The last of the Spirits
Tonight the last of the spirits came.
The Ghost, it looked nothing but dreadful, mysterious, foreboding and ghastly. It was like a shadow leading me to the future. His transparent hands pointed to the places he wanted to show me but never said a word, as he was mute.
Since I had met the Ghost I felt something wicked, awful, deadly and wrong was going to happen.

Visit to the City and the Man’s Funeral
The spirit took me to the City, where I overheard three men talking about someone who had died. They said he was miserly, greedy and uncharitable person. It must be a person like me I thought. They said there was a funeral, other ladies said that they were only going if there was free lunch. What a nasty thought they had it was so meloncholy for the man.

Visit to the pawn brokers.
Later on he took me to old joe the pawnbroker, where the Charwoman, Laundress and the Undertaker were and they were selling the man’s possessions to Old Joe. The Charwoman sold the bed curtains, sheets and night clothes. The laundress sold sheets, towels, clothes teaspoons,sugar tongs and boots. The undertaker sold the seal, pencil-case, sleeve buttons and brooches they should be ashamed of themselves. Selling someone’s possessions, it’s like the worst thing you would do. What did that man do wrong? I didn’t now.

I was desperate to see some tenderness connected with a death but, instead of being taken to see the dead man’s family, I was transported to the house of grieving Crachits. I should have given Bob more pay and time off ! I feel so sorry for Tiny Tim. How could I have been so penny- pinhing ? At the moment I found out that Tiny Tim was dead, I was disonsolate. The poor, poorboy. God bless him !

The final visit was the most terrifying and the most life changing: I foresay my own death and faced my lonely grave, it was far away from the other grave’s, between the

    When I read this story it showed how Scrooge changed during the three visits from each spirit the first one was the ghost of christmas past, the second was the ghost of the christmas present, the third one was the ghost of the christmas future and it talked about how it has affected scrooge in the past, present, and the future, I think the future affected him the most because he thought having a lot of money would make him a popular person, but when he saw his death, and he was alone, he began to realize money is not what makes family, he thinks about tiny tim about that tiny tim is not rich but he is everyone favorite.

    It was still in its nondestroyed state. I was with my friends from night one plus my friend's mother that I mentioned earlier as well, and my own parents. I walked into the building and I saw that room with a locked door that has the light on at all times. I was told to never go inside of that room. They told me that it was not for me to go into. I was going on vacation to this house for some reason so I had to unpack my bag in a bedroom. The house was very old so I ignored any movement that I heard I put my things on the bed and I was very cold. My mom called out for me to go to the main room. I went out there and noticed that people were crucified, hanged, torn in half, and burned. The door with a mysterious light was open and the girl was standing in front of it. I was afraid not because of the bodies but because the door was open. The girl motioned for me to come to her and I was unable to resist walking to her. As I got closer she looked more disfigured and evil. Her eyes were the biggest part that I remember. They were black with light pupils. She had claws like in my earlier dreams and she had a scream that paralyzed me. She ran at me and right as she was about to hit me I saw every event that I have that I have done to help or hinder people in real life. This felt like it went on forever and then I woke up screaming and in a cold sweat. My mother was trying to wake me up for ten minutes because of my screams. I knew that something was wrong at this…

    The last ghost approaches, but is shrouded in a black garment so that al Scrooge can see of it is an outstretched hand a mass of black. This figure fills him with greater dread than any other ghost. It doesn’t speak to him and beckons mysteriously with it’s hand. Scrooge guesses aloud, “I am in the presence of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come?” And the ghost replies with a slight movement of its head. THough he fears the ghost, Scrooge urges it desperately to show him what it has for him. The spirits so far have been quite benevolent - glowing, childlike, and gentle. They have guided Scrooge through their visions firmly but somewhat sympathetically. But the last spirit brings the moral lesson home. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows Scrooge that the unknown, unseen fate that he is heading for is really something to fear deeply. Scrooge realizes that the ghost is looking at him again, and feels a new surge of terror. The ghost leads him to an infamous part of town, full of misery and crime.
