ee spirits that visits Scrooge has the greatest effect on him?" Which of the following shows a proofread opening paragraph with a strong thesis statement and formal language?

The ghost of Christmas Past shows the life that he used to have and how Scrooge has screwed it up. The Ghost of Christmas Present shows him what he is missing and how he should change. Lastly, The Ghost of Christmas Future shows what will happen if he does not change. Together they all play a part in getting Scrooge to change.
B. In Charles Dickens's “A Christmas Carol” Scrooge is bugged by three spooky scary spirits, but it is the ghost of Christmas Future that does a real number on him. While the ghost of Christmas Past shows Scrooge how he has changed, and the Ghost of Christmas Presents shows him how he should check himself it is the ghost of Christmas Future that shows him why he needs to change. The ghost does this by showing Scrooge not just his own future but how he messes up the futures of those around him.

The ghost of Christmas Past shows the life that he used to have and how Scrooge has changed. The Ghost of Christmas Present shows him what he is missing and how he should change. Lastly, The Ghost of Christmas Future shows what will happen if he does not change. Together they all play a part in getting Scrooge to change.

What does John Proctor try to make himself believe in his conversation with<br> Elizabeth?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Hale tells Elizabeth that LIFE is God's most precious gift and nothing is worth throwing your life away. He says it may be that  a liar less than someone who gives up his life. She wants it to be his decision only. Elizabeth can't risk choosing for him if her choice is something he won't truly be able to live with forever. John feels that "his honesty is broke" because of his affair with Abigail, and therefore he is a sinner.

"Nothing is spoiled by giving them this lie that were not rotten long before" means John has already sinned, so he might as well keep sinning since he considers himself already ### and going to # down there . John clearly wants Elizabeth's opinion as to whether or not he should lie/confess. She doesn't tell him what to do because she wants John to make his own decision. It is HIS life and he has to live with his decision. John also wants her forgiveness, and she tells him that he needs to forgive himself. She does take on some of the blame, though

Throughout their conversation, it is clear that John wants what from Elizabeth? Why doesn't she give it to him?

John clearly wants Elizabeth's opinion as to whether or not he should lie/confess. She doesn't tell him what to do because she wants John to make his own decision. It is HIS life and he has to live with his decision. John also wants her forgiveness, and she tells him that he needs to forgive himself. She does take on some of the blame, though. She feels that her cold behavior prompted John to have an affair. She admits to keeping a cold house, not knowing how to "show" (express) her love, and counting (considering) herself so plain that no good love could come to her. (Because of her low self-esteem, it was hard for her to let him love her.)

He wants to live and be with his family.
