A Christmas Carol

Book Review   by:hotaruimai26     Original Author: Charles Dickens
ª
 
The story revolves on a greedy old man named Scrooge Ebenezer. One day, his employee, Bob Cratchit asks for only one night, just on Christmas Eve to have dinner with his family, but Scrooge fires him instead. On the same night, he sees his dead partner in business, Marley. He warns Scrooge to stop his greed and change his ways or three Christmas ghosts will appear to him. He condemns doing it so the first ghost appears to him. The first ghost, who is named Christmas Ghost of Past, takes Scrooge to his past Christmas then the ghost convinces him to change his ways but he condemns doing it. The second ghost, named the Christmas Ghost of Present, shows what just happened to him the same day. The ghost convinces him but still, Scrooge doesn’t want to stop his way of living, until the last ghost comes before him. The third ghost or the Christmas Ghost of Yet to Come shows his death without anyone else weeping and gets lonely and the ghost also shows the death of Tiny Tim. He begins to plead for another chance, until he wakes up. From then on, Scrooge changes from being a voracious man to a charitable person. He goes outside his house and starts greeting the street people, as well as hiring back Bob and increasing his salary, such good deeds he was not doing before in his life.
