Bob Marley's A Christmas Carol

Scrooge sees Tiny Tim, Bob's crippled, small child, he sees that Bob loves Tiny Tim, and he dreads he might be taken away from him. Scrooge asks the spirit if Tiny Tim will live, but the spirit tells him if the future remains unaffected the child will die. Scrooge begs that Tiny Tim be spared, but the ghost replies, "If he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population" (Dickens Line 834-835). Scrooge recognized what the spirit had told him, Scrooge had told the charity men this when they told him people would rather die than go to the workhouses or prisons. Scrooge has remorse about saying this now as he watched Tiny Tim suffer in his condition. He wants to help him, and now that he sees an example of how the surplus population lives he is shameful for the way he

From Stave, 3 what I learned is that Scrooge is becoming a big softie or, he's getting nicer, one of those. But also that when he sees Tiny Tim all weak and sick that he actually cares for them, he then asks the Spirit, if Tiny Tim will survive, the Spirit just says “I see a vacant seat, in the poor chimney-corner and a crutch without an owner, carefully preserved. If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future, the child will die.” Scrooge then hangs his head (Not actually hang, he more like bows his head) in grief after the Spirit recites what Scrooge had said before. Then Scrooge and the ghost move on to another house, his nephew’s house to be exact, and they watch as Fred’s (His nephew) family and his wife’s family eat, drink, sing and

As the play moves from on, there is a further development in Scrooge’s character. After the visits from the three spirits of Christmas, Scrooge realizes the error of his ways and his character becomes a total flip of what he was at the beginning of the play. In the after math of his crazy night, Scrooge wakes up and the first boy to whom he speaks receives his first act of kindness. This first random act of kindness leads him to giving money to a blind woman, buying the prize turkey for the Cratchit family and visiting his nephew’s home for Christmas

When the Cratchits were eating the meal, Scrooge asked if Tiny Tim would live and when the ghost says no, he is discouraged. As the text states, “If he be like to die, he better do it, and decrease the population.” (pg. 71) When Scrooge heard what the ghost said he was The vibe wasn’t was positive after stating his name, so that gives Scrooge reason to change. When Scrooge sees Tiny Tim, he begins to worry. He’s worried the boy will die. When he asks the ghost if the boy will live, and the ghost say not if something is changed, then Scrooge becomes

But, as I know your promise is to do me good, and as I hope to live to be another man from what I was, I am prepared to bear you company, and do it with a thankful heart” (Dickens, 51). If it was not for the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come, Scrooge would not have turned out to be the kindest man and Tiny Tim would have probably not lived. Now Scrooge is transformed into a new man and will never be a hateful, rude, cold-hearted, and covetous person ever

The spirit convey scrooge around the city exhibiting him scenes of festivity. The spirit withal shares a vision of minuscule Tim's crutch. Scrooge then ask would Tim die. The ghost first states that "If theses shadows remain unaltered by the future , the child would die. The ghost of Christmas present reveals that scrooge would only subsist on Earth for a single year's Christmas holiday as the present only takes place on the one day of the year.

How does Tiny Tim Affect Scrooge? The Christmas Carol is a story, which can be called a novella. Charles Dickens wrote this in 1843 and it soon became a very famous book. The character that I will be looking at who changes in this novel is Scrooge. Ebenezer Scrooge is known as a very selfish, stingy and cruel man. Scrooge runs his own business that provides him with lots of wealth but it's his heart that never shows any goodness. His former business partner was Jacob Marley who died seven years ago in the novella. So to start of Scrooge's reclamation from a misanthropist to a philanthropist he meets his former business partner Jacob Marley's spirit. Marley was a character who had a heart just like Scrooge, which is probably why they liked working together, and they were very successful. However, this time Marley appears as a very different character his spirit has a frightening appearance. He tries to help Scrooge by leading him in the right direction to redemption.

There is lightning and thunder and the Ghost of Christmas Present appears to Scrooge. Scrooge pleads to the Ghost of Christmas “Tonight, if you have aught to teach me, let me profit by it.”(page 267 paragraph 24) Present commanded Scrooge to touch his robe and they go through scenes of this years Christmas. In scene three, Present shows Ebenezer the home of his employee, Bob Cratchit. He thought Cratchit was being foolish for having such a large family for only getting 15 shillings a week. Scrooge sees the condition Bob’s son, Tiny Tim is in. Tiny Tim walks on a crutch and has braces on his legs. Scrooge asks the Spirit “Spirit, tell me if Tiny Tim will live.”(page 271 paragraph 55) The Present explained that if Scrooge does not alter the future, the child will die. Scrooge pleads that the child will be

The spirit, a Phantom, leads Scrooge down city streets and into a store, and into a dark bedroom, and everything that is spoken is about the death of a man. Scrooge wonders who that man is that died but the Phantom does not speak. The Phantom then takes Scrooge to Bob Cratchit’s house where Bob and his family grieve the death of Tiny Tim. The spirit then takes Scrooge to a churchyard and points to a headstone on one of the graves in the yard. Scrooge, frightenedly ask the Phantom, “Men's courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead," said Scrooge.

