Comparing Scrooge And Don 'T Forget The Christmas Spirit'

195 Words1 Page

They both provided the same message, show love to others, and don’t forget the Christmas spirit. I enjoyed both versions and their true message. There were some big differences in the story. The movie version explains Scrooge’s early life, unlike the play. It explains his childhood, and it tells why his father left him. It also explains why his fiancé left him and why she never returned. This explanation illustrates why Scrooge was so mean and hateful to others, and it allows the story to come to life. We all need to remember to love others, even when we are in an awful circumstance. The play had a little more symbolism than the movie did. In the play there was a little girl singing a song to her doll. The song would change every time she

    Another difference I noticed was that in the film he did not count the seconds as they went by like he did in the book. Also I found that Martha did not hide in the book like she did in the movie when Scrooge came home. In the script they did not go and see Ben, but did in the motion picture. In the book the ghost of christmas day did not show the two kids as he did in the footage. Then there was the part in the movie where Scrooge said “Spare me” but he did not say that in the writing.
