#10 - National & Religious Holidays


Christmas Carol - play + book


I think Christmas Carol is the good book and play for everybody to get lessons not to be selfish and be generous to others. Christmas is the international holiday to celebrate Jesus' birthday so everybody are supposed to get break time from their works, love each other, and be happy. A Chritst Carol shows a process that Scrooge learns and understand other's circumstance, get lessons, and finally gets genorous. I've been to this play with my host family, and I think it really help children to learn lesson. A closed mind and negative old man, name "scrooge" learnt that the world is not dark and worthless like he thought by traveling through the time ; past, present, and future. For example, "The school is not quite deserted," said the Ghost. "A solitary child, neglected by his friends, is left there still." In this quote, ghost taught him how worthful the world is. After he met ghosts of present, past, and future, he changed a lot from dark and negative person to bright person. After traveling through the time, he said, "Lead on! The night is waning fast, and it is precious time to me, I know. Lead on, Spirit!" It show us the his big change toward the life.
