精品文档The Report on A Christmas CarolEnglish 0903JaneA Christmas Carol is one of the best-known works of Charles Dickens, who is a Criticismwriter in the 19 th century. His works mainly reflect the reality andA Christmas Carol, with noexception, mirrors westerners lives on Christmas.The novel tells an old man who regards money as his own life-Ebenezer Scrooge. Even on Christmas Eve, when the family gets together and people bless each other, he is still quite mean to everybody. It is not until three ghosts coming to reveal his childhood, present and future that he realizes how important to be good to others and what Christmas means. The ghosts of the past, present and future visit Scrooge and help him see how his behaviour has impacted on his life, and the way that he is treated by other people as a consequence. At the end of the novel, Scrooge is no longer the one he has been.From the novel Ive learned what the inherent meaning of Christmas is, which results in my thinking about how to treat others.Christmas is to western countries what Spring Festival is to China. Although both festivalsare designed to celebrating the coming year, they have their distinctive characters. I used to assume that Christmas is merely about Santa Claus, gifts, or big meal. Now I have realizedChristmas is also the time to put away ones hatred and to treat others well sincerely. For instance, Bob, Scrooges clerk, toasts the longevity and health of Scrooge though Scrooge gives him so little money that he can hardly make ends meet. Bob and his families live in poverty; however, they know gratitude and amicability. Hence they lead a full-of-laughter life. In contrast, wealthy as heis, Scrooge is as dismal as the dark night. To be friendly a spirit of Christmas is one of thedifferences between Christmas and Spring Festival. Nowadays an increasing number ofyoungChinese have been taking a fancy to Christmas as if it were a most fashionable symbol. But how many of them recognize what Christmas means indeed? I think there is no point in celebrating Christmas without knowing the Christmas culture.As for the protagonist, Scrooge, he is a representative of those who go to extreme to earn money so that he ignores love-love for friends, for soul mate, and for people in need. To someextend, Scrooge is lucky in that he meets three ghosts and avoids ending up in being a wandering ghost like his partner, Marley.Scrooge finally becomes a man with great heart. Whereas, there are still Scrooges in our present society. Especially in China, the richer they are, the more reluctant they are when it comes to doing charity. Although it is not obligatory for the rich to donate money, the world needs all peoples love, no matter who you are. Last but not the least, happiness does not lie in what you精品文档精品文档have gained but what you have dedicated.To sum up, A Christmas Carol rethinks the relationship among people, convincingreaders that human beings should be kind to each other.精品文档
