The film version of ¨A Christmas Carol¨ is extremely more preferable. The literature version just simply doesn’t give off as much of a mood‚ the text is extremely too dull. In written form the story isn’t pulling me in‚ and appears like a fantasy. The text is just not appealing‚ and that’s the main reason why the movie is better. Although I love to read‚ I like watching movies better. Both the movie‚ and the story are very fun to watch and read. I recommend you to check them out‚ they’ll most likely

Jilted at the alter by her one true love‚ Dickens portrayed Havisham as an old spinster‚ her life wasted away trying to gain revenge on all men. Through her dramatic monologue ’Havisham’‚ Duffy gives the disturbed old woman a voice to express her feelings about her wasted life. One of the themes that I found fascinating in this poem was the idea that a moment of betrayal can
