Answer:

Christmas Carol

How does Charles Dickens convey the character of scrooge in the early pages of a Christmas Carol?

Charles Dickens, is best known for his host of distinctively cruel, repugnant characters.

His father was sent to a Debtors prison taken his son Charles with him maybe this is where some of the ideas for characters came from. After a few years, Dickens left the prison to work in a blacking factory.

Dickens started writing in prosperous Victorian England, where only the rich were cared for. He grew up seeing what the poor people had to experience and how they had to live in this world.

The technique the writer uses is of a physical appearance. Describing

Scrooge he gives the readers an idea of what he looks…show more content…

The author tells us directly what Scrooge is,

“ A tight-fisted hand at the grindstone. Scrooge! A squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner.”

This is a very good description by Dickens showing us how horrible

Scrooge is, Dickens doesn’t stop after a few lines he continues until the reader clearly gets the point.

To express Scrooge’s meanness Dickens uses harsh words saying that

“Scrooge liked to edge his way along the crowded paths of life, warning all human sympathy to keep its distance.”

This shows that the human race didn’t like Scrooge.

The author describes Scrooge by putting plenty of feelings into the lines. Dickens describes Scrooge with feeling in the line,

“Oh! But he was a tight fisted hand at the grindstone.”

This suggests that Scrooge makes people work very hard and doesn’t give them a lot in return.

Another way Dickens uses to dramatise Scrooge’s unpleasantness is by showing how the other characters react to him and him to them. If he is asked a question the answer is always No. He never reacts with kindness or politeness to other characters. Scrooge’s nephew is one of the few characters who makes an effort to be pleasant to him, but

Scrooge is always nasty to him. When Christmas is mentioned Scrooge becomes especially cross.

The time that Dickens has chosen, Christmas, is perfect for showing just how mean and nasty Scrooge is. Scrooge hates Christmas and he also hates to see lights.

WILL GIVE 50POINTS IF CORRECT ❗️❗️❗️


Polina the Polar Bear sat on an ice floe in the Arctic Ocean, north of Alaska. Polina was waiting for her mother, Bearnice, to return with some tasty seal blubber for lunch. Bearnice was hunting, waiting for seals to come up for air through holes in the ice, the same way Polar Bears have hunted in the winter for centuries. Except this year there was one big difference.

A lot more of the ice had melted last summer, and this winter it hadn’t refrozen as usual. A combination of warmer weather and changes in water and air currents was making the ocean warmer than anyone could remember, and Bearnice had to swim farther every day to find a good hunting spot.

As Polina waited for her mother to bring food back to her floe, the ice shrank bit by bit until she was sitting on very thin ice. As Polina waited helplessly, the furry white cub heard a deep voice coming from the direction of the sea.

“Hellooo little bear,” it said. Polina had never heard such a deep voice. She lifted her tired head to look out over the water, and was surprised that the voice seemed to come from a dark ice floe just offshore.

"No, wait!" It had a huge eyeball that was looking directly at her. It wasn’t an ice floe — it was the largest whale Polina had ever seen. It was also the first whale that had ever spoken to her.

“They call me Farswimmer,”said the whale, “because I travel all over the world, having adventures and learning new things. What brings you here alone, Polar Bear?” Farswimmer was very old, and he had seen many changes in his years of exploring the oceans. He certainly knew more about the world than most polar bears.

Farswimmer seemed like a nice whale, but Polina remembered Bearnice, her mother, and how she hadn’t come back from hunting.

Farswimmer blew a tall spout to distract Polina and stop her from crying.

When Polina told the whale her own story, he said, “I’m headed north anyway. You could ride on my back, and we can look for your mother. Are you ready for an adventure?” The next morning, Farswimmer and Polina charted their course and took off. Polina rode Farswimmer’s back and sometimes floated behind him, holding his tail. She also stood on his back and pretended she was surfing. It was a blast.

They took a break on an ice floe. Soon, they saw something in the distance that looked like another ice floe, but just to be sure, Farswimmer left Polina on the ice and swam to the floating object.

It wasn’t an object. It was an animal. Farswimmer used his fat nose to push the animal to Polina’s icy raft. When they got closer, Polina saw a familiar face.

“Mommy,” she yelped. Bearnice was very tired, but the sound of her cub’s voice made her happy. She opened her arms and the two embraced each other in a big bear hug.
