"External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him.

No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty."

"Darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked it."

"I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach. Oh, tell me I may sponge away the writing on this stone!"

"It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humour."

Well, dear boys and girls;you see the way I am now is verry different than the way I used to be. I used to be a stingy and hartless old man but something changed my life...Once upon a time on Christmas Eve I was working in my office ;a normal day for me but then all of the sudden Fred my young nephw, a cheerfull man distrbed my cold complete silence.He wanted to invite me to his party and make ME feel the spirit of Christmas I was thinking that Christmas was just a waste of money...time. I saw on his face that he was strugleing not to loose his happynes and not to let the spirit of Christmas leave.Well he went away but hen two other gentleman came in...They waned some money for the poor but why would I have give them money its just like you would throw money in the bin.My clerk Bob Chrachit wanted to have a day off...but for what?It wouldnt be fair!!!Later we I arrived home I thought I saw someting..it was marleys face Mabey its just a mirajeI thought.But it wasnt because later I saw him, he was right there NO DOUBT he was there I saw Marley.He was standing in front of me.He tolled me something about the kindness that he didt have and thet he was pnished I think it was more like an advice becase he said I needed to change and that I hand just one more chance.Afterwords he went away.Before leaving he said something about three spirits but I didnt understand what he ment.I falled askeep and when I woke up I was confused I couuldnt remember much!But then a strannge figure apared he was suposed to be the spirit of the christmas past he took me to a lot of places.He took me back when i was a little boy,I saw myself when I was a aprentice and then while I was talking to my girlfriend an then I saw her

marryed talking to her husband.Then he took me home and all of a sudden everything was dark again I managed to fall asleep but thn I woke up in the middl of a nore I sat up and I went in the other room.Thre was the spirit of the Christmas present he took me to Bobs house;he and his family were enjoying the Christma and then he took me to Freds party;it was great!After he shoed me some poor and sick peaople whic were enjoying the Christmas.But then evrything finished I was back.The 3rd spirit came it looked like the death...It was the spirit of the Christmas yet to come he took me in a lot of places where peaople were talking about a rich stingy man that just died,he took me to a graveyard and showed me agrave I looked a it.MY NAME WAS WRITTEN ON IT.Then I realized how bad I was I wanted tochange!But the spirit disapeared and I was in my room.I was so happy. It was Christmas and I was completley changed!

Dear Mr.Scrooge, I admire peaople like you...That can manage to change themselves even if they dont want to!What you did was strong and It made me trust myself more...See when I actuallt see things like this I feel more powerful and sure that I can also do this.I love te way that peaople manage to leave all te bad things behind and just trust that everything is going to be OK!

Thanks for makeing me feel trustful With love,Ana

Impresion: I really enjoyed reading this book because is a old type of book written in a new way.Its a really interesting book and it has a really poerfull message!Y recommand the book to kids and adults of all the ages.This book doesnt have age!

The old Scrooge vs The new Scrooge The new Scrooge is verry different from the old scrooge he is really changed.They have really different personalityes.The old Scrooge was stingy, rude and mean but the new Scrooge is good,kind and he knows how to keep Christmas.
