Scrooge's A Christmas Carol

In the book this scene doesn’t exist. In the book, Scrooge is just introduced to his third ghost. The book doesn’t read that Scrooge gets harassed by the ghost and many other frightening things. In the movie we hear people complaining about Scrooge, similar to what happened in the book, but right after their throwing of shade, in the movie, a phantom carriage appears being drawn by two ghost horses, while the Ghost of Christmas Future is in the carriage. That crazy scenario did NOT happen in the book whatsoever! Another event in the movie that did not happen in the book was that Scrooge magically shrunk and ended up in a pipe to hide from the ghostly horses. While still being miniature, he ran and ran throughout the town to escape the phantoms and ended up at a shop where a woman (his maid) was selling his bed curtains that she had stolen. This did happen in the book, however, Scrooge was not miniature. On page 67 of “A Christmas Carol,” it states, “Scrooge and the Phantom came into the presence of this man, just as a woman with a heavy bundle slunk into the shop.” Also, in the book there were three thieves selling Scrooge’s goods, but in the movie, there was only one. In the book, on page 67, it reads, “But she had scarcely entered, when another woman, similarly laden, came in too; and she was closely followed by a man in faded black…” With

Recently we a have been reading ‘A Christmas Carol’ which was written by Charles Dickens in 1843. The book is about a man named Ebenezer Scrooge who is cold hearted accountant in London who hates everyone, especially children. Scrooge hates poor people and refuses to give any money to help them. He gets visited by three ghosts who teach him to care about people and to not be so tight with his money. The story starts off with Scrooges deceased partner Jacob Marley appearing to him on Christmas Eve and warning him that if he does not change his ways when he dies he will spend the rest of eternity as a ghost roaming the Earth with tons of chains dragging him down. Marley also warns Scrooge of the three ghosts that would appear to him over the next three nights. The ghosts appear to him and show him his Christmas past, present and future which convinces him to become a nice and charitable person.

Marley tells Scrooge that he will be visited by 3 ghosts and to take heed of what happens. The first spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Past, who shows the past of Scrooge. In the past, Scrooge was a happy young man that he was very enjoy his Christmas Eve. He was also a carefree and in love. Scrooge had a younger sister who passed away early and his sister leaving a child Fred. Scrooge was very love his sister but he did not like her child. When his adult life, he met a girl and the girl became his wife, Mrs. Scrooge. However, money became his greatest desire. His wife left him because his wife felt Scrooge love money more than her. Scrooge felt the

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

As Scrooge and the Spirit pass through his childhood, Scrooge sees himself as a young boy again, as a result of these visions, he confesses to the Spirit that he should have given the kid that was caroling earlier in the evening a few extra coins. The Spirit then takes him to the time where Scrooge’s little sister goes to the boarding school and gets Scrooge after his father has redeemed himself of his angry ways. Scrooge’s sister, then ends up dying and he discovers his nephew who he never knew existed. Scrooge told the Spirit to remove him from this place and the Spirit said, “I told you these were shadows of things that have been. That they are what they are, do not blame me!”

No ghost and no sound. A bright light hits scrooge. He follows it to the next room and sees the ghost from Christmas present. He tells scrooge to touch his robe. They ended up in the city on Christmas morning. Then the spirit takes him to the home of Bob Crachit's house where he gets to see the family and how hard I is for them to live a poor life. There Christmas feast was merely anything for them to feast on with the little they had. The spirit informs scrooge that even though the family celebrates with contempt one of those chairs will be open next year. He takes him to many other houses in the community to see what Christmas is like to other families. He also shows him two starving children ignorance and want. The ghost takes scrooge back and yet again once more the clock strikes

Suddenly, the Ghost of Christmas Future appears and tries to teach him not to continue being a miser. Although Future doesn’t say a word, he changes Scrooge the most. The first thing Future shows him is three men talking about a certain man that died. “I thought he’d never die,” (712) stated one of the men. Next, Future shows Scrooge a group of poor thieves trading some of the valuable items they stole. Apparently, one of the thieves stole clothes right off of a dead man’s body. “They’d have wasted it, if it hadn’t been for me,” (715) said the thief. Then, Future took Scrooge to the Cratchit’s house where they learned Tiny Tim had died as well as some man everyone was talking about. Scrooge didn’t know who the dead man was. He’d simply assumed it was Marley; however, it turned out to be him. Future pointed right

