Ebenezer Scrooge

Christmas Carol, the one element I would include in my flag design would be a path leading two directions. In the story, Scrooge is warned by Marley’s Ghost during a sudden visit about what is to come if he continues to be a miser. On page 30, Marley’s Ghost says,”Without [the three spirit’s] visits...you cannot hope to shun the path I tread“(Dickens). Marley is literally saying that if Scrooge does not hearken to the Spirits and what…

Christmas Carol," Mr. Scrooge was visited by different ghosts from the past, present, and future to help him realize that he is not who he should be.

There are many pieces of evidence that Scrooge is changing in Stave Three of A Christmas Carol. First there is the timidness when the Ghost of Christmas Present comes and is in the room in Scrooge's house. The first ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Past, Scrooge greeted in a foul manner and refusing to go with her.

Scrooge was really changing throughout the novel. Dickens shows that Scrooge shows redemption throughout his life in the book. You can change at anytime it's never too late. Scrooge would have never thought he would change his ways. At the beginning Scrooge believes that his business was to always be mean and never change his ways.

the themes of greed and poverty because of the status of England and how it affected his early life. (Bio).

Completing this process and giving realistic qualities to character allowed him to portray his message visually to the readers. Charles Dickens was born on…
