In this activity, you will analyze theme, characterization, and Dickens’s use of dramatic irony in chapter 1 of A Christmas Carol.

Part A
Themes are key ideas that stand out or are repeated in a text. Identify and explain one important theme that you noticed in chapter 1. Include evidence from the text to support your response.

Part B
What do the following lines reveal about Ebenezer Scrooge’s character?

“Under the impression that they scarcely furnish Christian cheer of mind or body to the multitude,” returned the gentleman, “a few of us are endeavouring to raise a fund to buy the Poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth. We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices. What shall I put you down for?”

“Nothing!” Scrooge replied.

“You wish to be anonymous?”

“I wish to be left alone,” said Scrooge. “Since you ask me what I wish, gentlemen, that is my answer. I don’t make merry myself at Christmas and I can’t afford to make idle people merry. I help to support the establishments I have mentioned—they cost enough; and those who are badly off must go there.”

“Many can’t go there; and many would rather die.”

“If they would rather die,” said Scrooge, “they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”


Part C
Writers create dramatic irony by telling the reader about an important event in the plot that the characters aren’t aware of. This technique helps writers create effects such as suspense and humor. Identify one example of dramatic irony from chapter 1 of A Christmas Carol and explain why it fits the description of this technique.

Answer:

Part A: Coldness (Metaphorically) In the beginning of the book, Scrooge is not only cold- but it is also winter.

Part B: Scrooge is a distant/grumpy/miser character who dislikes most things. At the end of the novella, he becomes somewhat kindhearted.

Part C: At the beginning, Dickens makes readers aware that Scrooge will have a conversation with the ghost of his dead partner, Jacob Marley. Readers know this from the title of chapter 1, “Marley’s Ghost.” When Marley’s ghost appears, Scrooge thinks his mind is playing tricks on him. He is a stubborn, practical businessman who doesn’t believe in ghosts. When Scrooge realizes that Marley’s ghost is real, he panics and behaves very unlike his usual self.

Explanation:

Hopefully this helps ! <3

One important theme that is evident in chapter 1 of A Christmas Carol is the theme of greed and selfishness. The main character, Ebenezer Scrooge, is portrayed as a miserly and selfish person who cares only about his own wealth and is indifferent to the suffering of others. This is illustrated through his conversation with his nephew.

A. The theme of "A Christmas Carol" in chapter 1 is primarily focused on the negative effects of greed and selfishness. The main character, Ebenezer Scrooge, is portrayed as a cold-hearted and miserly person who values money above all else and has no compassion for others

B. The lines reveal that Ebenezer Scrooge is a cold-hearted and selfish person who has no concern for the welfare of others. He is dismissive of the idea of helping the poor, and refuses to contribute to the fund that is being raised for them.

C. One example of dramatic irony from chapter 1 of A Christmas Carol is when Scrooge's nephew enters his office and wishes him a Merry Christmas, to which Scrooge responds with his usual disdain for the holiday, calling it a "humbug."

However, the reader knows that Scrooge will soon be visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, and will be taken on a journey through time to witness the consequences of his selfishness and greed.

The First "Newspaper" War
The Crimean War was fought in the 1850s between Russia on one side and Britain, France, and Turkey on the other. Although it was a major conflict, it is perhaps best remembered as the first war in which journalists were present on the battlefield. News dispatches from William Howard Russell, a reporter for the Times of London, exposed military blunders and revealed the filthy conditions that existed in military hospitals and camps. Photographers such as James Robertson and Roger Fenton made hundreds of photographs of soldiers on the battlefield. These news reports and photographs provided an uncensored look at life on the frontlines. The Crimean War marked the first time in history that people back home were exposed to the horrors of war.

What is the main idea of the passage?

The Crimean War was the first to be the war to be documented for civilians,

The Crimean War was fought between the Russians and the British, French, and Turkish.

Read "Evening" by Paul Laurence Dunbar.


"Evening"


The moon begins her stately ride

Across the summer sky;

The happy wavelets lash the shore,—

The tide is rising high.


Beneath some friendly blade of grass

The lazy beetle cowers;

The coffers of the air are filled

With offerings from the flowers.


And slowly buzzing o'er my head

A swallow wings her flight;

I hear the weary plowman sing

As falls the restful night.

A Flag with 50 Stars

The first American flag to have red and white stripes and white stars on a blue field was flown in 1776, shortly after the United States declared its independence from Great Britain. Legend has it that a Philadelphia seamstress named Betsy Ross was hired by George Washington himself to create this flag. There is no evidence that this legend is true, and no one knows for certain who made the first flag, which had 13 stars and 13 stripes. However, we know for a fact that the first flag to have 50 stars—the one we have today—was designed by a high school student.

In 1958, Bob Heft was a 17-year-old student at Lancaster High School in Ohio. At that time, the United States had only 48 states but was on the verge of accepting two more: Alaska and Hawaii. The U.S. flag at the time had six neat rows of eight stars each. What would be the best way to add two more stars while keeping the arrangement neat and orderly? This was the question that Bob’s history teacher posed to the class.

The teacher gave the students an assignment: design a flag with 50 stars. Bob spent hours in the attic of his house, cutting up a 48-star flag and rearranging the stars until they fit just right. He was pleased with his solution to the problem, but his teacher found it less than perfect and gave him a B minus. Outraged, Bob told his teacher that he was going to send his design to his member of Congress, Walter Moeller. His teacher replied that if Bob’s design was accepted as the new flag, he would be more than happy to change his grade to an A.

A year later, Bob had graduated and was working as a draftsman when he received a call at work. He never would have imagined a call from President Eisenhower—but that's who it was! Now that Alaska and Hawaii had been admitted as states, Congressman Moeller had succeeded in having Bob's design chosen as the new U.S. flag. Bob Heft was invited to Washington, D.C., for a ceremony during which his design was officially adopted as the new flag of the United States.

Part A

He has important connections to government officials.

Question 2

“He was pleased with his solution to the problem, but his teacher found it less than perfect and gave him a B minus.”

“Now that Alaska and Hawaii had been admitted as states, Congressman Moeller had succeeded in having Bob's design chosen as the new U.S. flag.”
