How does Charles Dickens try to encourage his readers to alter their moral and social conscience towards the poor through scrooge's experiences?

The way in which Dickens sets the scene is so vivid. You can see what they are like in your mind so these are familiar scenes for people who live in London “the ancient tower of the church, whose gruff old bell was always peeping slily down at scrooge out of the gothic window in the wall”. The use of 3rd person narrative lets you have an incite in how every character is feeling and thinking this is also typical storyteller form.  The ghosts in this story are not typical ghost as they are not scary the only one who fits a normal description of a ghost is Jacob Marley, when he turned the door handle it startled Scrooge” to say he was not startled, or his blood was not conscious of a terrible sensation to which it had been a stranger from infancy, would be untrue.” The other the ghosts are more religious figures trying to make him a better person “the voice was soft and gentle”. Again Dickens descriptive skills, the use of imagery, adjective adverbs and five senses help you to create a vivid image in your mind. Descriptive writing is often made of long and often complex sentences, where punctuation has been used to create specific meanings. Although changes in language have occurred the change doesn’t make a difference when you read the novel it is the message is the same know as it was when it was first written. Dickens used a chronological order which meant that the story developed in a logical way, according to actual time, this is important because it makes it easy to follow the plot and it makes it more believable. Dickens makes a happy ending in this novel which shows it not too late to change your ways, and if you do the world would be a happier place.  

Dickens has shown in writing this book his was a extremely talented writer. He gets his message across clearly and it is the poor should be helped not be punished for being poor. He believes the poor should get the basics for living like shelter and food. The rich didn’t have the same view point as dickens about the poor so this book criticized them and they are represented by scrooge and he is telling them its not to late to change there ways. Dickens views on society are very clear in this book. He was a firm believer that the poor should be given a chance to make there own money. The impact this book made on me was that help me to create an image of how people thought back in those days.    

As Dickens used to work in factories he knows how hard it is to work in bad conditions he also used to work as a clerk so he knows a fair deal about both work places so his plot is very good. The idea and purpose of the text is that the poor should be helped. The impact is that people will thick how they act around and to people. The relevance of this text is historical; it gives an accurate account of what life was like at the time. The writer ha achieved his goals of making the point that the poor should be helped. The story made me think about what it was like at the time and that it has the same relevance now.
