The theme of “A Christmas Carol” is be careful about how you act in your lifetime because it will affect how people feel abut you later on in life. The three passages that I have chosen to help me relate to the three sprits is STAVE II, STAVE III, STAVE IV.

Scrooge’s family brings him home from boarding school, but suddenly send him off to apprentice as an accountant. (S.2 P.53)…

How well do you know Ebenezer Scrooge? And what does business mean to you? Ebenezer Scrooge does not understand the true meaning of “business”. The novel A Christmas Carol is about a mean old greddy man that learns a big lesson. He believes that “business” means to make money and to be rich.

Since his sole partner in life, Bob Marley, has died Scrooge has gone into a recession of loving money more than anything. While in the office with Bob Cratchit we see how miserable and isolated Scrooge is because the fire is tiny and the room is very dark. The fire is a symbol of family…

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.
