I also liked the part when the ghost of Christmas present showed the meaning of ignorance and want of the poor people that worked in workhouses and poor people. The past I also liked was of the ghost of Christmas future because it showed to him that if he do not change he would die, the same day that Mr. Scrooge hate that day and that if he did not helped his jobs assistant his child that was Tiny Tim would die because that family did not have the enough money to buy medicine to Tiny Tim. Tiny Tim had a problem with his leg. I did not like the part when Scrooge said to he two portly men that he would not give them donations to the poor people and instead of it he said that poor people would work in workhouses, go to prison and die.
And now I would describe each of the characters of A Christmas Carol movie… Ebenezer Scrooge was a man that did not care about others. One day two portly men came into his office and asked him if he could donate some money for poor people… well he did not accept and he said that most of that poor people should die or go to prison and work in some workhouses. He in the movie was a very, very bad man and three ghosts of Christmas showed him to be nice with people, friends, family etc…
Finally he changed and have a lot of fun with his family that they invited him for a dinner, with poor people and with his nephew Bob Cratchit.

And in that dinner there would go the family. When Scrooge heard that he said, that Christmas as a humbug and that day would not exist. Fred insisted him but nothing made Scrooges decision changed. Finally Fred leave the office and go to his dinner very happy. Then he with his friends family and all of them started to insult Scrooge because he did not came to the dinner and when the ghost of Christmas present showed how was the dinner of Fred’s family started insulting him and after that he decided to change.
The ghost of Christmas past was in one room in Scrooges house when he found him. The ghost was laughing a lot because all the presents the people was receiving or having fun they would made him laugh. Them=n he showed to Scrooge the dinner of his cousin Fred. In that dinner Fred’s family started to indult Scrooge and he become very sad and after that he was starting to change. And being a good person with their friends, poor people and his old friends. The ghost of Christmas past showed the want and ignorance with poor people and showed or talked him to
Christmas is times for poorer and richer enjoy together except for one man that being ignore and mean to other people and his family. He’s name Scrooge. He is such a mean person that always cares about money than any other things. On Christmas day his friend Jacob came to visit him as a ghost and told scrooge that there will 3 more ghosts came to visit him. First, the past ghost brought him to his past time that full of joy.
This shows that ever since Scrooge had met the Ghost of Christmas Present, his perspective on poor people had changed. When Present was leaving, he showed Scrooge two dolls, Ignorance and Want, which symbolize Scrooge's sins, and how he is fixing them slowly by slowly. Finally, the First Woman said “If he wanted to keep ’em after he was dead, the wicked old screw, why wasn’t he natural in his lifetime? If he had been, he’d have had somebody to look after him when he was struck with Death, instead of lying gasping out his last there, alone by himself.” The Ghost had revealed the scenes of the death of a disliked character whose funeral was not attended by his loved ones but just local businessmen who are eager to possess his properties.
In a alarming voice, The ghost announces himself as the Ghost of Christmas named Present. He tells Scrooge that he has more than 1800 brother. The ghost tells Scrooge to fell his robe. Upon doing this, the ghost and the room disappears instantly and Scrooge finds himself alongside the spirit in the midst of the bustling city on Christmas morning. He happily take pleasure in the amazing sights and smells roaming through the shop doors.
Fred dropped by to say Merry Christmas to him and he talked to him trying to change him. Scrooge always agreed
