“I will honour Christmas in my heart,
and try to keep it all the year.”
One miser.
Three Christmas Spirits.
One night to change a life.
Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol is far more than a Christmas ghost story. It is a powerful examination of poverty, money, family, isolation, childhood, social responsibility and the possibility of redemption.
Coleman’s Notes: A Christmas Carol takes students through the complete novella, showing not only what happens but how Dickens constructs Scrooge’s transformation and what he wants his readers to consider.
