The Whole Book
Old Scrooge had a bad reputation from others for being so frugal and cynical. One night, Marley, in a ghost form, came to him and told him that people like them would have to suffer after death by wandering the Earth due to their greedy lifestyles. Marley told him that there would be three ghosts visiting. After meeting the Ghost of Christmas Past, he remembered his ex-girlfriend who abandoned him because of his obsession with money. Then, he met the Ghost of Christmas Present, who somewhat indirectly convinced Scrooge to change his mind. Last but not least, he met the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come and found dead future Scrooge and people discussing about his charities and inheritances. He realized that he needs to change himself, regretted, and mourned. He came back to the present day Christmas and decided to celebrate it without any concerns about money, which made his neighbors surprised.
Even though the story itself seems very childish and nonsense, it definitely gives moral lessons. People should be benevolent and kind to each other not like Scrooge who was very mean and stingy. He realized he should not living life that way finally. Although I dislike Scrooge at first due to his mean personality and way of saying stuff, I think he is a likable and cute character. When he desperately asked who the man in the grave was to the Ghost of Christmas Yet to come, he was just like a typical desperate old man different from my original first impression toward him. I think the story was generally very straight forward with a clear theme and moral lesson.
