  1. Today, the name “Scrooge” has come to be synonymous with greed. Based on the information in the first chapter, does Scrooge seem happy with all his wealth? Overall, do you believe money buys happiness? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and other literature, art, or history in your answer.
For the 2nd question, start a shared Google doc at your group's table and compose the response as a group; share it with me for us to review in whole group. Highlight "moves" you made to create a well-rounded response:
  1. Marley’s ghost tells Scrooge, “I am here to-night to warn you, that you have yet a chance and hope of escaping my fate.” Do you believe it is possible for a person to change their identity? Why or why not? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and other literature, art, or history in your answer.

Complete the assessment questions from yesterday's reading of A Christmas Carol Stave 1.
