Answer and Explanation:
Ebenezer Scrooge is the main character in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". Scrooge is a grumpy old man who hates Christmas. He is also greedy and cold-hearted. Scrooge is visited by three ghosts who show him his past, present, and future. Victim of a neglected childhood, if Scrooge does not change his way of treating others, he will end up dying alone.
How do you think Scrooge changed his life after these experiences with the ghosts?
I believe the ghosts helped Scrooge understand the reasons behind his grumpiness. He was neglected by his father as a child, so his aggressive behavior toward others is but a way of protecting himself and his feelings. He is just trying to keep suffering at bay. However justifiable his behavior is, it is keeping people away from Scrooge. He will end up dying alone after driving everyone, even his own family, away.
<u>Now that he is aware of that, Scrooge is likely to be kinder and more patient. Instead of being greedy, he will help others with his money. Instead of being grumpy, he will be joyful. I imagine Scrooge becomes the complete opposite of the person he was at the beginning of the story. He will greet others with a smile, wish them a happy Christmas, invite his family over for dinner, give away presents, etc. For the rest of his life, Scrooge will be surrounded by people.</u>
Answer:
The Hack Driver- Summary
The narrator of the story explains that after completing his graduation he started working with a famous law firm in the city. He was working as an assistant clerk there. He was not very happy with his job of serving summons because sometimes he had to face harsh situations while serving them. One day, he got the task of serving summons to Oliver Lutkins who was a key witness in some case. He lived in a small town named New Mullion.
The narrator was very excited to visit a small and beautiful town but his excitement ended by the dull appearance of the town. He saw a hack driver standing at the platform who was very cheerful and nice. He went up to him and enquired about Oliver Lutkins as he was new to the town and wanted to find him. The driver told him that Oliver was a nasty man who owed debt to many people. He also cunningly extracted information from the lawyer that he needed Lutkins for some court case.
A deal was cracked between both- he decided to hire Bill’s hack and go on a search for Lutkins. Bill somehow traps the lawyer in his story and they visit different places in search of Lutkins. He always asks the lawyer stay behind. They go to Fritz’s to catch Lutkins while playing poker. But he tells them that he has gone to Gustaff for a shave. At Gustaff’s they weren’t able to meet him and were told that someone saw him at the pool room. Here also somebody said that he left the poolroom after buying cigarettes.
Bill described Lutkins as a cunning man and guessed that he must have gone to gray’s for a shave. In the afternoon, Bill offered him to buy lunch from his wife as it would be less costly than at the restaurant. They had lunch at wade’s hill which was a very beautiful place. By that time the clerk was totally impressed by Bill’s nice and cheery nature. He had even started comparing village people to city people. Later on, they went to search for Lutkins at his mother’s house on the basis of information derived from one of his friends.
There the lady was horrible and they hurriedly left the place as she was about to attack them with a hot iron rod. At last, the lawyer had to leave without serving summons to Lutkins. Next day he was scolded badly by his chief and was again sent to New Mullion with a companion who knew Lutkins. Upon reaching the station, the clerk happily pointed out that Bill was such a helpful person to him search Lutkins.
At this time, the truth was revealed by his companion that the hack driver was none other than Lutkins himself. The clerk felt so bad and ashamed of how he had been fooled by a villager.
Explanation:
The sentence should be "The cake smells sweet." or "The cake is smelling sweet." The sentence is missing punctuation and capitalizing the beginning letter in the sentence. I would also prefer the first sentence as it has more consistency.
