Sundowner

Sundowner - a drink consisting of whisky and soda, an epitome of the British empire 'on which the sun never set'. The worksheet explores the title of the story in relation to the British empire, Mr Das' plans and the culture/tradition of the residents in the rubber plantation.

A graphic organiser is included to show the similarities between the plans of the British rulers and Mr Das. It is apparent that although there is a change of management, the old ways of the people will not change overnight (or when the sun sets), a hint that the attempts to transform the people's way of living were and are futile.
