A Christmas Carol ~ BR 2-11~

This time, I read a book named "A Christmas Carol". I read this book because Christmas will come soon. I have been interested in this book, but I have waited for the season. Now I read this book and could write the review.

This is a story of one man. His name was Scrooge. He was a greedy man. Money was his life. He had much money, but he wasn't happy. He never used his money. He was a lonely person. The Christmas season came. All of the people liked the day and looked happy except Scrooge. People said to Scrooge "Marry Christmas!!", but he responded to people " Humbug." He had had only one friend before but then he had been dead, so he was alone and hated Christmas.

One day, the ghost appeared. In the surprised, the ghost was Scrooge's friend, Marley!! He told Scrooge he wanted to help Scrooge. However, Scrooge couldn't understand his meaning. Marley said only three ghost would appeared in front of him, and disappeared. And then, three ghost came to Scrooge's. They showed him his past, now and future Christmas. All of Christmas were so sad that he was afraid of his life. He had money, but he was not happy all of Christmas. No one would be sad when he die in the future. He noticed that he couldn't live alone. After that, Christmas day came. He decided to attend the party, and share his money to poor people. Every people could be happy.

You know, Christmas is special day. It is a good chance to realize how important family, friends, and so on is. I want to spend the time with them and say thanks. Family and friends are my treasure. I think I mustn't forget feeling of gratitude to them.

Before he was born, his father had already been dead. His mother live with servant whose name is Peggoty. His mother and Peggoty were kind persons. They hoped a baby, and didn't care about a boy or a girl. However, Aunt Besty hoped that baby would be a girl because she didn't like a boy because of her past. But, you know, the baby was David, that means a boy. Therefore he couldn't his aunt for a long time, but he had a mother and Prggoty. He was so happy.

One day, Mr Murdstone got marry with David's mother. He hated David. Mr. Murdstone has a sister, and she also hated David. Soon, David's mother were ill and were dead.

She didn't like a boy, but actually, she was kind and gentle woman. She grew the boy. David decided to be a lowyer for his aunt at that time.

After that, many things were happened. It is too many to talk. For example, money problem, marrige problem, friendship problem, and so on. I want to say that he had to overcome many issues. He went forward step by step. He was a kind and gentle man like his mother. He worked hard for his aunt, gave the advises for his friends, faced with bad people without running away. Therefore, he could solved all problems. Finally, he got marry and be happy.