Tiny Tim’s role is to resemble the effect of the actions scrooge takes part in. If Scrooge would have kept the same negative attitude towards Bob Cricket, then as the spirit of the future showed, tiny Tim would die. However if Scrooge were to change his actions towards Tim’s father and help him and his family in a positive way he would survive. Scrooge seems to care about Tim because after being reminded of his own childhood and the way he was treated while also realizing how he affects Tim and his family, he travels with the ghost of christmas present and starts to feel the need to know if tiny Tim will be in the future. He feels sympathy towards tiny Tim because while suffering a serious medical condition he still stays a kind and young compassionate boy. Scrooge starts to have an

He then realizes how important they are to one other and how strong their connections to eachother are, and how devasting it would be if Tiny Tim would become sicker or even die. After visting the Cratchits he then, travls to Freds. Where his friends gather to celebrate the holidays through, eating, drinking, listing to music, andplaying games. Scrooge then starts to enjoy the celebration. When this type of music sounded through his head, all the living things that ghost told him ran through his head. He softened more and more; and thought that if he could have listened to it often, years ago, he might have cultivated the kindnesses of life for his own happiness with his own hands. This shows that, Sccrooge hasbegun to relax and enjoy the merriment, and that he is even considering how his life might be different had he cultivated kindness instead of focusing on making money. Through Scrooge's change at heart this shows that people should focus , more on impacting eachothers lives , and having a meaningful relationships with others, becasue is brings more happiness, then wealth and

The ghost of Christmas past visits him first and shows him parts of his life, and his transition from a hopeful boy to a greedy man. The next spirit is the Ghost of Christmas Present, he shows him Christmas joy, and then the Cratchit’s. They have a crippled young boy, tiny tim who the ghost of Christmas past informs scrooge will die unless the future is changed. After this he is visited by the ghost of Christmas yet to come, he shows scrooge people talking about someones death, yet no one is pained by it. Scrooge is told that tiny tim is dead, and he also learns that hisself is also

Scrooge lives in a gloomy suite of rooms, which is so old and dreary that Scrooge is the only one who lives there. This is where Scrooge encountered Marley, on Christmas Eve seven years to the date when he passed away. Marley firsts appears on the door where the knocker sits, “but looked at scrooge as Marley used to look: with ghostly spectacles turned up upon is ghostly forehead. Scrooge is not an easily frightened man, but from the sight of the ghostly face, he becomes slightly unnerved, and double looks himself in as an attempt to dismiss the ghostly face. “I won’t believe it,” once again is presented with a ghostly figure, “ I know him!

A chance of hoping my procuring.When the three

Just so we know before the story starts the author clearly states that Marley dead, dead, dead, dead. This is about Scrooge, who is a phenomenally sorrowful, dismal, person that is extremely oblivious to multiple people in cruel, bitter ways. He absolutely despises all objects and feelings that include happiness and generosity, especially Christmas, accordingly the text states that people try to serenade others with Christmas carols, but he made them leave. Two gentlemen from a local charity visited Scrooge at his office asking him for a donation to help the poverty-stricken, and he responded to their request with these words, “Aren’t there prisons and union workhouses they can just live in?” Then, his perished business partner Marley, who is now a ghost shows up. Putting forth great effort, Scrooge attempted to forget his deceased partner of many years, Jacob Marley. During his visit, the Ghost of Jacob Marley tried endlessly to convince Scrooge to change his ways. To do this he will have three ghosts haunt him, nevertheless, they will show him the error of his way at night, one spirit per night, for three nights. The text states though that he prefers inexpensive necessities like darkness instead of light. This proves he is probably filthy, dull, and his clothes are likely to be shaggy and torn. He definitely is not a person anyone wants to meet, that’s for sure! Scrooge’s intrusive catchphrase is “ Bah Humbug!” so, obviously he says that to a decent amount of people.
