ACC Last Stave

     In the last stave, Scrooge wakes up and he promises to keep the Christmas Spirit all year long. Scrooge is happy as an angel and is happy that everything in his house is his. Scrooge will live in the Past, Present, and Future. Scrooge remembers where Jacob Marley entered his house and remembers where the Ghost of Christmas Present sat. Scrooge could remember the date, so he asks a boy what the date is and he says it is Christmas Day. Scrooge gives the boy money, so he could go get the prize turkey. Once the boy gets back, he gives the boy money and gets a cab to take the turkey to Bob's house. Scrooge gets dressed and he starts walking down the streets saying Merry Christmas and smiling at people. He sees the portly gentlemen again and donates a lot of money to the poor because Scrooge should have been giving money to the poor for years, so he is giving a large amount of money to make up for that. Scrooge goes to Fred's house and knocks on Fred's door. Scrooge goes to Fred's dinner and has a great time. The next day, Scrooge waits for Bob and is hoping he will be late. Bob is late and once Bob comes into work, Scrooge starts yelling at him, but after Scrooge does that, he raises Bob's salary. Bob thinks that Scrooge is insane because Scrooge wouldn't do something like this and Scrooge yelled at him before raising his salary. Scrooge says Merry Christmas to Bob and Bob is able to support his family. Scrooge becomes a second father to Tiny Tim and Tiny Tim is alive. Tiny Tim is older at the end of the stave and Scrooge and Tiny Tim have a good relationship.
       I liked this last stave and Scrooge is starting to overcome his avarice. He is will to donate to the poor and is willing to pay his employees more. He is making good relationships with his friends and family. Scrooge is much happier and is not miserable anymore. Scrooge is hanging out more with Fred and the Cratchits. Scrooge changed and he helped Tiny Tim. Scrooge can affect other people by the way he acts and by changing, he is making people feel happier. This book has taught me a lot of lessons and it is sad to see this book go. This book could help people many ways and teach them to be happy and not miserable.
