Ebenezer Scrooge And The 'Ghost Of Christmas Present'

Alex DiVincentis Mr. St George Intro. To Lit and Comp. 9 1/4/16 The descriptions of the three ghosts of Christmas past, present, and yet to come all represent Scrooge’s life and the choices he makes in his life. These choices that he makes are represented by three main themes. These themes are to not let your past effect your present life, wealth does not lead to happiness, and that our futures may be unclear, but what we do can affect them.

Throughout A Christmas Carol, Ebenezer Scrooge changes a lot. A Christmas Carol shows you what happened in his life and what might happen. A Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens. He wrote it around the 1840s. The book mirrored Charles Dickens life. A Christmas Carol shows what life was like in England in the 1840s. How has Scrooge changed throughout A Christmas Carol? Ebenezer Scrooge is a mean and cold hearted guy. Jacob Marley is dead but he comes and visits Scrooge. He tells Scrooge that if he continues his ways he will end up with a terrible fate. Jacob shows Scrooge that he has chains. He tells Scrooge that the chains that he has will be nothing compared to what Scrooge may get. He tells Scrooge that if you continue this way

In the movie The Christmas Coral there was three ghost that visited Ebenezer Scrooge. There was a past,present,and a future ghost. They visited him on Christmas eve because he didn't like Christmas cause his friend died on Christmas eve. Now I have to describe to you what each ghost did and which one made him change his mind about Christmas.

The Ghost of Christmas Present Christmas has consumed itself. At its conception, it was a fine idea, and I imagine that at one point its execution worked very much as it was intended to. These days, however, its meaning has been perverted; its true purpose ignored and replaced with a purpose imagined by those who merely go through the motions, without actually knowing why they do so. Christmas was originally supposed to be a celebration of the birthday of Jesus Christ. Modern historians suggest that Christ was actually born sometime in April, but that is hardly the point; the point is that a day on which to celebrate his birth and life was needed, and so one was chosen.

Discuss the ways in which Charles Dickens presents the character of Ebenezer Scrooge as being central to the moral message of A Christmas Carol. In the text ‘A Christmas Carol’, the author Charles Dickens presents the character of Ebenezer Scrooge as central to the moral message in a number of different ways. To identify this, a number of different aspects within the text shall be looked at. These include the morals of the story and the affects of this.

There are many differences between the three ghosts that visit Scrooge. Between all the ghosts, there is one big difference between them.

To impact society, you must first have incentive. Society is “the aggregate of people living in a more or less ordered community”, according to the Oxford English dictionary. To change it, is to impact the people living in the society. There are many ways to make a change, but someone that inspired me to make one was the main protagonist in Christmas Carol. Ebenezer Scrooge was a greedy character Charles Dickens’, The Christmas Carol. With almost no friends whatsoever he still sees that there is no change bound to happen in his personality. Little does he know that this will all change in a matter of a few hours when he is visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. Scrooge impacted his fictional society by changing for the

Our first ghost is the ghost of Christmas past looked like an old man and a child.

In summation the Novella A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, Ebenezer Scrooge was an unhappy man who was given the chance to change. The ghost that prompted this the most was the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. The ghosts all showed us something different about Scrooge, but the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come was literally the final nail in the coffin of Scrooge’s humbuginess! In the end Scrooge was a changed man, who was more merry than could be. He never again question the spirit of

When Scrooge dies, no one comes for him or cares that he has died, “He lay, in the dark empty house, with not a man, a woman, or a child, to say that he was kind to me in this or that, and for the memory of one kind word I will be kind to him.” Scrooge only ever did things for his own benefit, and this is reflected by how little people care for him after he is gone. However, Scrooge is not necessarily doomed to die alone and miserable. When Scrooge declares that he will live in the past present and future, the Ghost of Christmas Future disintegrates, “Holding up his hands in a last prayer to have his fate aye reversed, he saw an alteration in the Phantom 's hood and dress. It shrunk, collapsed, and dwindled down into a bedpost.” As Scrooge radically accepts his past, the Ghost of Christmas Future no longer depicts the future Scrooge is destined to have. The Ghost has shown Scrooge a possible future: the future that will occur if Scrooge does not change his ways of greed. The future that the Ghost represents, one of misery and loneliness, no longer exists. For Scrooge to live the rest of his life in happiness, he has to radically accept his past, which he has repressed, and the present, which he has ignored. At the end of the book,Scrooge embraces the spirit of giving, and thus is able to alter his
