Compare And Contrast The Christmas Carol

If “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens and the movie inspired by the book, “A Christmas Carol” by Jim Carrey can be different, but the same plot, then imagine how many other movies inspired by books out there that are the same way! Though both forms of literature are based off of the same plot, they do have their fair share of differences and similarities like any other adaption to a book. Even if it’s the slightest bit changed, it still will stick out like a sore thumb! It’s crazy how similar and different the book and movie can be at the same

Using the first spirit, Scrooge was forced to face the fact that people viewed him as greedy and selfish, and began to open him up to the fact that he needs to change. The second spirit, The Ghost of Christmas Present, arrived and took Scrooge to the home of a worker of his, Bob Cratchit. It showed the family content, despite barely getting by. When Scrooge saw Bob’s sick son, he began to show worry that he would not survive. When the spirit told him that the son would not make it to next Christmas, this made Scrooge want to help him. This kind of emotion was unlike him, showing that he was changing (CC40). The spirit then took him to several other Christmas gatherings, where he enjoyed himself and played many games, even though he was merely in a dream. This spirit was used to open up Scrooge and showed his inner want to be around people. These thoughts for Scrooge were different than his from the beginning of the novel, showing that the spirits were being used to teach valuable lessons to Scrooge. The final spirit arrived, but would not answer when asked if he was the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Scrooge plead with the ghost to share his lesson with him, fearful of becoming like Marley (CC51). The silent spirit took Scrooge to a series of strange places, showing people discussing the death of a dead rich man. He then began to understand the

One difference in the movie was that the Ghost of Christmas yet to come has a hand of skin. Not a hand without skin that was wrote in the book. I think that this makes a difference though because it doesn't show a big impact on the story. I think Charles Dickens put the skinless hand in his story to give his story a "chill-factor". I don't think that the director of the movie version of A Christmas Carol thought that it was a big deal or a big impact to the rest of the story. Another difference between book and movie is that Scrooge doesn't go to church at the end of the story. I think it makes a big difference though, because it shows how much Scrooge has changed since the three spirits came to visit him. It shows a before and after effect which I think made a big impact on the story. The last significant change between the book and the movie is that when Scrooge follows the Ghost of Christmas yet to come, he ends up falling into his grave. This is significant because Scrooge gets to meet the old Scrooge and gives him a slap in the face of reality of what's going to happen if things don't change. It's ironic too because it's the new Scrooge that wakes up on the bed in the morning.

The ghost of christmas past showed Scrooge multiple scenes showing how he treated people in the past and how he was wrong. One scene is where Past takes him back to his hometown where he sees everyone being happy and jolly and hearing the beautiful sing of christmas carolers. Past shows him that christmas isn't that bad and it never did anything to him. Past takes him back to when scrooge and his sister were back in school and how lonely they were but they still had each other. Scrooge rememberers how

Scrooge’s initial behavior is selfish, self centered, and VERY greedy. He has so much money but yet he pays his employees very little money. He buys cheap things for others but when its comes to himself, he buys the most expensive thing there is. When it comes to his nephew, Fred, he treats him like a dirty

In A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is a greedy, selfish man who doesn't think about others. When he meets the ghosts, Past shows how sad he was when he was young and how his greed made him lose his love. Present showed him how he affected those around him and how greedy he is. Future brings him to his death and how no one cared that he died and instead stole from his home. Similarities between the movie and the drama are the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. The differences are the lines and the scenes.

Scrooge just wants to live alone and make money. Money is the only thing he cares about. But, there is one day he hates the most and that day is Christmas day. There is a night in which the spirit of his dead best friend and work partner visits him. The Grinch is a creepy, angry, green creature who loves to hate.

In A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, the main character, Scrooge, is heavily influenced by Tiny Tim. Scrooge is an old, selfish, misanthropic man who despises Christmas and all that comes with it; joy happiness, and coming together with family. He is visited by three spirits, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet To Come, who try to change him for the better. During his experiences with these spirits, he watches over Tiny Tim. He is the son of Bob Crachit, Scrooge’s clerk.

Scrooge doesn't give money to the poor or to the men who came by his shop. Scrooge is a mad and selfish man because he thinks that money comes before everything. He is also a lonely person because he let his soon to become wife break off the marriage because he had another idol besides her, money. He is a hateful person because he thinks he has the right to be mad at his nephew

They over hear the news that Bob Cratchit’s son, Tiny Tim had succumbed! It was Scrooge's fault because Tiny Tim had been consumed by the darkness Scrooge lead.

The ghost of Christmas past visits Scrooge. He showed Scrooge the Christmas party he was at years ago. He sees himself dancing with a girl. This makes him happy. The ghost of Christmas past also shows Scrooge a time where Scrooge's father wants him home, and he gets his daughter to get him.

Why is Scrooge so emotionally connected to Tiny Tim? How is Scrooge affected by the Cratchit family?

The Grinch Who stole Christmas has been a hit movie for decades. It started off as a book and was made into a cartoon and a movie. While the book and the movie have some differences the fact that the grinch is known to hate Christmas, he steals the presents from everyone and the setting is the same in both the book and the movie make them somewhat similar. The first similarity between the book and the movie is that the Grinch has been known to hate Christmas. The book states, “ The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!” This is similar to the movie because in the movie the Grinch hates Christmas. When he was in school he was bullied around Christmas and he now hates all the Christmas activities.

Scrooge is a lonesome man in his late forties or fifties. Scrooge was not happy and he is a grumpy man and is always grouchy.

The movie was the same as the book at some points. One of the points that were the same was that the fact that there was 4 ghosts and that Marley was first seen on his door knocker, this shows that they payed good attention to detail. When the 3rd ghost took scrooge to the first place it was at the house that his worker lived and represented what the story said completely. The reaction of scrooge when he saw his name on the grave he started weeping of sadness, sorrow and grief. This is how the movie and the book are the same.
