Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth, where his father was a clerk in the navy pay offices. His family was very poor and his father was put in prison for debt. Young Dickens was sent to work in 1823 to a blacking warehouse to support his family. Dickens' poor upbringing made him very sensitive to the plight of the poor in society when he was older. Most of the books that Dickens wrote dealt with the issue of poverty; his main aim was to send the message through society that the poor needed charity and generosity. He wrote 'A Christmas Carol' to point out the differences between the rich and the poor, and to encourage the rich to share their wealth and help the poor, and the needy

Scrooge answers ba humbug and are they no prisons are there no workhouses. and his nefuw asks if he wanted to come around for chirstmas dinner he says no. he also wants bob crahit to work on christmas day but bob presuades him to let to have the day of but scrooge says theres no point you should be off for one day of the year for a holiday.
