What happened in the book you read today?  What characters have you met so far?

In my reading today, Scrooge’s nephew invited him to Christmas dinner. While his nephew fantasized the idea of the holiday, Scrooge seemed to focus on the negative side of the situation. He pointed out what is lost during the holiday. As Scrooge went on about how there is no reason for celebrating, his nephew spoke of the joys gifts Christmas brings to others.

Find a quote that stands out to you and explain why you chose it.

“What is Christmas to you but a time for paying bills without money; a time for finding yourself another year older, and not an hour richer; a time for balancing books.” This

quote is interesting to me, because Scrooge takes such a pessimistic view on a holiday meant for celebrating. I am excited to continue reading the original ‘A Christmas Carol.’

Jonathan Harker is in Budapest on an important mission to visit Count Dracula. While he is there he is warned of Saint George's Day where all evil is loose worldwide to do whatever it wishes. Once more people start to find why Harker is here, their behavior towards him becomes odd. He is taken a certain distance by the people and is then picked up by Dracula's helper and the both of them head to his castle. He began with confidence, but as the people warned him and talked of what he was doing there, he began to get the creeps and it only got worse as he got further and further to his destination.

Dracula has told a friend of his, Johnathan Harker, to come to his castle. Harker stayed at the Golden Krone Hotel  where the innkeeper gave him a cross necklace because it was May 4th, a day where all evil is freed. He accepts the necklace and goes on with his journey. He takes a carriage to the castle and on the way the road is dark and shadows creep up on Harker. So far the only main characters in this novel are Jonathan Harker and Count Dracula.

The story is taking place on a ship called the Archangel. Robert Walton is Isolated on a boat called the Archangel and is sailing north from London, England. The boat seems to be a dark place where there is not a lot of action.  Robert writes to his sister all of the time, so that tells me that he is very lonely on the boat. Robert has no friends. He only has acquaintances that do their jobs on the ship.

They are on the sea north of england, and they are very isolated and it is cold and bleak. There is ice floating all around them where they are sailing and I haven't even heard of the sun so far.

What is a belief that your main character displays through their speech and actions? Are there Gothic Characteristics displayed by  that character?

Scrooge believes that celebration of Christmas time, thankfulness, or any situation where love is manifested is overrated and unnecessary. This is proven to the reader through Scrooge’s words and actions. Yes, there are Gothic characteristics displayed through Scrooge. For example, the character usually keeps himself separated and isolated, emotionally and physically, from the society he lives in and the world in general.  Scrooge’s dark and gloomy appearance, bad attitude, as well as his constant grim perspectives are all fundamental to his gothic character.

What gives the novel's characters strength? What weakens the novel's characters?

The characters ship voyage was put to a halt when the ice enclosed on them and he could not move. While they were stopped they witnessed a man on a sleigh being pulled by dogs and they were very confused, but could do nothing about it because they were so far away so they all caught up on some sleep and hoped that the ice would be melted in the morning. Luckily enough it was, and they also found a man on the side of their ship. They brought him aboard because they noticed that his health and the condition of his body was not in great shape at all. So they brought him up and took care of him and made him healthy again. I think it’s great that they were able to help someone out although they were on a voyage and a had a mission of their own. R.W wasn’t even looking for help from the man to find land, he just simply wanted to help him out.

I think that it will be a well rounded book and i think it will be a great book to sit back and enjoy. This won't be to scary but it will have some loving in it and power. I feel that this will be very beautiful and it will be the best story i could pick. Also i feel that a christmas carol is going to be good because everybody loves christmas.

What happened in the book you read today?  What characters have you met so far?
I  met an elderly, cold and rude man named Scrooge, that is ungrateful for what his employers had done to make his business successful for many years. His nephew works for him and won't give any of his employers a Christmas break at all, because it will slow his business down. I also met a dear friend of Scrooge's, Marley, who was a businessman and his partner. He died, and Scrooge never forgot that moment and missed him very dearly. Now in the present time of 1867; Marley has appeared Scrooge, but what exactly is he going to tell Scrooge? Why did he appear to Scrooge in the first place?

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

What is a belief that your main character displays through their speech and actions? Are there Gothic Characteristics displayed by  that character?Ebenezer Scrooge displays harsh, and loneliness. Through his actions, the Gothic child is trying to help Scrooge reach moral reawakening by revealing his past, as well as all the truths that society brings today.
What gives the novel's characters strength? What weakens the novel's characters?Ebenezer Scrooge gets strength from the three Ghost that follows him around. When he sees Tiny Tim in Stave Three, he "was overcome with penitence and grief" as he hears the ghost repeat his comment about the poor being the "surplus population". Scrooge's weakness is, Scrooge had a bad past that he tried to forget that might have contributed to his cold nature. When he goes back and sees this past, it says he had an "unusual catching in his voice" showing that now Scrooge is remembering his childhood, he is feeling emotions again.
Find a quote that stands out to you and explain why you chose it."A solitary child, neglected by his friends, is left there still." This quote could suggest why Scrooge is the way he is now. He was neglected by society as a child so feels he can't join society now, as he's afraid of rejection. He cries when seeing this showing the feelings are still very raw to him.

Tell about where the story is taking place.  Are there Gothic characteristics?  Give as many details about the setting as possible. It is taking place in a town somewhere in Europe. It doesn’t say exactly where it is at but the descriptions of the surroundings sound like it is in a small rural town. Yes. They describe the house really well and describe Hyde as a man with a deformity.

Find a quote that stands out to you and explain why you chose it. “A certain sinister block of building thrust forward its gable onto the street. It was 2 stories high; showed no window, nothing but a door on the lower story and a blind forehead of discoloured wall on the upper; and bore in every feature, the marks of prolonged and sordid negligence.” This shows the gothic characteristics of describing the setting.

The story is taking place on a voyage north in the Archangel, Robert states that this is his most courageous quest yet. He is isolated and distant from those around him, he has men that are good at their job, but he has no one to call his friend. Not only is he physically alone from the world, as he is on a far voyage north, he is mentally alone, as he has no friend by his side.
Find a quote that stands out to you and explain why you chose it.Robert: Quote - “I greatly need a friend who would have sense enough not to despise me as romantic, and affection enough for me to endeavour to regulate my mind.” pg. 8
This quote demonstrates Robert’s vacancy in his mind, as he has a need for the regulation of his mind, Robert does a lot of thinking and sometimes he just needs a friend to talk to, and on this voyage north the men he is aboard the Archangel with aren’t talking men, they are sailors so mentally Robert and them are on different pages.

What happened in the book you read today?  What characters have you met so far?

I was introduced to characters and told a short story about how a “Mr. Hyde” trampled over a young girl and didn't care about it, and paid them to not make a big deal about it. He wrote a check and even went to the bank to prove that he could cash it out. I was introduced to Mr. Utterson, who according to page 1, was “the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary and yet somehow lovable”

In the preface of the book, Mr. Utterson is talking with “his distant kinsman, Mr. Richard Enfield”

Find a quote that stands out to you and explain why you chose it.

“...then came the horrible part of the thing; for the man trampled calmly over the child's body and left her screaming on the ground. It sounds nothing to hear, but it was hellish to see. It wasn't like a man; it was like some damned Juggernaut.” Here Mr. Enfield is describing something he saw, which was Mr. Hyde trampling a girl and not caring at all. This is vary abnormal for human behavior and that is why it did it to me in contrast to the other text read today.
