Scrooge And The Grinch

Scrooge is a rude, dismal man who hates mankind, and Christmas. During Christmastime there is a lot of charity and for being such a wealthy man that Scrooge is, he hates to give money to charity. He also thinks that Christmas is waste of time, and it could be used for

Scrooge just wants to live alone and make money. Money is the only thing he cares about. But, there is one day he hates the most and that day is Christmas day. There is a night in which the spirit of his dead best friend and work partner visits him. The Grinch is a creepy, angry, green creature who loves to hate.

Alone with his dog Max on Mount Crumpit, poor Grinch hated the entire idea of all the Christmas bliss. He had a repugnance for all that participated in such holiday because of the countless rejections he received from the Whos as a child. Many Whos including the Mayor of Whoville himself would ridicule him for lack of better appearance making the Grinch feel remorseful and unfit for the Whos’ standards. For this reason, he stayed far, far away from the Whos and anything pertaining to them. No one quite realized the reasonings for the Grinch’s cold-hearted tendencies and rather just came to the conclusion that his heart was just two sizes too small. So the Whos continued on with the life and the holidays without any thought of the grumpy

When I started learning to write my name we’d recieved a laminated name tag I wrote my name to many times to count till I perfected the writing.

One example of how the grinch has goodness in his heart is when he saved Cindy Loo. When the grinch stole all the presents he put them at the edge of the clif. Christmas morning cindy loo wanted to go see him cause no one else did. She went on the top of all the presents and they all started to fall off the clif while Cindy Loo was on top and the grinch stopped all the presents from falling.

Ebenezer Scrooge has gone through some really hard changes throughout the passage. The begging of the passage Scrooge was a really grumpy man who wasn't liked by many people from the town. On page 6 it quoted “ If they would rather die said Scrooge, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population” this statement showed how Scrooge really didn't have a heart to care for others. Everyone in town was afraid of him because he was just really cold hearted that when someone would say Hi to him he would just walk by and ignore that person.

The meaning Dr. Seuss implied was focused on the Grinch's materialism. As mentioned by you, the Grinch's "moralistic superego" was the reason for correcting the Grinch's actions (Wong). However, I propose the Grinch's hatred spanned from his focus on materialism, which ultimately distracted him from the true meaning of Christmas.

People were talking about the dead man. Mean old Scrooge,they called him saying no one cared that he had died one even saying they would only go to the funeral if lunch was provided. Little did Scrooge know the dead man they were talking about was him. The reason they were talking about him is because he was mean to them.

Twas the night before Christmas, two creatures on trial, one who is cheap, and the other who is vile. The Grinch from Dr. Seuss’s, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol are head to head against each other to be the meanest this Christmas. The Grinch is a putrid green monster who lives up in a deep, dark cave, hating all cheer. Scrooge is a miser who hates all human life and never buys anything that’s not cheap. The Grinch is meaner because he goes down to Whoville, rips everything with holiday cheer away from the poor Whos, and doesn’t even care, he just smiles with hatred to Christmas. He does all this just for the fun of it.

A Christmas Carol is about a man who is very greedy but, throughout the story he changes and i'm going to tell you how. In Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol we can find a good example of how a person can change. Scrooge is full of hate and very cruel towards others, he doesn't have any respect for others around him.

Scrooge is a symbol of the Victorian aristocracy who viewed the poor as a scourge upon the earth and thought the world would better if they died, as Scrooge alludes to in the Carol

Scrooge is a very angry, rude, unfriendly character. Scrooge’s cruel actions to most others are unkind, especially when it’s about Christmas. The bitterness drive in Scrooge against Christmas is very strong. Scrooge also hates things such as love, happiness, generosity, and regards them as irrational until such time that a rightful trio of ghosts came to set him right. Charles Dickens paints him as an old businessman, with a ring of frosty white hair on his head, a pointed nose, red eyes, thin eyebrows, and a wiry chin. He’s so cold inside, it makes his lips blue, the tip of his nose strawberry red. The book describes him as hard and sharp as flint, self-contained, and solitary like an oyster. He is also described as

The text explicitly states Scrooge, a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, clutching, covetous, old sinner has passed away. According to the text, he despises many things such as happiness, humor, and even Christmas. From the reading, I know that he is depressed all the time, consequently his mental state has led him to call other people stupid, dumb, and idiots. On page three, in the conversation with his nephew Fred, Scrooge insults his nephew about marrying and loving his wife. The text states, that he also “seized the ruler with such energy of action, that the singer fled in terror, leaving the keyhole to the frost and even more congenial frost.” From the reading I know that Scrooge isn’t a people person and is very down about life. Based on the text he doesn’t really like being around them. For example Scrooge didn’t donate any money to the poor, and blew off his nephew about spending Christmas with them. In the text it states that there is no wind as bare as Scrooge, this means he doesn't really care or doesn't have many feelings.

Sigmund Freud believed that personality consists of three parts: the id, which is motivated by desire and looks for immediate satisfaction; the ego, which deals with rational decisions; and the superego, which makes moral judgments (Acacio). This is psychoanalysis, which can be used to analyze The Grinch Who Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss. According to Freud, the mind consists of only the id when we grow up. As we age, we transform part of the id into the ego and superego (Acacio). In the case of the Grinch, he grew up in a situation where, due to his isolation, he had no one to guide, reprimand, or praise him. He had no influences in his life. In the poem, there is a line that states, “It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right.” (Seuss

Scrooge is an overly grumpy, greedy, curmudgeon, mild, insensitive, thoughtless, dolorous, elderly man who lives in a house all by himself. He has silver, gray hair, a pointed nose, and wiry chin. He acts like a harsh, miserable, lonely, gloomy, and depressed fellow. He also was very unfriendly to those young fellows who were trying to gather donations for the poor. When Scrooge was younger, he was actually very kind and generous to the people around him. Scrooge is very inconsiderate of others, and according to the text on page one, stave one it said that “ No wind blew was bitterer than he”, and he was a person who did not believe in the Christmas spirit until a trio of ghosts shows him his past, present, and future.
