 Studying a Christmas Carol? I'll summarise what happens in this story in less than 60 seconds. The story begins on Christmas Eve when we find Scrooge and his worker Bob Cratchit working in the cold. We learn that Scrooge is miserly. He rejects two charity men who come and ask for charity donations and who visits Have Christmas at his nephew's friend's home. Scrooge then grudgingly gives Bob Cratchit a day off for Christmas Day. When Scrooge gets home, the ghost of his dead business partner, Jacob Marley, visits and warns him about the afterlife. Then the ghost of Christmas past comes to visit and he shows Scrooge his past, his childhood, Fezzywick his good boss and Belle his first love. Then the ghost of Christmas present comes to visit Scrooge and he shows him, tiny Tim as well as Bob Cratchit's poor family, friends family as well as the two children, ignorance and want. Then the terrifying ghost of Christmas yet to come visits showing Scrooge his own death. Finally Christmas Day arrives and we learn that Scrooge has changed and become a better man.
