The Christmas Carol

The book The Christmas Carol is so far mostly about a guy named Scrooge. Scrooge is a mean old man, one mean thing he does is when people say Merry Christmas to him he says Bah Humbug back to them. His clerk has gotten Christmas day off, but just barley. After work Scrooge goes home to a fire, and he hears Marley's, his dead work partner, voice. Then suddenly out of nowhere he appears.

Marley is in a ghost form with a large chain. Each link represents one bad thing or sin he did in life. Marley takes Scrooge back in time. Scrooge sees his childhood. One part of it that really sticks in my mind is when he and Dick were in Mr. Fezziwig store. He asks them to close the curtains. That was the time when I started to see Scrooge get more sensitive. I mean he is usually all mean, but at this part he is very sensitive. He was so sensitive that right then he wanted to talk to his nephew. After his childhood he finds himself back in his bed. Safe and warn in his bed in his room.

As you can see he has learned one of his many to come lessons. He still has to meet the ghost of Christmas future and the ghost of Christmas present. In the last chapter that he will go to the clerks and apologize and go have Christmas dinner with his cheerful nephew.
