What does foreshadowing mean?
kirill [66]
Foreshadowing means to give hints of the future. Like in "A Tale of two cities" by Charles Dickens, a man writes "Blood" on the wall, that word represents that there's probably a war coming.

How does Charles Dickens convey the importance of Christmas and Tradition in the Christmas carol?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Charle's Dickens conveyed the importance of Christmas and Tradition in <em>"A Christmas Carol"</em> by showing that Christmas is all about <em>"giving rather than receiving."</em> Instead of spending time at work and being grumpy like Scrooge on Christmas Eve,<em> spending time with family is more important.</em> It also teaches people a lesson that <em>you cannot bring your wealth when you die</em>, thus,<u> it is more important to share your wealth for the common good and the happiness of others.</u>

Explanation:

"A Christmas Carol" is a story written by Charles Dickens, which was published in <em>1843.</em> It centers on the character of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miser who was visited by the <em>Three Ghosts of Christmas.</em> These ghosts were meant to teach him a lesson and to show him that<em> family is more important than wealth, especially during Christmas Day.</em> After these events, Scrooge miraculously changed into a reformed person.
