1) 1st person narrator - allows the reader to engage with the protagonist emotionally
2) 2nd person narration - creates the illusion that the narrative is a conversation with the reader
3) A teenage tone and style - sounds like a young school kid
4) rhetorical questions create the illusion of a conversation

Referring to the Chat Notes above, explain what you think the particular narrative challenges were for Dickens in the opening pages of A Christmas Carol, and what techniques he used to overcome them.
