To keep your mind working over the holiday, I have a small extra credit task for you. This assignment is worth 10 points, an easy 10 points.
We watched the movie, A Christmas Carol. Your task is to connect the ideas we’ve learned and texts we’ve studied to Dicken’s famous work. Via comments to this site (remember not to use your own name) or in an e-mail to me, please answer the following questions:
What is the theme of A Christmas Carol?
How is Scrooge like Dante?
How is Marley’s ghost like the sinners in the Inferno?
List the archetypes you see in the story and connect them.
Additional observations and connections will be appreciated.
The response to each question should be no more than two-three carefully crafted, correct sentences.
