Book Review 5:A Christmas Carol


Scrooge is the main character. The name, Scrooge means stingy. He is a cold, hard man. He loves money and doesn't like people. He hate Christmas. So, he has no friends.
One day, Marley, who was a Scrooge's friend and has already died, appears as a ghost. He tells Scrooge that 3 ghosts will visit Scrooge to set him right.
The first ghost was the Ghost of Past Christmas. The ghost's clothes were white and it had some Christmas holly in it's hand. And a white light came from it's head. The ghost takes Scrooge to where Scrooge was born. Here, Scrooge remembers his old days. Scrooge thought that the young Scrooge was a very nice young man. However, he remembers his sad past, too.
The second ghost was the Ghost of Christmas Now. It was a fat, merry person in a long green coat. The Ghost takes Scrooge to the house of Bob Cratchit who is Scrooge's clerk. In his house, the family was preparing for Christmas. Here, Scrooge finds that Tom's son, Tiny Tim will not be able to alive longer. Also, they visit Scrooge's nephew, Fred. He had a good Christmas party with his wife and his friends. Fred says that he is sorry for Scrooge because Scrooge has no friends.
The third ghost was the Ghost of Future Christmas. The ghost was in black clothes and Scrooge could not see its face but he could see only one hand. The ghost didn't speak and it did not move. The ghost takes Scrooge to a shop. Very poor people bring things to this shop when they want to sell them. Two women come there and they sell something left by an unhappy man. The unhappy man was not loved by anybody, Scrooge learns. Scrooge says that he wants to see the sad person and the ghost takes Scrooge to a graveyard. Scrooge reads the name of the grave. It was EBENEZER SCROOGE. Scrooge says that he will be kind at Christnas and all year. Then, he will change his future.
Scrooge was happy because it was the Christmas. He was very kind to everyone. He gave money to people and he helped Tiny Tim who was ill. Then everyone loved Scrooge and Scrooge was very happy!

This is a good story. It is not easy to change one's mind. Thanks to the 3 ghosts, Scrooge could learn a lot of things from his Christmas and he could ghange his mind and his future.
I want to watch a DVD of this story!
