  either SCROOGE or BAH HUMBUG

For example....

• Saucy old man,
• Cheap and petty,
• Rarely caring for anyone but himself.
• Others are not
• Of his concern,

• You may or may not have an idea of who the dead
  man is however, we must use our critical reading
  skills to determine the identity of the dead man.
• Find clues to help prove who the dead man is,
  using the text. Write down quotes, and then
  briefly explain what this tells the reader about
  the dead man.
