  3. Connections • Text-to-text- Not sure. • Text-to-self- Thinking about my past to make me think about what I am today • Text-to-world- Greed

  4. Themes • Greed- Scrooge is very greedy when it comes to his money • Self-worth- even though Tiny Tim and his family have very little worry they all seem to keep their heads up • Happiness- after Scrooge is visited by the ghosts he looks at life a different way and is happy

  5. Views • My view on, A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, hasn’t changed. I learned that people in old time England had apprenticeships, they were very proper, in Scrooge’s case, very greedy, cherish family time, and want to help out the poor.

  6. Compare and Contrast Happy Seen a ghost Never seen a ghost Been an appr- entice Scrooge Giving Marshall Never been an appr-entice Been in love Has a family No family

  7. WOW! That’s cool! • The money issues- it’s amazing to see the differences between a rich person and a poor person. The rich person is miserable and the poor person is happy. • The dialect- It amazes me the words and ways they say things You really think so?

  8. Conflict • Internal- Scrooge is fighting with his past present and future to see what’s wrong with him • External- Scrooge is fighting with the ghosts, Marley, the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future • If I was Scrooge I think I would’ve handled it just the way he did by finding out who I am and following the ghosts

  9. Rewind! And try again! Alternative Ending Five years later after Scrooge changed his act around, he passed away. People missed him, especially Tiny Tim. When Tiny Tim grew up, Scrooges will stated that his house was given to Tiny Tim. All of Scrooges money was distributed between his nephew and Tiny Tim. Tiny Tim used the money to get help with his leg and help his family out.
