     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.

Diary Entry- Sujata Bhatt-

11th June 1944


Dear Diary,
          Today was a strange day! I woke up as usual, and when i went to my kitchen to have breakfast, before going to school, my mother was there, a little bit nervous I can say. I didn't ask her anything, I thought she was like this because it was early in the morning, she's always like this! : ).
           I was about to go to school when my mother told me she would take  me. I got angry because I like going to school with my friends. I was about to ahout at her, when I realised that something was wrong. In the way to school I saw plenty of strange men, they were equiped with guns, they wore different  clothes, they were carrying not an Indian flag and they talked in a strange language, I just undestood "uhcadcghjgsd"! jajajjaja. It was so funny to hear them!
           In the school everybody was talking about it! It was the THEME OF THE DAY AT SCHOOL! Every kid found it as a "joke" because we thought it wasn't a seriuos thing. Our teachers told us that the British's  were ATTACKING INDIA! and they were trying to colonize India, yes C-O-L-O-N-I-Z-E it. After it, I came down to earth, I mean I  understood why my mom was like that.
           When I came back to my home my parents explained to me everything. Fortunately nothing happened to my family today!


                                                                             Hope to write to you tomorrow.
                                               (I would not write to you if something happens to me)
