The last of the spirits came to visit Scrooge and it was described wearing a deep black garment with nothing really visible except for its hand. Scrooge was very scared of the ghost but he knew that the spirit was there to help him change into a better person. Scrooge told the ghost that it was only there to change him and to lead him on to what he needs to see. The ghosts only response was a little nod. Scrooge said that he was prepared to witness whatever is going to be shown at him. Scrooge knows that it will be very painful and scary but he knows that it is going to help him. Scrooge at this point of the book wants to change for sure and wants to be the person he once was. Scrooge was taken to a town in the future and it showed a group of wealthy businessmen who were talking about a man's death that died with a lot of money. They then said what happened to all of the money and where it went. They then proceed to say that the money could of been used for the good of others. When they talked about a man dying, I knew it was Scrooge because he died with a lot of money. The men said that Scrooge must of had a cheap funeral because no one was there to see it. No one came to Scrooge's funeral not even Fred because he was so greedy and mean. Scrooge was then taken to another scene with a woman named Mrs. Dilber and some men around her. They were proceeding to talk about Scrooge's death and how he died with a lot of money and how lonely he was.
In this stave I felt bad for Scrooge and didn't at the same time because it was his fault that he had a funeral alone. Scrooge died with no one around him not even his own family member Fred which was sad. Scrooge grew really mean and greedy because all of the events that happened in his live. The spirit was there to show Scrooge that he must change or else he would have a funeral with no one to support him and would die with a terrible life. The spirit is making Scrooge change for sure so that he doesn't suffer the same fate as his business partner Jacob Marley. The ghost is showing Scrooge fear which makes him want to change even more. It wraps up all of the spirits themes to make Scrooge change. Fear will make Scrooge take action and make him change.
Good job on your blog post. I do agree with you on when you wrote saying that at this point of the book now, Scrooge wants to change for sure and become a better man. In the past couple of stages, we have read little pieces of evidence that shows that Scrooge was wanting to change. But now, it is pretty much confirmed and 100% sure that Scrooge is going to and will change. I myself, also thought and knew that the dead man was Scrooge once I heard the businessmen talking about the dead man just by how the man was described. Once I heard that the dead man had a lot of money and the way the men were talking about him, my mind went to Scrooge. Lastly, I also agree with you on when you mentioned that you felt both bad for Scrooge and not bad for him at the same time as even though people may not care about him even after his death, it was still Scrooge's fault that all of this happened because of his mean and greedy attitude and personality. You make a good point about that.
