If the experience doesn't change Scrooge's ways, he will end up walking the Earth forever being nothing but an invisible and lonely ghost, like his deceased friend Jacob Marley. Mr. Scrooge is a financier/moneychanger who has devoted his life to the accumulation of wealth. He holds anything other than money in contempt, including friendship, love, and the Christmas season. 3097440 book 1843 A Christmas Carol total:20420|5:6813|4:7195|3:5154|2:1047|1:211| 20420 80612 24334 1131 5 8 false false Tue Dec 23 07:04:54 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 04 17:45:06 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 23 07:04:54 -0800 2008
