  9. Do fiction stories really make a difference? A Christmas Carol - by Charles Dickens To help provide for his growing family, Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol over a period of three weeks in 1843.  Creating the characters of Ebenezer Scrooge, Jacob Marley, Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim, Dickens also made famous the descriptive word "Humbug!“ His tale of transformation is still popular during the holiday season and has often been produced for film.  This version, from 1984, features George C. Scott as Ebenezer and Frank Finlay as Jacob Marley.  In this scene, "Old Marley" (who was "dead as a door nail"), visits Scrooge to warn him about the way he is living his life.  Marley, now a ghost, shows Ebenezer how he will end up - if he doesn't make some important life changes. Because of his writings, which were read by Helen Keller's mother, Charles Dickens unwittingly had a profound influence on Keller's life.  His story about  Laura Bridgman (contained in American Notes) gave Helen's parents some hope that their child could also be helped.
