The music insinuates that both Ebenezer Scrooge and Miss Furnivall have problems with giving compassion and valuing family. Scrooge prefers to remain alone and to horde his money, while Miss Furnivall fought with her sister, and did not value their connection as sisters. Music comes to symbolize these characters problems in several ways.
The first story I told was “The Two Old Women’s Bet”. It was really light hearted and fun. It really made me laugh and it showed me not to take life so seriously. The story helped me shed some light on my humorous side and also helped me step outside of my comfort zone.

She’s always had a really vibrant personality

This time, they ran to the Kaufmann's reinforced underground room which was right across the street. And a peculiar tone pursued them down the steps and filled the room.

get the sense of relief when they do something correct or nice one day. Although not everybody is nice or kind, the kindness in people may bring the kindness out in others. This can be illustrated with the story “A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings”.
