Student Review: "A Christmas Carol," by Charles Dickens

Ebeneezer Scrooge is a unhappy and mean person who loves money more than anything. The ghost of Jacob Marley, who has been dead for 7 years and is Scrooges old business partner, visits Scrooge and tells him that he will be visited by 3 spirits and if he does not learn to be good, will suffer a terrible fate after death as he did. Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, the first spirit, who shows him the terrible things of his past. Then, by the Ghost of Christmas Present, who shows Scrooge how happy poor people can be at Christmas time. Next he is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Present who shows Scrooge that after he dies, nobody cares. He is back in his house in time for Christmas day. He changes his ways and was a very kind man to everyone around him. I liked this book because it was a good story and had a good message.

Review by Elliana G.

This book was a Christmas story about an old man. He hatted Christmas and was a very grumpy man. One night, he was visited by three ghosts: the ghost of Christmas past, the ghost of Christmas present, and the ghost of what is yet to come. He learned his lesson and what must be done. When he woke up, he was the most happiest person in town. He gave money to the poor, smiled and wished people merry Christmas for the first time, and made people feel the spirit of Christmas. I really liked this book and would definitely read this book again!
