(CK) Christmas Carol
(CK) A Christmas Carol
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A Christmas Carol was written by | Charles Dickens |
| The story is divided into | staves |
| Scrooge and Marley were | business partners |
| Marley has been dead for | seven years |
| Ebenezer can best be described as | greedy |
| The story begins on | Christmas Eve |
| The setting is | London, England, in the mid 1800's |
| Scrooge regards Christmas as | an occasion of no importance |
| Who invites Scrooge to Christmas Dinner? | his nephew, Fred |
| Two portly gentlemen ask Scrooge to | give money to the poor and needy |
| Scrooge growls after agreeing to his clerk's request for | a paid holiday |
| That night Scrooge is visited by the ghost of | Jacob Marley |
| He is walking the earth because he | did not care enough about the welfare of others |
| According to this ghost, a man's main concern should be | mankind |
| This ghost tells Scrooge that he | will be visited by three spirits who can help him escape his fate |
| At one o'clock in the morning Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Christmas | Past |
| This spirit looks like | a child and an old man |
| The spirit leads Scrooge to a warehouse where Scrooge | was apprenticed |
| On Christmas Eve, Mr. Fezziwig organizes | dancing and refreshments |
| As an employer, Mr. Fezziwig is | thoughtful |
| The spirit shows Scrooge the girl who was once his | fiance |
| Scrooge reacts to the above scene with intense | sadness and regret |
| The next (second) spirit, The Ghost of Christmas Present, looks like | a laughing giant |
| The Ghost of Christmas Present first escorts Scrooge to the home of Bob Cratchit, who is his | clerk |
| Tiny Tim Cratchit is | crippled |
| The Cratchit family is (a theme of the story) | poor but happy |
| Bob's voice trembles when he said that Tiny Tim was growing strong and healthy because | he knows Tim is getting weaker, but Bob doesn't want to admit it |
| The next household (which is Fred's) is very | merry |
| At the Cratchit's house and at Fred's Scrooge learns that he (Scrooge) | is disliked by some |
| Fred tells his family and friends that the one Scrooge hurts the most is | himself |
| The Ghost of Christmas Present took Scrooge to | foreign lands, many homes, jails, and hospitals |
| The last spirit was named | The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come |
| This spirit first takes Scrooge to the Exchange where he hears a group of businessmen discussing | the death of a rich man |
| Scrooge is horrified by the three people in the shop of stolen goods who are | selling items they have stolen from a dead man |
| The spirit then shows Scrooge a clear scene in which Tiny Tim is | dead and mourned by his family |
| The last place the spirit takes Scrooge is to | a dismal, wretched churchyard where he sees his own grave |
| The climax of the story is Scrooge's vow to change. He promises to | honor Christmas in his heart and try to keep it all the year |
| Scrooge has a prize turkey delivered to | Bob Cratchit's house |
| When Scrooge sees the portly gentleman on the street, he tells him that he'll | give a large sum of money to the poor |
| Scrooge spends Christmas Day with | his nephew and wife |
| The next day Scrooge told Bob Cratchit that he would | raise his salary and help his family |
| What really happened to Tiny Tim? | he did not die |
| And so, as Tiny Tim observed, | "God Bless Us, Every One!" |
| I'm as happy as an angel. | This is a simile. |
| I'm as merry as a schoolboy. | This is a simile. |
| I'm as light as a feather. | This is a simile. |
| I'm as giddy as a drunken man. | This is a simile. |
