Chapter XIX: Stave III

What is told in this chapter? The visit of the
second spirit.

Who was it? The "Spirit of Christmas Present".

What does it show Scrooge? Scenes of Christmas
shopping; Christmas out-of-doors; the Grocers;
Bob Cratchit's family, the goose, their
dinner, the puddings; the miner's home; the
lighthouse keepers; the sailors; Scrooge's
nephew at home--blindman's bluff, forfeits, Yes
and No; vision of "Ignorance" and "Want".

What do all these scenes go to show? How
different kinds of people keep Christmas; how
kind and merry most people are at this season
of the year: and how some have to struggle in
order to get this one day's pleasure.

Select some examples of humour. Peter's
conceit, some of the descriptions of the
grocery stores, the anticipations lest harm
befall the goose and the pudding.

Select any examples of pathos. The references
to Tiny Tim.

Select and read the best descriptions. The
grocery stores, the fruit stores, the goose,
the pudding.
