Scrooge is waiting for the second ghost to come and the clock struck one, but the ghost didn't come. Scrooge heard a voice after awhile and his room was transformed. The room looked like a perfect groove with all the decorations in it. There was a lot of food and drinks in the room. Scrooge met the Ghost of Christmas Present. The Spirit wore a dark green robe with white fur, is barefoot, and is wearing a wreath with icicles on his head. Scrooge told the spirit to take him where the spirit wanted to take him. The spirit took Scrooge to the city streets. People were getting snow off their roofs. The house and the windows looked black and the sky looked gloomy, but the people were filled with joy exchanging snowballs. The stores were open and people could get food from there. There were also people going to church, wearing their best clothes. Scrooge promised the spirit to help the poor. The spirit then took Scrooge to Bob's house. There were two little children screaming and playing. Martha came to the Cratchit's house for Christmas. Bob and Tiny Tim came a little bit later. Tiny Tim is a cripple and is supported by an iron frame. Their family prepared everything and once everything was prepared, Bob proposed a merry Christmas to everyone. Scrooge asks if Tiny Tim will die and the spirit said he will die if Scrooge doesn't do anything. Bob gives Scrooge the Founder of the Feast and they all drink to him. They spirit and Scrooge stay for a little bit more, then leave.
This scene shows that Scrooge is starting to care to help people. Scrooge wants to help Tiny Tim and wants to help the Cratchits. Scrooge realizes that he needs to pay Bob more to save Tiny Tim and to help the rest of his family, so they have a good life. If Scrooge helps Bob, he will help Bob and his family's problems. Scrooge is starting to change and starting to become a good person, but he needs one more spirit to fully change. Scrooge is learning his lesson and is close to completely changing. Scrooge starts to realize that people should instead live and not die. He is starting to realize that lives matter.
I think that you did a good good talking about the main points of the reading. Such as Scrooge meeting the ghost, seeing Bob's family and how they live and l hearing that Tiny Tim will die if Scrooge doesn't change his ways.When Scrooge hears that Tim will die by next Christmas if he doesn't change I don't think that Scrooge just sat there and did nothing. I agree with you that Scrooge is starting to change. I think this is shown in the scenes. Scrooge begs for the spirit to tell him that the boy will live but that will not happen.
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job thuroughly summarizing what happened in what we read. You also did a good job explaining what the ghost looked like and how he appeared and what was happening in the town. I like how you expressed your viwes on this stave. I also think thatScrooge is learnng his lesson and he is starting to realize that lives matter.
