every seven years. Pity for Margot comes when she is locked in a closet by the other children and robbed of the chance to see the sun. Prior to the event of being locked in the closet, the author describes how Margot is isolated, an outsider set apart from the rest of the children. Before Margot is ever locked in the closet and robbed of the sun, the reader feels sorry for her which only makes the cruel act of the children evoke more pity.
