MARLEYS GHOST
3
  • Scrooges old friend and partner came to see him
    one Christmas Eve.
  • Marleys mouth had a folded kerchief wrapped
    around his head and chin. The kerchief was there
    to keep his moth from hanging open. Back then the
    dead had to have kerchiefs around there mouths
    and chins to keep them from coming open while
    people were viewing them in their casket.
  • Marleys Ghost also had chains around him. The
    chains represent his spirit staying on earth
    until he pays all his debts.

The Ghost Of Christmas Past

  • This is the Ghost of Christmas Past.
  • It is VERY old. Yet it has a face without any
    wrinkles at all. It holds a holly leaf. The holly
    represents the season, winter, Christmas! The
    light coming out of its head represents
    memories, Scrooges memories. It holds a hat. When
    put on its head the memories will disappear. The
    dress represents its youthfulness.
  • This Spirit takes Scrooge to see his past.
  • What does Scrooge see?

  • All around him lays turkeys, geese, game brawn,
    great joints of meat, suckling pigs, long wreaths
    of sausages, mince pies, plum puddings, barrels
    of oysters, red hot chestnuts, cherry-cheeked
    apples, juicy oranges, luscious pears, immense
    twelfth-cakes, and great bowls of punch.
