Pee Christmas Carol

The journey to his childhood results in visible signs of emotion in Scrooge, which we do not associate with him to start with, as this one of the first ways that Dickens presents the change in Scrooge. ‘“Your lip is trembling”’. ‘“And what is that upon

For Scrooge is revolved around money, money, and oh yeah I forgot one more thing money. Scrooge hated Christmas. He did not even like to hear the word

‘If you please,’ said Scrooge. ‘Not a farthing less. A great many back payments are included in it, I assure you. Will you do me the favour?’” (Dickens 78)

As it is shown in A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is a man that cares mainly about his wealth. In the beginning of the story he is asked to give money to the less fortunate and destitute, his response is shocking, Scrooge says,” … I can’t afford to make idle people merry… they cost enough”. The men are tremendously disgusted by his statement. Scrooge shows that he mainly cares about keeping his wealth to himself, he doesn’t feel the need to give to others who are less fortunate. After they continue to speak, Scrooge also states,” If they would rather die, they better do it, and decrease the surplus population”. Scrooge feels that if people are going to be poor and not have as much wealth as him, that they should be put to work in factories, or they should just go away altogether. He mainly cares about how much

Often times, many people enjoy the gift of money and the happiness it brings. However, Charles Dickens writes to persuade otherwise. A Christmas Carol authored by Charles Dickens, a fiction story, and is about a man, Scrooge, who despises Christmas with all his heart whilst he lives in London. Furthermore, Scrooge regrets not appreciating people, not realizing that money is not everything, and is happy to live in all the stages of Christmas.

Scrooges attitude dramatically changes throughout the story. In the beginning of the story Scrooge is just a self-centered, rude, and arrogant character. This is mainly because his life was always surrounded by negativity, therefore he felt as if he had to show the same emotion. ¨Darkness was cheap, and Scrooge liked it.¨ (Dickens Stave 1). This quote really shows how Scrooge felt he could only show one emotion because that melancholy attitude was easy to

The text explicitly states Scrooge, a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, clutching, covetous, old sinner has passed away. According to the text, he despises many things such as happiness, humor, and even Christmas. From the reading, I know that he is depressed all the time, consequently his mental state has led him to call other people stupid, dumb, and idiots. On page three, in the conversation with his nephew Fred, Scrooge insults his nephew about marrying and loving his wife. The text states, that he also “seized the ruler with such energy of action, that the singer fled in terror, leaving the keyhole to the frost and even more congenial frost.” From the reading I know that Scrooge isn’t a people person and is very down about life. Based on the text he doesn’t really like being around them. For example Scrooge didn’t donate any money to the poor, and blew off his nephew about spending Christmas with them. In the text it states that there is no wind as bare as Scrooge, this means he doesn't really care or doesn't have many feelings.

Stave 1-Greed The theme presented to the reader the most in stave 1 of A Christmas Carol is greed. Throughout the book the theme of greediness is presented and backed up by the many sections that point out how much Scrooge strives to get more money. One of these parts is when it is pointed out that Scrooge won’t spend money on anything valuable, so his most valuable possession is his knocker. Another piece of evidence is when he only gives his clerk one piece of coal, and no more. The final piece of proof I have is that he could not part with a single coin to help the poor, and needy. Those were the main parts of stave 1 that emphasize the theme of greed.

Christmas is the time of year where everyone seems to be happy no matter what is going on currently in the world around them. But not for Ebenezer Scrooge. Everyone makes mistakes, but some that Scrooge had made, made a big impact on his life. Because of his lack to spread kindness and charity, Scrooge’s consequences were three lovely visits from the Spirit of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come that made Scrooge reflect on his previous decisions so he can have an even greater future. When Scrooge’s partner, Marley, passes away, he lives an even more greedy and selfish life, finding another reason to strongly hate Christmas. Thus one part of why his poor action will provide a future consequence. Secondly, since Scrooge had been so selfish to everyone, including the whole town of London, it is pretty certain that all of London dislikes Scrooge. Although the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come shows Scrooge that if he does indeed stay selfish, he most certainly will not be missed when he passes away. Lastly, his mistake in life was from his past when he decides to worry and obsess over making money and being successful rather than making sure he and his fiance’s future was more secure rather than secure finances. A Christmas Carol displays actions and consequences depend on one's own actions and decisions whether good or bad.

Scrooge lost his companionship with other humans. Through all of the struggles that these people are faced with on a day to day biases, at the end of the day, they have each other. Companionship helps these people cope with the pain of everyday life and its struggles. The miners, lighthouse keepers, sailors, and to an end, a great percentage of the population, understand that Christmas is a time for joy, happiness, and love. Christmas is a time in which people come together despite their own personal problems to bring happiness and joy to each other through companionship. With all of Scrooges wealth and security, he has lost all companionship with others; furthermore, losing a part of his humanity. At the beginning of “A Christmas Carol”, Scrooges
