      There is no set number of quotations, but 8 is my rule of thumb. References count.

    Quick question, what about tiny Tim? Was he not very sick and the rest of bob cratchits family just surviving? Does this not in turn make Scrooge as greedy as the rest of society as he knows that he is suffering so much?

    • @MrSallesTeachesEnglish
      @MrSallesTeachesEnglish  8 місяців тому

      He changes in Stave 3 as soon as he sees Tiny Tim's predicament. Dickens' point is that Bob receives the going rate - what employers everywhere are paying leads to the deaths of thousands of Tiny Tims

    HOW IRONIC THAT SCROOGE WOULD BE RIGHT AT HOME IN THIS ERA AS GREED HAS HIT ALL THOSE NEWLY MINTED TRILLIONAIRES WHO MAKE MILLIONS HOURLY, YET BILLIONS STILL NEVER EAT DAILY!!!

      @MrSallesTeachesEnglish  3 роки тому

      Sorry. Though I will say the most interesting part of the play is the killing of Cato the poet. It is both comic and tragic. And of course the play is topical in Elizabethan England because everyone is worried what will happen when Elizabeth dies without an heir - they fear civil war.

      Watch my video on Scrooge and take notes on anything you can link to hope (clue: pretty much anything can be linked to hope). Start with what Dickens is hoping to persuade his readers

    this doesnt make sense at all lmfao. if scrooge wasnt greedy, he would have given money to the two men asking for charity, or at least turned them down less harshly.

    • @MrSallesTeachesEnglish
      @MrSallesTeachesEnglish  9 місяців тому +1

      Imagine a greedy person who loves food. Would they buy a lot of it and then not eat it? That would make no sense. So, what motivates Scrooge to have so much money is also not greed.
