9. Write the summary if the A mean-spirited, miserly old man named Ebenezer
book Scrooge sits in his counting-house on a frigid
Christmas Eve. His clerk, Bob Cratchit, shivers in the
anteroom because Scrooge refuses to spend money on
heating coals for a fire. Scrooge's nephew, Fred, pays
his uncle a visit and invites him to his annual
Christmas party. Two portly gentlemen also drop by
and ask Scrooge for a contribution to their charity.
Scrooge reacts to the holiday visitors with bitterness
and venom, spitting out an angry "Bah! Humbug!" in
response to his nephew's "Merry Christmas!"
Later that evening, after returning to his dark, cold

apartment, Scrooge receives a chilling visitation from
the ghost of his dead partner, Jacob Marley. Marley,
looking haggard and pallid, relates his unfortunate
story. As punishment for his greedy and self-serving
life his spirit has been condemned to wander the Earth
weighted down with heavy chains. Marley hopes to
save Scrooge from sharing the same fate. Marley
informs Scrooge that three spirits will visit him during
each of the next three nights. After the wraith
disappears, Scrooge collapses into a deep sleep.
He wakes moments before the arrival of the Ghost of

Christmas Past, a strange childlike phantom with a
brightly glowing head. The spirit escorts Scrooge on a
journey into the past to previous Christmases from the
curmudgeon's earlier years. Invisible to those he
watches, Scrooge revisits his childhood school days,
his apprenticeship with a jolly merchant named
Fezziwig, and his engagement to Belle, a woman who
leaves Scrooge because his lust for money eclipses his
ability to love another. Scrooge, deeply moved, sheds
tears of regret before the phantom returns him to his
bed.
The Ghost of Christmas Present, a majestic giant clad

in a green fur robe, takes Scrooge through London to
unveil Christmas as it will happen that year. Scrooge
watches the large, bustling Cratchit family prepare a
miniature feast in its meager home. He discovers Bob
Cratchit's crippled son, Tiny Tim, a courageous boy
whose kindness and humility warms Scrooge's heart.
The specter then zips Scrooge to his nephew's to
witness the Christmas party. Scrooge finds the jovial
gathering delightful and pleads with the spirit to stay
until the very end of the festivities. As the day passes,
the spirit ages, becoming noticeably older. Toward the
end of the day, he shows Scrooge two starved
children, Ignorance and Want, living under his coat.
He vanishes instantly as Scrooge notices a dark,
hooded figure coming toward him.
The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come leads Scrooge

through a sequence of mysterious scenes relating to an
unnamed man's recent death. Scrooge sees
businessmen discussing the dead man's riches, some
vagabonds trading his personal effects for cash, and a
poor couple expressing relief at the death of their
unforgiving creditor. Scrooge, anxious to learn the
lesson of his latest visitor, begs to know the name of
the dead man. After pleading with the ghost, Scrooge
finds himself in a churchyard, the spirit pointing to a
grave. Scrooge looks at the headstone and is shocked
to read his own name. He desperately implores the
spirit to alter his fate, promising to renounce his
insensitive, avaricious ways and to honor Christmas
with all his heart. Whoosh! He suddenly finds himself
safely tucked in his bed.
Overwhelmed with joy by the chance to redeem

himself and grateful that he has been returned to
Christmas Day, Scrooge rushes out onto the street
hoping to share his newfound Christmas spirit. He
sends a giant Christmas turkey to the Cratchit house
and attends Fred's party, to the stifled surprise of the
other guests. As the years go by, he holds true to his
promise and honors Christmas with all his heart: he
treats Tiny Tim as if he were his own child, provides
lavish gifts for the poor, and treats his fellow human
beings with kindness, generosity, and warmth.
