The christmas carol is a famous christmas book made by Charles Dickens in 1843. The book is about an old man named ebenezer scrooge who hates christmas and is sent into the past, present, and future by three spirits to convince him to stop. There are tons of different versions of this story, I´m going to compare the ending of three of them, the original, the animated movie version, and the marvel comic. First lets compare how all three of them are similar. The ending of all three versions is…

In “The Beggar”, the characters display a lot of personality, especially Lushkoff the beggar. He is pleading from lawyer Skvortsoff to give him some charity, for he has not one kopeck to support himself. “Help me kindly,” he begs, “ I am ashamed to ask, but- I am obliged to by circumstances” (page 151). He is a man of kindness and feels ashamed to ask for money, but he has no other choice. However, Skvortsoff recognized this man from before, and found him to be lying about his past. The beggar…

The tenants took the money and obliged; when he told his mother, she…

accurately? While both the play and the film present Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol accurately, there are differences and similarities in the presentation of the characters, setting, and tone. The play and the film both introduce the characters Jacob Marley, Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, and Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Although both the play and film contain the same characters, I personally think the play does a better job of describing each individual character. I can…

In the play and movie of A Christmas Carol neither one seems to follow up with the other the whole time. Mr. Scrooge seemed to do things a little differently in each one. Some scenes and parts are exactly the same and some aren’t. A Christmas Carol is based on an old, grumpy man named Ebenezer Scrooge. The movie and play represent Mr. Scrooge’s past, present, and future. In the play, Ebenezer is visited by his old, dead business partner, Marley. He warns him about his attitude towards…

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. This time the author uses words such as timidly and reverently to describe Scrooge’s manner of walking and talking to the ghost. This shows that Scrooge’s attitude toward the ghosts has…

I'm going to be tell you some things in the Christmas CaroI. The first thing that I'm going to tell you is how this old, overplayed story could have any deeper meaning for society and people today. Then, I'm going to use examples of the settings and society now. Then I'm going to make a statement about our culture that matches with the reality of Scrooge's self and his society. That is what I'm going to talk about in the Christmas Carol. There are many ways how this story could have a…

He was a "tight-fisted" man who held money as close to his heart as Scrooge does. When Marley appears to Scrooge, Dickens describes the chain which Marley has "clasped around his middle". It is a chain made of "cash-boxes, keys, padlocks, ledgers, deeds and heavy purses wrought in steel". These symbolise Marley's selfish, covetous and obsessive personality. It is a representation of a message that Scrooge will only receive through the things he values most; money and…

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is no doubt one of the most popular books of this generation. Some even argue that it has become more popular than the Harry Potter book series. Although this could be debated what is definitely not up for debate is that Twilight has left a mark on this world. One of the most significant outcomes of Twilight is the extensive amount of fanfiction that has been created around the fictional town of Forks,Washington and its residents specifically Edward Cullen and…
