Compare Rocktalker And All Summer In A Day - 1124 Words

The two stories that I am comparing are â€Å"Rocktalker† by Stuart Baum and â€Å"All Summer In A Day† by Ray Bradbury. Rocktalker by Stuart Baum is about a girl named Lucy who talks to rocks. When she told her classmates, they didn t believe her and she got bullied for a while. As she got older, she became interested in an archeologist.
