A Christmas Carol

Dickens didn’t get much of an education, he had to teach himself most of what he knew, which was enough to give him to a job as a “parliamentary reporter” at a newspaper. From there he worked his way up to writing books. The book I chose to read was called A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens. It was a book based on “The Christmas Spirit”. A Christmas Carol is a celebration of Christmas and the good it inspires. At Christmas time, people forget their problems, others being selfish, and worry simple on friendship, charity, and celebration. The main problem in the book was basically that Scrooge was too cheap, and wasn’t into Christmas. He had forgot what it really meant to celebrate Christmas, and the joy of it.

The protagonist of this book was, Ebenezer Scrooge; a cold, miserly creditor whose acts of “kindness” form most of the story of A Christmas Carol.

We see how two social groups acts with each other, and the way one person changes his views on others. I think Ebenezer Scrooge deserved to learn the way he did. Because of the way he was before, he had to learn the way he did. But the good thing was that he was able to realize that he was wrong, and he changed his attitude and feelings, not only on Christmas, but on others too. At the
