Christmas Carol

How does Charles Dickens convey the character of scrooge in the early pages of a Christmas Carol?

Charles Dickens, is best known for his host of distinctively cruel, repugnant characters.

His father was sent to a Debtors prison taken his son Charles with him maybe this is where some of the ideas for characters came from. After a few years, Dickens left the prison to work in a blacking factory.

Dickens started writing in prosperous Victorian England, where only the rich were cared for. He grew up seeing what the poor people had to experience and how they had to live in this world.

The technique the writer uses is of a physical appearance. Describing

Scrooge he gives the readers an idea of what he looks…show more content…

The author tells us directly what Scrooge is,

“ A tight-fisted hand at the grindstone. Scrooge! A squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner.”

This is a very good description by Dickens showing us how horrible

Scrooge is, Dickens doesn’t stop after a few lines he continues until the reader clearly gets the point.

To express Scrooge’s meanness Dickens uses harsh words saying that

“Scrooge liked to edge his way along the crowded paths of life, warning all human sympathy to keep its distance.”

This shows that the human race didn’t like Scrooge.

The author describes Scrooge by putting plenty of feelings into the lines. Dickens describes Scrooge with feeling in the line,

“Oh! But he was a tight fisted hand at the grindstone.”

This suggests that Scrooge makes people work very hard and doesn’t give them a lot in return.

Another way Dickens uses to dramatise Scrooge’s unpleasantness is by showing how the other characters react to him and him to them. If he is asked a question the answer is always No. He never reacts with kindness or politeness to other characters. Scrooge’s nephew is one of the few characters who makes an effort to be pleasant to him, but

Scrooge is always nasty to him. When Christmas is mentioned Scrooge becomes especially cross.

The time that Dickens has chosen, Christmas, is perfect for showing just how mean and nasty Scrooge is. Scrooge hates Christmas and he also hates to see lights.

Explanation:

your answer is c) experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

hmm, sadly there is no dialogue. there is no place in the story where he is talking to anyone. it's more of just describing what he eats and where he sleeps. you have to become anne frank, give details of where you are, what other folks look like, how the environment is. have a little bit of dialogue tell of what people are specifically saying. anne frank talked about her entire household including the people, the objects, the lighting, the food they ate, and even the smell in the air. there has to be more to your diary entries, the whole story in its current state is only about peter van daan, the food, the sounds, and where he sleeps. also he seems to be writing only once a year yet more than that happened from day to day. for a friend, i can you write it out, if you want.
