Primary Schools – A Christmas Carol
\nEbenezer Scrooge is a miserly old man who believes that Christmas is just an excuse for people to miss work and for idle people to expect handouts. He doesn\u2019t believe in all of the good cheer and charity that the season promotes, and the makes sure everyone knows it. <\/p>\n
On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, a small, elderly figure. The Ghost shows Scrooge scenes from the past that trace Scrooge\u2019s development from a young boy, lonely but happy, to a young man with the first traces of greed. <\/p>\n
Then, the Ghost of Christmas Present arrives and shows him several current scenes of Christmas joy and charity at the Cratchit household. The Ghost informs Scrooge that Cratchit\u2019s young son, Tiny Tim, will die because his family can\u2019t afford treatments a cause of the meagre salary. <\/p>\n
The silent, black-dressed Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come replaces the other ones. He shows Scrooge several scenes of people discussing someone\u2019s death; he finally discovers that he is the one who has died and whose death has only pleased people. <\/p>\n
Scrooge awakes on Christmas morning a new man. He becomes jolly, charitable and friendly with everybody. <\/p>\n
