In this activity, you will analyze theme, characterization, and Dickens’s use of dramatic irony in chapter 1 of A Christmas Carol.
Part A
Themes are key ideas that stand out or are repeated in a text. Identify and explain one important theme that you noticed in chapter 1. Include evidence from the text to support your response.
Part B
What do the following lines reveal about Ebenezer Scrooge’s character?
“Under the impression that they scarcely furnish Christian cheer of mind or body to the multitude,” returned the gentleman, “a few of us are endeavouring to raise a fund to buy the Poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth. We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices. What shall I put you down for?”
“Nothing!” Scrooge replied.
“You wish to be anonymous?”
“I wish to be left alone,” said Scrooge. “Since you ask me what I wish, gentlemen, that is my answer. I don’t make merry myself at Christmas and I can’t afford to make idle people merry. I help to support the establishments I have mentioned—they cost enough; and those who are badly off must go there.”
“Many can’t go there; and many would rather die.”
“If they would rather die,” said Scrooge, “they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”
Part C
Writers create dramatic irony by telling the reader about an important event in the plot that the characters aren’t aware of. This technique helps writers create effects such as suspense and humor. Identify one example of dramatic irony from chapter 1 of A Christmas Carol and explain why it fits the description of this technique.
Answer:
Part A: Coldness (Metaphorically) In the beginning of the book, Scrooge is not only cold- but it is also winter.
Part B: Scrooge is a distant/grumpy/miser character who dislikes most things. At the end of the novella, he becomes somewhat kindhearted.
Part C: At the beginning, Dickens makes readers aware that Scrooge will have a conversation with the ghost of his dead partner, Jacob Marley. Readers know this from the title of chapter 1, “Marley’s Ghost.” When Marley’s ghost appears, Scrooge thinks his mind is playing tricks on him. He is a stubborn, practical businessman who doesn’t believe in ghosts. When Scrooge realizes that Marley’s ghost is real, he panics and behaves very unlike his usual self.

Video games are great for your brain! They have been proven to increase manual dexterity, gray matter (in your brain), and help with social skills even! “In a study involving a group of surgeons, researchers found that those who played video games were faster at performing advanced procedures and made 37 percent fewer mistakes than those who didn’t.”. Gray matter is associated with muscle control, memories, perception, and spatial navigation. It has been found that playing video games regularly may increase gray matter in the brain and boost brain connectivity. The stereotype that people play video games is false. “Past research involving children found that those who played more video games were more likely to have good social skills, perform better academically, and to have built better relationships with other students because of the social and collaborative component to some types of games.” This happens because you can usually talk to a character, if you say something mean or threatening, there will be consequences. Unfortunately, video’s do have downsides as well.

Read the excerpt from "The Debt” by Paul Laurence Dunbar.
Pay it I will to the end —
Until the grave, my friend,
Gives me a true release —
Gives me the clasp of peace.
Which part of poetic form best illustrates the theme that death will bring relief from the debt?
meter
repetition
stanza type
punctuation
Answer:
Stanza Type
Explanation:
In the given excerpt from "The Debt" by Paul Laurence Dunbar, the aspect of poetic form that best illustrates the theme that death will bring relief from the debt is stanza type.
Stanza type refers to the structure and organization of the poem's lines and their grouping into stanzas. In this case, the lines are organized into four-line stanzas. The repetition of this stanza type throughout the poem creates a sense of regularity and reinforces the theme.
The repetition of the four-line stanzas emphasizes the consistent and unrelenting nature of the speaker's commitment to paying the debt "to the end." However, the repeated structure also suggests a certain longing for release and peace, which is expressed through the final lines of each stanza, such as "Gives me the clasp of peace." This repetition and consistent structure of the stanzas contribute to the overall thematic message that death will ultimately bring relief from the burden of the debt.
