What are some syntax sentences in A Christmas Carol?

Answer 1

A "scrooge" is a nickname for somebody who is a "party pooper" during Christmas time, or basically, somebody who looks at Christmas as a time for frivolous money spending and snooty kids, and doesn't enjoy any aspect of it.

So:

"Don't be such a scrooge. Christmastime is supposed to be about your friends and family, not your bank account."

Answer 2

1. "God bless us, every one!" said Tiny Tim.
2. "I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year,” Scrooge promised.
3. "I wear the chain I forged in life," replied the Ghost of Jacob Marley.
4. "There is nothing on which it is so hard as poverty," said the Ghost of Christmas Present.

Answer 3

Dickens aptly describes Ebenezer as "Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin. He carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dog-days; and didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas

Answer 4

External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty. Foul weather didn't know where to have him. The heaviest rain, and snow, and hail, and sleet, could boast of the advantage over him in only one respect. They often came down handsomely, and Scrooge never did.
