A Christmas Carol Book Report

Recently, I read the British famous novel A Christmas Carol,

which is written by Charles Dickens. And I think it is very

meaningful, I like it very much. A Christmas Carol give me deep

revelation in many ways. And it also let me think more about life,

love and social life. Below is my own feeling after reading A

Christmas Carol.

A Christmas Carol’s author Charles Dickens is a famous writer

in British literature history. He is born in 1812, died in 1870. The

only education he received was two years of schooling. At the age

of 12, he had to work as a worker and then became a reporter for a

newspaper. In 1837, his novel made him the most famous of his

time in England. The popularity of Dicken’s novels and short stories

has meant that not one has ever gone out of print. Ddickens wrote

serialized novels, the usual format for fiction at the time, and each

new part of his stories was eagerly anticipated by the reading

public.

A Christmas Carol represents a story happened in a Christmas

dream. The main character didn’t believe in Christmas and was

selfish and cruel to other people. However, after the tree ghosts

came and brought him to the past, present and the future, he

suddenly understood what share means.

Scrooge took his melancholy dinner in his usual melancholy

tavern; and having read all the newspapers, and beguiled the rest of

the evening with his banker’s book, went home to bed. He lived in

chambers which had once belonged to his deceased partner. They

were a gloomy suite of rooms, in a lowering pile of building up a

yard, where it had so little business to be, that one could scarcely

help fancying it must have run there when it was a young house,

playing at hide-and-seek with other houses, and have forgotten the

way out again. It was old enough now, and dreary enough; for

nobody lived in it but Scrooge, the other rooms being all let out as

offices. The yard was so dark that even Scrooge, who knew its

every stone, was fain to grope with his hands. The fog and frost so

hung about the black old gateway of the house, that it seemed as if

the Genius of the Weather sat in mournful meditation on the

threshold.

Ebenezer Scrooge was a greedy and lonely man. He wanted to

spend all his days working so as to make more money. He had a

clerk called Bob Cratchit, and he also wanted him to work all day

long without raising his salary. As Scrooge never felt that he had

made enough money he never felt happy, not even on Christmas.

Bob did not feel happy either, because he had to work all the year

round with no weekends, holidays, not even Christmas, yet still

being unable to support his family with his small salary.

On one Christmas Day, when Scroge went home after work,

there was something strange happening in his house. After he sat

down on his sofa to have a tea, a ghost appeared before him. It was

Scrooge’s old partner, Madrly Scrooge was frightened. The ghost of

Marley was chained up by a long iron chain. He told Scrooge that

he needed to change his bad ways otherwise he would also be

chained up when he died with even a much longer chain. He also

told Scrooge that there would be three ghosts coming to visit him

that night. And then the ghost left him and went away.

When the clock stroke one, the ghost of Christmas Present

appeared. It took him to Bob’s house. Although Bob’s family were

not very rich, they still had a good Christmas party. They drink for

each one’s health. But when they came to drink for Scrooge’s health,

everyone looked sad. They thought Scrooge was good for nothing.

Then the ghost took him to Scrooge’s nephew’s house. They were

having a Christmas party were talking about Scrooge.

They thought Scrooge was a miser who did not use his money to do

anything good. Scrooge made a reflection on how to spend his

money doing good deeds after he heard this.

Soon the clock struk two and the ghost of Christmas Future

came. It took Scrooge to a funeral house. It was his own funeral but

no one was sorry for him. This made Scrooge know that if he did

not change his miserly ways, he would have an awful result and a

miserable death. No one would miss him when he died. This trip

gave Scrooge a good warning and he became a generous and kind

man ever since the next day. He sent a turkey to Bob and gave to

the poor. Most importantly, he gave Bob a pay-rise.

The spirit of Christmas is to give, to forgive, and to love others.

A man who gets a lot of money but with no generosity will never

live a happy life. He will spend a life of unhappiness and grievance.

But a poor man with a generous heart will live his life in happiness

and laughter. We need to forgive others when they hurt you or harm

you, just like what Scrooge’s nephew did in the story. He forgave

Scrooge when Scrooge said something which hurt him a lot. We

also need to love others, just like what Scrooge did at the end of the

story. He sent a big turkey to Bob and gave him a pay-rise. Let us

be generous and kind, both to the poor and the strangers, our friends

and neighbors. In that way we will live a happy and lovely life in

the world.
