Fighting Ruben Wolfe A Christmas Carol

Just as Ebenezer Scrooge’s personality changes throughout A Christmas Carol, so too does his viewpoint on the true meaning of Christmas. Scrooge goes through a pretty traumatizing experience when the spirits show him many new revelations, so he is very happy to find himself alive and well on Christmas day by saying, “I will live in the past, the present, and the future!...the spirits of all three shall strive within me” (109). What Scrooge means by this is that he will always remember what the spirits have taught him and that he will make sure to create a positive outcome based on these events. Scrooge has definitely changed for the better and is going to make sure everyone understands this.

There are often lots of events that occur in our lives. These events can sometimes change ourselves, which are referred to as “turning points”. These turning points can affect anyone, in lots of different ways. I believe that turning points can cause people to change by a small act, good or bad. The topics that are going to be reviewed are what causes a significant change in someone’s life, how it might have a lasting effect, and what it tells the reader about someone who has undergone a meaningful change.

I like how he put order his thoughts starting from the fly away time, full down and ups and finally ride the smooth life without hurdles. This book of Total Money Makeover is following the pattern of normal life order the time when a normal person come out to live his/her own life,the challenges times of how people overcome the difficult and become successful ones. He encouraged people to stay away far way from debt by managing their money and resources . " There is not secret, and yes, This will be very hard" (Ramsey, 2007,p.4) This hard life of broke taught him very good lesson and make him to think very good.

The staves in Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol emphasize the passage of time and process of transformation. Stave Two takes Scoorge to Christmas past, in which Scrooge observes himself as a child and the people of his past. Dickens emphasizes in stave two that the state of a child matters very much of what the child will become. In the passage on page 1395 Scrooge revisits a Christmas party hosted by his former boss, Fezziweg. In this passage, strategies of characterization create a distinction between Fezziweg as a boss and his relationship with his employees in comparison with Scrooge as a boss and his relationship with Cratchit.

The obsession with instant gratification blinds us from our long-term potential (Michael Dooley). Young Scrooge started as a very hopeful, creative boy that had many negative experiences. These experiences set him on his cold hearted, lonely, christmas-hating path. As a young child, Scrooge was sent to a boarding school where he spent Christmas alone in the empty classrooms. This planted the first seed for his attitude later in life.

Ebenezer Scrooge’s character greatly varies from the beginning to the end of “A Christmas Carol”. When readers first meet the main character, Scrooge, they get the impression that he solely has a heart of coal. By the middle of the story, he was summoned by the spirits of Christmas past, present and future to show him how the rest of the towns’ people view him. Finally, in the end, Scrooge came to the realization that there needs to be a powerful change in his pitiful Christmas spirit creating a whole new man within him. Throughout the play, Ebenezer’s character flourished, but he began as a cruel, irascible old man.

At the beginning of A Christmas Carol,Scrooge is mean,selfish,and greedy. He is mean, because on pg.9, he never donates to the poor,and he always yells at little kids. Scrooge is also selfish because on pg.12, he never pays a day wages for no work. They say “it's a poor excuse for picking a man’s pocket every twenty-fifth of december!”Also,another word is he is greedy,on pg.17, says he is caustic and cold as ever and never gave anything to anyone. He said “what do you want with me.

Dehumanization had been apparent for many centuries through numerous civilizations. Egyptians used slaves to build the pyramids working days at a tie under the blistering sun. In ancient Greece, the upper classes used slaves as entertainment, fighting exotic beasts to the death. These cultures all used slaves and kept them under control by dehumanization. Although terrible, the United States followed in the footsteps of these other powerful civilizations using slaves to propel their own economy.

Originally, Brian Friel’s play, The Freedom of the City, was seen by many critics as being a story about the poverty-stricken areas of Northern Ireland. However, after reading Bernice Schrank’s critical analysis of the play, who argues that The Freedom of the City is not a political play; I as the audience think it is fair to say the script does in fact, deal with present-day political components in depicting the diverse monologues, both from an Irish and British point of view, that had played major roles in their contributing to the tragedies of the period. It is with this said, that the proposed purpose of this essay will be to examine and discuss the political and socio-political aspects of Friel’s play, through key elements such as the justice system in Northern Ireland at the time, the Catholics and Protestants and their struggle with identity, and the stand-out events that inspired Friel in his

The moral of A Christmas Carol has everything to do with the transformation of the main character, Ebenezer Scrooge.   He begins the story as a miserly, closed-hearted man.   Through the events of the novel, he is transformed into a man whose heart is open to the pain and struggle (and love) of others, a man who has become someone who will participate in the world around him, rather than withdraw from it.
