Who should be help responsible for Margot's treatment, and why.
I feel that the whole class was responsible for Margot's treatment. The whole class did not take Margot as part of the class and isolated her from everything. The main reason was because they were jealous that Margot was from Earth and could still remember how the sun looked like when they only saw the sun once when they were two and have forgotten how the sun looked like. The class treated Margot very harshly and bullied her, saying that the sun was not appearing when they knew that would hurt her a lot. During that time, none of the students stood up for Margot and told the class off. The entire class willingly joined in and even placed her in the closet to prevent her from seeing the sun. Furthermore, when the teacher asked if everyone was present, none of them owned up and told the teacher that Margot was not here. When the sun came out, the class played and played, completely forgotten that Margot was still in the closet and none of them bothered to let Margot out. Finally, the class remembers about Margot when the fun is over and the class guiltily opens the door to let Margot out. Thus, I feel that it was the that class is responsible for Margot's treatment.
What might someone have chosen to do which would have led to a positive outcome?
Someone could have just stood up to the class and the story would have a positive outcome. When the class was bullying Margot, someone could just stand by Margot and stand up to the class. Maybe then would the class see the light and stop what they were doing and Margot would no longer be alienated from the class anymore but part of the class. Perhaps the students were afraid that if they protested, they would be treated like Margot, thus they did not do anything. However, someone could have went inside and let Margot out when the sun was out and nobody would notice, instead nobody did anything about Margot and that resulted in the negative ending.
