A Christmas Carol - Lesson 8 - A New Man Worksheet

In Lesson 8 of a series on "A Christmas Carol," students are tasked with exploring the transformation of the character Ebenezer Scrooge by examining his behavior and statements towards Bob Cratchit in the concluding part of the story. After reading the text to its conclusion, pupils are encouraged to identify and quote specific instances that demonstrate the significant changes in Scrooge's character and attitude.

One such quote that exemplifies Scrooge's transformation is when he tells Bob Cratchit, "I’ll raise your salary." This statement is a stark contrast to Scrooge's earlier demeanor, where he was reluctant even to grant Bob the day off for Christmas, showcasing his miserly ways. This newfound generosity indicates a profound shift in Scrooge's approach to money and his treatment of others, highlighting the theme of redemption and the impact of the Christmas spirit on his previously cold-hearted disposition.
