The themes of
All Summer In A Day and If Only We Had Taller Been are as

a story about a bunch of children wanting to see the sun, and
another about a persons desire to touch the sky, would seem like

incredibly easy to see that both of Ray Bradburys stories have
more in common than in contrast. The theme of All Summer In A
Day, when someone is overcome with jealousy, their actions are
completely dictated by it, shows how the desire to see the sun had
a negative impact on the characters. The theme of If Only We Had
Taller Been, humanity is never fully satisfied with the status quo
and is always striving to do more, shows how the desire for more
has a positive impact on the characters. This would be considered
as a difference, but both stories still contain the desire for
more.

the characters are fueled by jealousy and in If Only We Had Taller
Been the narrator is solely fueled by his striving for more.
However, the characters want for what they crave is
