Indeed, the sun brought about a positive change in the attitude of the children. At the beginning of the story, there was a lot of conflict between Margot and the other children. Because Margot was a nine years old girl who came to the planet of constant rain from the Earth five years ago. So, the girl was naturally remembering her earthly life, especially about the sun which was not visible on the planet Venus.
The sun would appear only once every seven years on the planet Venus. On that day, all the children were playing in the school except Margot, who was neglected by the other children because of her remembrance of the sun. One of the children, named William treated Margot very badly and locked her in a closet tunnel.
When the rain stopped, the sun came out and it was the color of flaming bronze and the jungle burned with the sunlight as the children released from their spell, rushed out and yelling into the springtime. After seeing the sun only, the children realized how Margot’s testimony was true and changed their attitude toward bullying Margot. Thus the sun brought about a positive change in the attitude of the children.
