The christmas carol is a famous christmas book made by Charles Dickens in 1843.

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…

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.

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.

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…

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.
