A Christmas Carol

Seite 1

STAVE ONE

We meet Scrooge and learn that his personality is very negative towards Christmas and he is a "tight fisted" character who does not share his money.

As we meet scrooge in the workhouse we meet Bob Cratchit who is his Clark, The workhouse was described as a "dismal little cell" which means its very cold in there.

Fred then comes in and says merry Christmas and invites him for Christmas dinner. Scrooge always replies with "bah humbug". Fred then says " don't be angry uncle. merry Christmas!"

two gentlemen ask Scrooge for money for charity but he refuses to give them anything and he says "if they would rather die, they had better do it and decrease the surplus population". he also says "are there no prisons? are there no workhouses?"

Bob asks Scrooge for a day off, Which he gets off but needs to come in earlier the next day.

Scrooge goes home and Marley appears and starts dragging chains across the floor saying "I wear the chains I forged in life". Marley has come to warn Scrooge about the three ghosts coming to visit him.

STAVE TWO

The ghost of Christmas past appears - looks like - "like a child: yet not so like a child as like an old man"

The ghost first takes him to see himself at his school one Christmas. "Ali baba" scrooge has no real friends.

Then he sees another Christmas were his sister fan comes and says she's taking him home - "I have come to bring you home dear brother, home , home, home!" Scrooge replies with "you are quite a women, little fan".

the ghost takes him to see Fezziwig, he witnesses the Christmas eve celebration and notes how kind and good Fezziwig was as a boss which reflects on the kind of boss he is to Bob.

The spirit takes him to see the break up between them and she says "may you be happy in the life you have chosen" which means he chose money other his love life.https://cdn.goconqr.com/uploads/media/image/18275388/desktop_21a1fb45-0ea5-4159-8b8f-92fb8cfc1ea6.jpg

at this point you see a change in scrooge when he says "show me know more! conduct me home" - Scrooges is starting to feel emotion for what his past life was.

The ghost of Christmas present comes - "I am the ghost of Christmas present".

DESRCIPTION: "Its feet, observable beneath the ample folds of the garment, were also bare" / "Its head it wore no other covering that a holly wreath" / "Its dark brown curls" / "Its sparkling eyes" / "Its cheery voice".

The ghost has had "more than eighteen 100" means each Christmas you have each spirit.

"touch my robe" - Scrooge touched the spirits robe and of they went".

Scrooge is taken to Bob Cratchit house and sees that tiny Tim is ill (but he's not really)

Scrooge realises he can help tiny Tim if he gives Bob a salary raise.

Then he sees Fred with his family and they are saying bad things about Scrooge.
