Compare And Contrast A Christmas Carol
A Christmas Carol is a play that takes place of a man who has lost the true meaning of Christmas. He calls Christmas a Bah-Humbug and says it is a waste of money.

The story A Christmas Carol I think that the author’s purpose was to say that a greedy and lonely life will end up to something
