Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

Improved Essays
One of maybe the most popular Christmas songs ever was “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” The song “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” is based off of the remarkable book that went viral, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Since Rudolph is such a misfit, it ties to the author, Robert L. May, of being the shortest, tiniest boy in his class. This wonderful Christmas special sold Montgomery Ward, a retail company, 2.4 million copies of this misfit inspiring story. In this book it shows that Rudolph has an interesting feature, his red, glowing up nose, could be used for a Christmas miracle and not just be used for other reindeer making fun of his unique nose to make them feel better about themselves. Just months after Robert L. May wrote this holiday

    The most important character among three Christmas ghosts in A Christmas Carol Christmas Carol was an influent novel which was written by Charles Dickens throughout one and half century about a life of Ebenezer Scrooge as a negative, penny-pinching and distasteful man in London. No one had ever wished to work as an employee in his office after his best business partner Jacob Marley died except Bob Cratchit. Nothing in the world would scare Scrooge if it wasn’t about the gold coins. The man, who used to be a heartless person, had changed in just a few nights before Christmas Eve coming. At this point, we must be thankful to three Christmas Ghosts which demonstrated Scrooge life’s faults and gave him a chance to change his bad…

    Lastly, How the Grinch Stole Christmas shares the same theme as A Christmas Carol, that Christmas Cheer comes from within, not from material wealth.

    Almost always, communities will have an impact on an individual, whether it be that it changes their personality or the way that they survive.

    Grouchy Old Men Analysis

    Many children do not care for the company of elderly people, particularly older men. This could be for various reasons: they are not interesting, they smell funny, or they require too much assistance. I personally think the main reason is because children are led to believe that old men are grouchy; at least, that is the stereotype. Television and movies often shows how old men are grouchy, but sometimes they show how elderly men have the ability to overcome that stereotype. Carl Fredricksen from the movie…

He had to cross a full and fast-flowing river. “But the brawling creek he had swam a few hours before had risen, more than doubled its volume, and now rolled a swift and resistless river between him and Rattlesnake Hill” (14).…
