Page 2: Scrooge's Transformation
The second page focuses on Scrooge's dramatic transformation, showcasing the stark contrast between his initial character and his reformed self through carefully selected quotations and literary analysis.
Quote: "I hope to live to be another man from which I was"
Highlight: The use of dramatic irony in "I am as merry as a schoolboy" demonstrates Scrooge's transformation while referencing his lonely past
Example: The text showcases character development through parallel scenes, such as Scrooge's changed attitude toward Bob Cratchit's Christmas day off
Vocabulary: Ironic echo - a literary device where earlier dialogue or actions are repeated with a transformed meaning or context
The analysis demonstrates how Dickens uses various literary techniques to portray Scrooge's redemption arc and the power of Christmas spirit to transform even the coldest of hearts.
Page 2: Scrooge's Transformation
This section demonstrates Scrooge's dramatic character development, showing his transformation through carefully selected quotes that contrast with his earlier behavior.
Quote: "I hope to live to be another man from which I was"
Highlight: The dramatic irony in Scrooge's comparison to a "merry schoolboy" deepens our understanding of his character's complexity.
Example: The juxtaposition between Scrooge's initial reluctance to give Bob Cratchit Christmas day off and his later enthusiasm for sending him a turkey illustrates his transformation.
Page 3: Supporting Characters and Their Significance
This page explores the important role of supporting characters, particularly Fred and Bob Cratchit, in highlighting themes of family, forgiveness, and Christmas spirit.
Quote: "Though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good"
Highlight: Fred's character serves as a moral compass, demonstrating the value of family bonds over material wealth.
Example: The contrast between Fred's "ruddy and handsome" appearance and Scrooge's initial description emphasizes their opposing worldviews.
Page 1: Initial Characterization of Scrooge
This page introduces Scrooge's initial character through powerful quotations and literary analysis. The text explores his early attitudes toward Christmas and the poor, establishing his miserly nature through carefully chosen language.
Quote: "What right have you to be merry? you're poor enough"
Highlight: The use of metaphors in a christmas carol is particularly evident in "Hard and sharp as Flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire"
Example: The text employs personification in a christmas carol through "Scrooge took his melancholy dinner in his usual melancholy Tavern"
Definition: Hypophora, used in Scrooge's questioning of Fred's merriment, is a rhetorical device where the speaker poses and answers their own question

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
