The government were only interested in the upper class which meant that the lower class were left to struggle. Also more immigrants moved into London with no money, again increasing the poverty as they could not find a place to live. ]]> 2016-10-31 11:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/melhook/6ext104458nf/wish/134179139 Iyanu https://padlet.com/melhook/6ext104458nf/wish/134179334 The spirit of Christmas Present take Scrooge into the city streets,mired with mud and sooty snow and the same scene is evoked

The theme ofA Christmas Carol is not simply Christmas feasting; it is a story of conversion, of release from the imprisoning chains of grasping covetousness worn by Marley's Ghost into the freedom of compassion and generosity. The smog-filled streets of the city in which Scrooge sees the ghosts of avaricious, selfish and grasping contemporaries ('some few [they might be guilty governments] were linked together'), are suffused on Christmas Day with the light of heaven https://padlet.com/melhook/6ext104458nf/wish/134181460 2016-10-31 11:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/melhook/6ext104458nf/wish/134181460 Mrs Hook Your task  melhook https://padlet.com/melhook/6ext104458nf/wish/134182183 •A timeline of Dickens’ life and works.
