    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.

    I favored the DVD over the written version of A Christmas Carol. Short stories and novels are not as interesting in my opinion. The book had a much darker tone throughout it. The movie had a slightly more lighthearted tone, with Scrooge laughing more often.…

    Christmas Carol

    In the novel A Christmas Carol, the author [Charles Dickens pg. 637] stated, “Spirit, please, make me visible! Make me audible! I want to talk to my nephew and my niece”! This proves that scrooge is a dynamic character. In the beginning of the novel Fred tried to invite Scrooge over for Christmas dinner. Scrooge did not listen to him my saying “Bah Humbug” [Dickens 603] and “Good afternoon” [Dickens 604] to get rid of his nephew because he obviously wanted no part with him. Scrooge later wanted to talk to them about apologizing the way he acted towards him. He also wanted to celebrate Christmas with them. Scrooge wanted to be with his nephew and niece on Christmas rather then it being an average work day. Also in the novel the Christmas Carol, the author [Dickens pg.646] stated, “I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all year. I will live in the past, the present, and the future. The spirits of all three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach. Oh tell me that I will sponge away the writing that is upon this stone”. This is a huge part of how scrooge is a dynamic character. Scrooge said that he will honor Christmas all throughout the year and in the beginning of the story he took in as just another ordinary day. He will remember the past the present and the future. In the very beginning of the novel Scrooge did not care about his past live, the activity going on now and the upcoming. All he cared about was making enough money for himself. In the beginning when Marley said that you are going to be visited by three ghosts. Scrooge said that he would rather not. Then he said he would always keep the lessons that they taught within him and he would always let them strive with him. Those two are examples of how Scrooge has changed throughout the book of the lessons the ghost have taught him. That shows that Scrooge is a dynamic character.…

    In the play, the Ghost of Christmas Past showed Scrooge what he was like in the past. In the past, Scrooge’s father did not like him because his father lost his mother during Ebenezer’s birth. As a child, he was all alone, no friends, and with a father who did not love him. Later in the play, the Ghost of Christmas Present comes to show Scrooge everybody having a wonderful Christmas Eve. Mr. Scrooge, now being a very greedy man, does not enjoy the Christmas season, or really anyone at all. He sees it as a waste of money and a “Humbug!” (Dickens 7) At the end of the play, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows Scrooge dead and all alone. This made Scrooge realize that he needed to act differently and should be nicer to the other people in his community. Scrooge began to become a friendlier person and began to enjoy Christmas time. (Dickens 32) Scrooge also did anonymous acts of kindness for…

    Set in the 1840s on Christmas Eve, A Christmas Carol chronicles the personal transformation of the protagonist, Ebenezer Scrooge, the proprietor of a London counting house. A wealthy, elderly man, Scrooge is considered miserly and misanthropic: he has no wife or children; he throws out two men collecting for charity; he bullies and underpays his loyal clerk, Bob Cratchit; and he dismisses the Christmas dinner invitation of his kind nephew, Fred. Moreover, Scrooge is a strong supporter of the Poor Law of 1834, which allowed the poor to be interned in workhouses. As he prepares for bed on Christmas Eve in his solitary, dark chambers, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former partner, Jacob Marley. In life Marley was very similar in attitude and temperament to Scrooge: remote, cruel, and parsimonious. In death he has learned the value of compassion and warns Scrooge to reform his ways before it is too late. Marley announces that Scrooge will be visited by three more specters: the Spirits of…
