HofE Jennifer Webb Oooh, easy. They think 1) Scrooge doesn't love anyone 2) He's simply angry all the time 3) want and ignorance are real children 4) motif of light or motif of warmth represent Christmas (despite going over these all the time) 5)Scrooge becomes a socialist.

Barbara Bleiman ๐ŸŽ“ Education is Conversation HofE It really helped them develop their empathy with characters - theyโ€™d remember the feelings of frustration when trying to organise their โ€˜survivalโ€™ and others wouldnโ€™t listen. It helped them understand how quickly civilisation can fall apart in that novel!

Donal Hale Mary H-P HofE Jennifer Webb Chris Curtis Which brings us to a small mystery. Heโ€™s an unhappy child. But heโ€™s a happy apprentice to Fezziwig. Then he makes Belle happy - until he doesnโ€™t. If these are in chronological order, when (and why) does Ebeneezer become Scrooge?

Mike Gould HofE Jennifer Webb The Doom written on Ignoranceโ€™s brow is clearly the threat of revolution - five years (I think) before the publication of the Communist manifesto and the Springtime of the Peoples in 1848

HofE Jennifer Webb That Dickens presents the poor in one way - sentimental & saintly ( cf Tiny Tim etc) when it is much more nuanced. The figures of Ignorance & Want are frightening. Some evidence Dickens saw root of revolution & social chaos in the poor.
