Clara’s Day is a short story written by, Penelope Lively in 1986. The story is about a girl named Clara. One day, at a regular school day she takes all of her clothes off, at the school assembly and walks down the halls and walks past The Head and the other girls.
We get the idea that it is a school for girls, which they still have in the UK. “Most of the school had gone home but all those in Clara's form who had boyfriends at St Benet's, which was practically everyone, were hanging around the bus station deliberately not catching buses because St Benet's came out half an hour later.” (P. 54, L. 9)
Later on, she walks into a form room, where she puts on a science overall. While she’s sitting in the form, a teacher enters carrying Clara’s clothes and shoes. Mrs. Mayhew asks Clara to put on the clothes and asks if she wants to go home, but she did not want to. All morn people kept coming up to her patting her back and telling her: “Well done!”
But at dinner-time it began to tail off.
Clara is 15-and-a-half-year-old, she is a descent, normal and quiet girl. Her parents are divorced and Clara lives in London with her mother and her mother’s kind-off-boyfriend Stan.
