Based on what I read, Scrooge sounds like a old grumpy, greedy, mean man. The text states, that he grumpy and very hard to handle. Also according to the text, he doesn't really care about a lot of stuff like Christmas cause he does not get the point of Christmas. On page 1 shows how how was mean, cause a guy shows up asking for any donations for the poor, but Scrooge tells them to go stuff it, and argues that anyone who is poor can either go to jail , go to the workhouse cause he does not believe in the poor. Until three ghosts are coming cause Marley (one of Scrooge's business partners and friends cause she was a lonely fellow) comes in an reveals a couple things, “Ghosts of terrible people have to endlessly work to make the world a better place”. When Marley and Scrooge meet the freaks out , but stills manages to smart-mouth the ghost horror for a while. When the ghosts leaves Scrooge tries to shake the whole experience off, finds that he can’t, and just instead just goes to sleep. On page 4 it states that the first ghost is a ghost of the Christmas of the past. Then Scrooge and the ghost ( I don't know the ghostly name) went for a walk and, after a while Scrooge just starts to talk about the past and his depressing childhood and starts to cry. According to the text they stopped for a Christmas-vacation-spent-at-school days. The text explicitly states, that his sister is dead now, but that Scrooge nephew is her son. Then when he really telling us anything that

To start, the result of Scrooge being visited by the ghost of Christmas past had made him become loving. In scene 5, the ghost took him to his past childhood where he got to visit Fan, a loved one of his, the sister. This memory was important because he had been filled with so much anger and sadness and getting to see his sister Fan again made him feel a bit loving and joyful. “How I loved dear Fan.” Scrooge has once said. This changed Scrooge to be nicer to the ghost and nicer to all the other ghost yet to come, because he knew they would take him to see something or someone he misses or loves so he didn’t give the ghosts attitude. After being visit by Christmas past he became loving.
