The song is originally not from him, but was associated with the American folk singer after using it as a song of protest during the Civil Right Movement.

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…

Spirits of all Three shall strive within me” (79). Because he has been granted the opportunity to see what his real priorities should be, Scrooge righteously transforms – this is the second significant alteration of Scrooge’s character.
