A Christmas carol is a famous story about a man who changes from a bad man who doesn't like Christmas and doesn't care for anyone to a man that loves Christmas and cares for everyone. The mans name is Ebenezer Scrooge.

My essay is about Scrooge who changes from a good to a bad man after three ghosts visit him, the ghost of Christmas past, present and future.

Before the ghosts visited scrooge he was an unhappy man. He didn't like anyone and he didn't like Christmas. Whenever somebody said 'merry Christmas' he said 'bah humbug' to them and walked away. Scrooge was a selfish man who didn't care for anyone except himself and Jacob Marley, his business partner who died. Scrooge and Marley had a business, which was called 'Scrooge & Marley'. Marley was scrooge's best and only friend, when Marley died Scrooge didn't go to his funeral, but scrooge didn't change the name of the business he kept it as 'Scrooge & Marley'. Marley died on Christmas Eve and seven years later on Christmas Eve Marley's ghost came to visit Scrooge. Marley's ghost told him to make his life better and to treat people better or he will become like Marley when he dies, Marley had chains tied to him which made it difficult for him to walk and fly. This was his punishment for the life he lived. Marley told Scrooge that three ghosts are going to visit you, the ghost of Christmas past, present and future. Scrooge was a greedy man because whenever people came to him for donations he gave them nothing. Nobody liked him even the poor didn't ask him for money.

Bob Crachit worked for Scrooge. Scrooge treated him badly and only paid him fifteen shillings a week. Bob Crachit didn't hate Scrooge, he had a bit of feelings for him, Bob Crachit had a big family, but he only got fifteen shillings a week for his wage which wasn't a lot so Bob Crachit's family didn't get enough to eat. He had a son called Tiny Tim whose leg was crippled. Scrooge had a niece and a nephew who asked him over for dinner but he wouldn't go. His nephew said "merry Christmas" to him but scrooge just said "bah humbug" and he said "what right have you to be merry, what reason do you have to be merry". Scrooge didn't like Christmas because ha had a bad childhood and he didn't get any presents from his father.

One night Scrooge was lying in his bed looking at the window. A bright light shone on the window and then the first of three ghosts came, the ghost of Christmas past. The ghost told scrooge who he was. At first scrooge was shocked and scared but then he got hold of the ghosts' hand and they went into the past to when Scrooge was a little boy. They were on a road where boys were going past in carriages. Scrooge looked at the boys and said 'I know these boys they were my friends'. The ghost then ...
