a tale of two cities, hard times, pickwick papers,ect.writingstyleattracting humors and careful analysis,connect realism with romanticism properlyassessmenthe was a sympathizer to the poor, the suffering, theoppressed; and by his death, one of england’s greatestwriters to the world. today we’re going to read the passage a christmas carol adapted according to the same name a christmas carol written by charles dickens.iii. background   this part not only introduces background but also brings in new key words.  charles dickens’ works display his deep sympathy and love for the poor. in his time many people earned very low wage they could hardly live on. the rich only occupied themselves with making money, and had no eye for the needs and welfare of their works. opportunities to find well-paid jobs were far from abundant.  dickens wrote a christmas carol in 1843. when the book appeared, it was an immediate success. several of the characters in the book are very striking. there is bob, who works for scrooge as a clerk, wearing an old and worn overcoat. and warming his frozen hands over a candle as the windows are covered with frost. and then there is fred, scrooge’s nephew, who invites his uncle to a dinner. finally there is santa clause, who brings scrooge back to his old days to make him admit the fact that he only cares for money. and of course scrooge, a cold, mean old man, is always commenting on everything by saying “humbug”—an expression typical of dickens’ times.iv. skimming  a christmas carol is a play, which is made up of two parts ( reading and integrating skills), so we should read the play as a whole. please skim the play and tell me the main plots of the play.plots of the play         contentsprologue……outsetin scrooge’s officerising actionbob tries to warm his hands—fred leaves.climaxscrooge falls asleepoutcomechristmas day: scrooge goes to bob’s cratchit’s houseepilogue……v. careful reading             a christmas caroloutsetinbobtoo cold to write, warming his handsscrooge’sover the candle.officescroogetells bob to continue workingrisingactionbob tries to warmhis hands--- fredleaves. agentlemancomes.bobasks scrooge for a day off on christmas day.scroogeunwilling to promise bob.fredscrooge’s nephew, invites his uncle to havedinner, describes the important meaning ofchristmas day.
