    A Christmas Carol Analysis I have loved A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens since I was little so I was very excited to see how Michael Daehn brought this iconic story to life. In his version, I believe that Daehn wanted to convey the heart of this story. To share the message of hope and selflessness and redemption and perhaps to inspire and enlighten the audience. By choosing to use a version of this play that incorporates music he not only brought this story to life but brought the audience…

    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.

    Marley and Scrooge - the firm, known as Scrooge and Marley - although the sign hasn't changed since Marley’s death, the one thing that had worsened is the personality of Scrooge, the tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! On page two, I noticed the author states that Scrooge has an insufficient fire for keeping himself warm, but the clerk’s fire (Bob Cratchit) was so indubitably small that it looked like one coal, which…

    The first song I picked is “We shall overcome” from Pete Seeger. 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. The song became an anthem for the movement; because the melody is simple but contains lyrics that can speak to many, the song is a battle cry for any group that would face adversity. In fact, the song is still recorded today in support of diverse causes. Sunday Bloody Sunday…

    This past Sunday I attended the school play, which was a comedy based along the storylines of The Christmas Carol. I noticed many people from the community brought their children along for the comedy. For someone who doesn’t really care for plays, or Christmas it was somewhat interesting to go into the play having doubts beforehand and coming out of it with a different view. The exposition started off the same as The Christmas Carrol. Scrooge was being his typical self, hating everything about…
