19、5 are based on the following passage. It is difficult, by sheer popularity and fame of the story, to read or listen to Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol without conjuring up images from one of the many preexisting dramatic productions of the tale. Unfortunately, we often focus on the popular dramati
20、zations of the story to the exclusion of the message that lies at its heart. The story is now a staple of the Western Christmas tradition, but many people dont fully understand why. A Christmas Carol is a very simple and straightforward presentation of the dangers associated with power and greed. Ho
21、wever, the story has a more fundamental (if somewhat clichd by todays standards) message: seize the day and take advantage of all that life has to offer. The reader is left with the notion that, within all of us, there exist qualities that can be improved to unknowable benefit, and it is our respons
22、ibility to make necessary improvements in order to realize those benefits. We see, in Ebenezer Scrooge, an individual almost entirely consumed by greed with little or no worries for the rest of humanity. He is, obviously, an extreme case with whom it is difficult to identify. His days are spent in c
23、oncentration over his money and how best to underuse it, and his life has been wasted on this cause. He squanders his days while those around him, such as his nephew and Bob Cratchit, attempt to live their lives and make them worthwhile. When Marley visits Scrooge in his bedroom, he explains what wi
24、ll soon happen and why and says, It is required of every man, that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellowmen, and travel far and wide. Marley never did this and is condemned to walk forever in chains after death. Scrooge, also, has never done this, and his visits with the three gh
25、osts are meant to awaken that inside of him which has been dead all his life. Scrooges journeys with the three ghosts are also meant to make the reader reexamine his or her own life. Scrooge, as well as the reader, also learns that in a self-absorbed existence based on the exclusion of others, we su
26、ccumb to ignorance. Ignorance of others and the world around us breeds contempt for that which we do not understand and creates an inescapable trap into which we inevitably fall. Scrooge did not understand this and ultimately fell victim to his own vices. We, as both readers and human beings, are to
27、 draw from Scrooges experiences his final lessons from the ghosts and not become victim to the same traps which befell him. 41. This passage is an example of what type of writing? A.
