A Christmas Carol


By: Charles Dickens

 

  • Scroodge is very greedy, doesnt even allow Cratchit (the clerk) to use more coal. And he doesnt care about Christmas or about the others.
  • On Christmas Eve 3 ghosts haunt him. Past, present n future.
  • They show him cheerful n sad moments in his own life n that of others around him, and he realizes that he has to change.
  • Interestingly, the ghost he fears the most is the one of the Future, even though by that time he already knew he had to change.
  • Very recomendable book especially near Christmas time.
  • Higjlights importance of friendships being more important than anything else even if poverty or similar misfortunes had to be suffered.
  • At one point, maybe with the ghost of Christmas present, Dickens says Christmas is a good time to play like kids, especially in view of its divine founder.
