Essay on "The pudding like a night on the sea"
"The Pudding like a night on the sea" by Ann Cameron, is about a father who put his sons, Huey and Julian, into a challenge, to see if he could trust them.
Firstly the father made a pudding for his wife, later on he went to take a nap and he prohibited his sons to eat it, and he asked them to take care of it. With this challenge the father wanted to see if he could trust his sons on something little, so as he could know if he could trust them on something bigger or more important.
Julian and Huey ate the pudding. When the father woke up he noticed what they had done and he said that there would be some beating and whipping, the two kids thought that his father was going to hit them, but actually he was talking about cooking. He wanted them to make a new pudding. In the first place it shows the children were unfair to their father, but after they regretted what they had done, the father knew that after all, they learned the lesson and he could trust them. The father's method was fair because for example if you break something it is just to repair it.
As a conclusion the father realised that even though his sons made a mistake the kids were regretful and the accepted the punishment. The next time they won't do it, and that he could trust them.
