    The Grinch shows how people can change over time in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". The Narrator states, "And what happened then, Well... In Who-Ville they say that the Grinch's heart grew 3 sizes that day" (Seuss) This shows that the Grinch physically changed through the story and was able to give back the Christmas presents he stole back to all the people from Who-Ville. The narrator states, "The Grinch carved the roast beast" (Seuss) This shows that the Grinch became from going to ruining Christmas for others, to cutting food that describes the Christmas year for people from Who-Ville.

    Dickens purposefully describes the setting in the book with adjectives that could be applied to the reality of Victorian England at the time. The industrial revolution was in full swing and the over populated conditions were forcing people to sleep on the streets and work 12 hour days to make ends meet. In the first stave, Dickens introduces us to the character Ebenezer Scrooge who embodies all of these reasons for the failings of Christmas.The narrator desribes him as 'hard and sharp as flint' -harsh words that sound awfully similar to the way Dickens describes the conditions of the English Streets- 'cold, bleak and biting'. Dickens clearly outlines using this language that is is aware of the problems and conditions of their struggling society. He then goes on to point out that good fortune can come in the form of love and family and embodies this ideal in his model lower-middle class family, the Cratchits. "They were not a handsome family...But they were happy, grateful, pleased with…

    Dickens' much-loved short story A Christmas Carol was printed in 1843, along with the purpose of getting the attention of the reader to the dilemma of England's underprivileged people. In the story, Dickens furtively joins a fairly roundabout picture of poverty experienced by the deprived with a pitiful, sentimental festivity of the season of Christmas. The heartless character of the frugal Ebenezer Scrooge, who pours his heart when deal with three ghosts; continue as Dickens' most extensively well-known and admired work. The spirit of Christmas Past, along with his gleaming head representing the brain, stands for reminiscences; the spirit of Christmas Present symbolizes kindness, compassion, and the mood of Christmas; plus the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come signify the terror of bereavement and ethical reckoning. In addition the Cratchits stand for the unfortunate, whom Dicken represents with affection and understanding as seeking to get attention to their troubles. By means of A Christmas Carol, Dickens wishes to exemplify how insensitive, self-serving individuals are able to be transformed into generous, kind, and socially alert people of the world due to the intervention of moralistic quasi-religious instructions. This short story is subjugated by a single character, Ebenezer Scrooge. The aim of the novella is to demonstrate why and how he transforms. “Through his simple festive allegory, Dickens draws attention to the role individuals can play in bringing about social reform and helping the poor, pointing out in the process they may redeem both themselves and their society” (Collet Daiute)…
