Answer:
Christmas is a kind, forgiving, charitable and pleasant time of the year.
Explanation:
In Stave one of the "The Christmas Carol", readers can explore the theme of the story through words like "a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time" and "few of us are
endeavouring to raise a fund to buy the Poor some meat and drink, and means of
warmth".
One of the themes of the Stave one is that Christmas is a kind, forgiving, charitable and pleasant time of the year. This can seen in the conversations between Scrooge and his nephew. Scrooge felt that Christmas was a "humbag" while his nephew felt that it was the best time to the year.
Also, the conversations that Scrooge has with the two portly gentlemen highlights how Scrooge thought and felt about charity and giving.
The tell tale heart made me feel on the edge of my seat the whole time. I felt this wash because how suspenseful the story became as it progressed. My feelings were all over the place as the story continued. At first I felt nervous then anxious.
