I think that the Venus children did not do very well in dealing with someone who was different from them because they were not just a bit cruel to her by locking her in a closet but also they could not accept that the one person who was so different from them got to see something that they had only dreamed of seeing. I think that in reality, if we encounter anyone who is different from the rest of the "group", we should embrace that person's indifference and we shouldn't shun him/her away. What the Venus children lacked i feel was the inability to feel for Margot and, what she missed back on Earth.
But i also think that Margot was not really trying to fit in at all with the other children as not only did she ignore them and not join in with them in their games, although the children did try and include her at first, but she kept to herself and always sat on her own, not trying to be a part of the class.Not just that, but Margot was always sulking about how she wanted to go back down to Earth, and didn't try and adapt to the life on Venus.
I think she should not have done this as if she had accepted her classmate's invites to join their games, she might have been able to actually enjoy her time on Venus. also i think that if she didn't ignore her classmates, she wouldn't have been shut in the closet and deprived of her time to see the sun. what Both the Venus children and Margot should both learn to have is patience and to have acceptance towards both parties