It had a very strange description but it was the spirit of Scrooge’s Youth, which was the Ghost of Christmas Past. Scrooge then inquired as what made the ghost come to him? It was his welfare for which the ghost had come to Scrooge. He walked by his memory lane where he recognized everything. The ghost brought up various events that took place in the past and had a major impact on Scrooge. It was a completely different side of Scrooge which was innocence, gentle and tender side. He would wish Merry Christmas to the people as they parted away and knew all of them by their name. Scrooge was also neglected by his friends in school. He soon approached a huge mansion which was his house at a point of a time. When he entered on of the rooms it seemed melancholic and plain which also shows how lonely and neglected Scrooge was during his childhood. The ghost takes Scrooge on a depressing tour of more Christmases of the past--the boy in the schoolhouse grows older. At last, a little girl, Scrooge's sister Fan, runs into the room, and announces that she has come to take Ebenezer home. Their father is much kinder, she says. He has given his consent to Ebenezer's return. The young Scrooge, delighted to see his sister, embraces her joyfully. The aged Scrooge regretfully tells the ghost that Fan died many years ago and is the mother of his nephew

Three ghosts come and see Scrooge to change his thinking about Christmas. The past, present, and future ghosts come and visit him. (video 1984) The ghost of the past shows him things that happened in the past. The present ghost comes and shows Scrooge things that he did wrong in the present days.

Marley’s dead and his spirit has come to inform Scrooge there will be three ghosts that will come and visit him in the coming nights. According to the text, the Ghost of Christmas Past will be the first spirit to come talk to Scrooge. After visiting with the Ghost of Christmas Past, Scrooge is durably speechless to see that the spirit was soft and gentle. Meanwhile, they flew together to a place where there was an open country road, fields on both sides, the city vanished, from what Scrooge said, the darkness vanished with the city, it was cold and there was snow on the ground. In addition to the text, wherever the ghost took Scrooge, he said he was a boy there, the ghost said “Your lip is trembling. And what is upon your cheek?” The old sinner

In the story A Christmas Carol, there were three spirits that came to him at night. The First ghost, The Ghost of Christmas Past was portrayed as a man with long white hair. It’s face was without wrinkles and resembled Scrooge as a child and also a man. It wears white and holds holly in its hand. With Scrooge they visited where he grew up and old workplaces to show where his greed came from. The second ghost was the Ghost of Christmas Present. The Ghost of Christmas Present was tall and wears holly on his head. Dark brown hair curls cover his face with a green robe hanging on him. The ghost guides him through the streets of his town, showing him how happy the Christmas time is for people. Then the ghost took them to the Cratchit's house, the owner Bob Cratchit is an employee of Scrooge. The ghost mentions that there is going to be an empty crutch in the corner. This means that Tiny Tim’s life about to be gone. This is because of Scrooge’s greed to mankind. The last ghost was the quiet Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Scrooge was scared of this ghost because it did not talk. The ghost wore a black garment that covers it head and only shows his skeleton hands. This spirit shows that Tiny Tim dies in the future and also foreshadows Scrooge's death.

In a time in which the significance of Christmas gradually started to change, Charles Dickens, in accordance with these changes, wrote a Christmas tale: A Christmas Carol. The novella was published six days in advance of the Christmas celebrations of 1843; it was sold out three days later. Although a socially engaged narrative, Dickens’ work is not occupied with trivialities such as the introduction of Christmas cards; instead A Christmas Carol focuses on the transforming beliefs and values within society and endeavours to contribute to these changes.

The Third spirit arrives and this time he is very dreaded. The spirit can’t communicate using language so Scrooge has a very difficult time understanding him. Scrooge figured out he was the ghost of Christmas future. They travel forward and see two people talking about someone’s funeral, but don’t mention who it was for. The same men talk about the man that is dead accordingly as if it was Scrooge. They then go to an atrocious part of town and the ghost shows Scrooge, how he is similar to these bad people. They go back to the general topic and soon figure out the funeral was for Scrooge! The two men are going to sell all his belongings when they find the accurate price. One of those men is a guy named Joe and he is the undertaker, the person

In the next part of the story, the first ghost appears and goes by the name “ The Ghost Of Christmas Past” and the significance of this ghost is to show Scrooge
