A Christmas Carol (long review)

MARLEY was dead. There is no doubt about that. The clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner signed the register at his funeral. Scrooge signed it. Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.

Did Scrooge know he was dead? Of course he did. Scrooge and he were business partners for years. Scrooge was his only friend and his only mourner.

Scrooge was a cold, greedy, mean, old man! The cold within him froze his old face. It made his eyes red and his thin lips blue. And it spoke out in his unkind voice. A frost covered his head, his eyebrows, and his pointed chin. He iced his office, and he didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas.

Scrooge is a greedy and bad person. He is visited by the ghost of Marley, who died seven years ago, and three spirits.

When the spirits show him his death and what he doesn't want to see, he changes his mind.

This is the general story of the book.

In this story, the main character tries to change his mind and become a good person. I thought that part of the story was very good. I also wanted to look at the bad parts of myself and become a better person.

Also, this story has been made into a movie.

 The movie was played by famous actors. Please give it a watch.

Uncle Scrooge, who appears in the Disney movie Donald, was created from the character in this book.

～Literature circle～

This is the third time I've read this book in the literature circle. I think I was able to make a good presentation in the third time by using the points I learned from the first and second times. I summarized the whole thing in pictures to make the story easier to understand. I also put the necessary amount of text in the necessary places and explained the rest of the story orally. We also researched and presented other things that have been made into movies and even related things like Disney. I think this was the best of the three literature circles we did in all.
