Change for Tiny Tim

In Stave three, Scrooge woke up in the middle of the night, he wished not to be taken by surprised by the spirit that was coming next. Scrooge put on his slippers and walked to the door, as his hand touched the knob he heard a voice call his name. Scrooge was in his own room but the walls and ceilings were different. There were turkey, geese, game, poultry, brawn, etc on some kind of throne. The ghost told scrooge to come in, the ghost called himself "The Ghost of Christmas Present." He was wearing a dark green robe bordered with white fur, he chest was bare and so was his feet, he wore a holy wrench with icicles on his head, and had long brown curly hair. The spirit took Scrooge all around the city and showed him what was going on in shops and bakeries. Until the spirit took scrooge to Bob Cratchit's house. The Cratchit's were still setting up their christmas feast, when Bob and Tiny Tim came home Bob asked as to where Martha was. His wife said that she wouldn't be coming, until Martha came out of hiding from the closet and surprised Bob. The Cratchit's had for christmas goose and pudding for dessert, they didn't have lots because of how poor they are. The Cratchits were happy and grateful for whatever they got, they were enjoying themselves and with each other.

Bob Cratchit has a son his name is "Tiny Tim." Tiny Tim is crippled and has to use a little crutch and his limbs are supported by a iron frame. When Bob sat close with Tiny Tim, he held Tim's tiny hand as if he loved him and wished that Tiny Tim would never leave his side, and he was scared that he would be taken from him. Tiny Tim needs medical attention and supplies due to him being crippled however that would cost lots of money. The Cratchits are poor and wouldn't be able to afford it, especially if Bob is the only one that works and gets paid poorly by Scrooge. Scrooge ask the spirit if Tiny Tim would be be alive in the future. The spirit says that it depends if Scrooge would change or not, he sees a empty stool and a crutch with no owner. Scrooge doesn't want Tiny Tim to die, which proves that Scrooge is now going to most likely change his ways.

  1. Good job on your blog post, and I agree with many of the things that you wrote about in your blog. First of all, yes, even though the Cratchits may not have much and are in poverty, they still enjoy themselves, appreciate what they have, and they have something that Scrooge does not have, happiness. I think that you made a good point about this. Even though Scrooge may have more money and wealth than the Cratchits, the Cratchits have happiness and love which Scrooge does not have. I also agree with you on how you said that since Scrooge now realizes that Tiny Tim is going to die if he does not change his ways, Scrooge now feels that he should and is most likely going to change his attitude and the way he is acting. I can imagine the deep regret and sorrow Scrooge feels once realizing that someone as precious as Tiny Tim could have his life taken away from him just by how the way Scrooge acts towards others.

  2. Great job, you put lots of detail in your blog, lots of detail was put when you talked about the walls and the ceilings in the room. The blog was recaping mostly ever scene that happened, and when doing so a lot of detail was being put, good job. You expalined a lot about the Cratchits (which is good), and how Martha was in the closet hiding to suprise Bob.
