Final Thoughts

We have finished reading A Christmas Carol. In the last stave we got to see how Scrooge fulfilled his promise to the spirit of Christmas yet to come. Right when Scrooge wakes you he yells out merry Christmas to everyone and dances around because he is filled with so much joy. Scrooge does other things like give the Cratchit's a large turkey for Christmas and he gives Bob a rase. Scrooge also gives a large amount of money to make up for all of the times he should of given money and goes to Fred’s party so he can have a better relationship with him. The main thing that Scrooge does is saving Tiny Tim.

Scrooge does this by paying for medical bill and acting as a second father for Tiny Tim. Now that we are done with the book overall I think this is one of the first books that I have liked the movie or play more than the book. I have seen the movie of this book many times almost every Christmas. Although the movies show the same thing as the book I felt like I could understand the movie better than the book. I found myself getting easily bored while reading the book because I already knew what would happen.

Also without prior background knowledge and understanding the vernacular it was hard to understand. In the movies or plays you can just see what Dickens was trying to say. I still liked the book and I’m glad I read it because it gave me a new way to look at this story. Now I when I go back to watch the movie version of this book I will have a better understanding of the plot. I can also compare it to the movie.
