30. Answer The characters who change are all the kids who get to go outside. In the beginning of the story, they enjoy picking on Margot and locking her in the closet. But at the end, they all feel ashamed and guilty that Margot didn't get to see the sun. That’s why they won’t look at each other and why their faces are solemn. They learn that the consequences of their actions were much worse than they had expected. Margot seems like the main character, but she doesn’t change in this story: She’s the victim of bullying in the beginning, and she’s the victim at the end. Summary you should write: The children learn that there are consequences to actions. They felt guilty. Bullying is never acceptable. Margot is the victim in the story.
