So Far In Stave Two

 At the beginning of stave two, Scrooge had awaken from his sleep to see the clock's hands constantly move, it finally stopped at 12 a.m.. Scrooge was confused, because he had gone to sleep after 12 a.m., yet he had woken up at 12... Scrooge had remembered Marley tell him that the first ghost would visit him at 1 a.m., so he had waited until 1 had come. The ghost had come, it was the Ghost of Christmas Past. The ghost had told Scrooge it was Scrooge's past. The ghost had brought Scrooge to the past, going through his past. The ghost had shown Scrooge himself when he was small, he had been lonely when he was younger, Scrooge had no friends. The ghost had then shown Scrooge himself reading all alone, Ali Baba, and his old parrot. After Scrooge had regretted not giving something to a boy that had come to his house the other day who was singing a carol to him, instead he had shunned him and told him to stop/leave. Finally the ghost had showed Scrooge him a memory of him and his sister when they were younger. Scrooge had gotten emotional, because she is now dead, and he misses her. The ghost reminds Scrooge that she had a son before she had died, his name was Fred, Scrooge's nephew.
 Already we start to see a side we haven't seen from Scrooge. He starts to regret the things he had done, like the boy who had tried to sing him a carol, he later wished that he had given something to the boy, after the ghost had come. Scrooge is starting to change, which is very good. SCrooge also cries later on in stave two, when he had seen a memory of him and his sister. It's good that Scrooge is already changing for the good, because the sooner the better. He finally is realizing that he has not done good in his life and he needs to change his ways, the ghosts so far already have affected him for the better.
