My Sister Fan....

I am a mortal 

In Stave two, Scrooge gets his first visit from the first ghost that Marley told him of. The Ghost is a child like ghost, but also looks old. He has white hair and no wrinkles on his ghostly face. His arms are musicalar and has very delicate legs. however we learned that he has a beam of light projecting from his head to the sky, the light is like his light source. He covers the light with a cap, I guess to not blind Scrooge. Anyways The ghost calls himself "The ghost from christmas Past." The ghost takes Scrooge to an open country road, where we find out that's the place he grew up in. They entered a mansion and down the hall, they see a lonely Scrooge reading as a kid. Scrooge recognizes that he had no friends, all his friends were in books that he read. However, the ghost takes Scrooge to another christmas there we met Fan. Fan is Scrooge's little sister that he loves dearly and she loved him back lots more. She told him that he could come home for christmas because their Father is nicer. In the end we find out from Scrooge that Fan died young due to childbirth, she died having Scrooge's nephew Fred.

Scrooge has a good reason as to why he treats Fred terribly. Scrooge lost his dear sister, that he loved very much and who always worried about him. I couldn't imagine such tragedy happening to one of my family member, if something like that happened. Especially if she was the only one that actually cared about Scrooge. However, Fred is the creation of Fan's (and his father). She must have wanted him to survive rather than herself because of that Scrooge should love Fred. Scrooge should see that it's a good thing that Fred reminds him of Fan. Do you agree? Do you disagree? What do you think?
