    He starts to comprehend his harsh behaviours and asks the spirit to 'conduct [him] where you will. I went forth last night on compulsion, and I learnt a lesson…let me profit by it.' The spirit, through Dickens, transports Scrooge to view an affectionate scene during Christmas with the Cratchits, where Tiny Tim's feeble self is seated next to his father. Scrooge feels miserable for the family even though they are 'happy [and] grateful' because it was Christmas time and are always 'pleased with one another and contented with the time'. Dickens, through the Spirit of Christmas Present, has also used caricatures to juxtapose with Scrooge's characterization by revealing that even though on the 'dismal reef of sunken rocks' and in isolation, the lonely men at the lighthouse still 'wished each other Merry Christmas…and struck up a sturdy song', which shows Scrooge that no matter where people are, Christmas is a time for…

    Dickens makes a positive aura around the Christmas feeling as of Stave 1, he makes the Stave full of energy as when Scrooge wakes up he is suddenly buzzing with energy and is as “light as a feather” and runs to the window where a young boy is shocked to know that Scrooge doesn’t know what day it is. Scrooge pays the boy to get the poultries and to buy the prize turkey which he delivers to Bob Cratchits as anonymous. The Stave is significant to the story as it shows that if someone as miserly as Scrooge can change it means that anyone can change which is what Dickens wants the adults as well as children who read the book so that they can change the way they behave to people. Dickens shows what the readers how it is like to be living in a poor family and is more or less basing the book on his own experience in his life. Scrooge evidently has become a happier person as Dickens shows by pretending to be angry with Bob Cratchit for being late…
