This is in stave five when Scrooge has made an oath to The Ghost Of Christmas Yet To Come to change his ways and keep Christmas.
Scrooges tone is softened when he calls on the boy and asks what day it is and then when asking him to seek out the poulterer he uses the phrase "Hallo, my fine fellow", something the old Scrooge would not have said. Then in reference to the turkey he wants Scrooges says ""An intelligent boy!" said Scrooge. "A remarkable boy! Do you know whether they've sold the prize Turkey that was hanging up there?-Not the little prize Turkey: the big one?"
"What, the one as big as me?" returned the boy.
"What a delightful boy!" said Scrooge. "It's a pleasure to talk to him. Yes, my buck!"
This is all in a friendly welcoming and complimentary tone at the end of which Scrooge offers up the phase, "I am in earnest. Go and buy it, and tell 'em to bring it here, that I may give them the direction where to take it. Come back with the man, and I'll give you a shilling. Come back with him in less than five minutes and I'll give you half-a-crown!"
All of these show a much different Scrooge than we see in Stave one and show a remarkable change
Scrooge's approach to people changes when he interacts with the boy outside his window by showing kindness and concern for his well-being, in contrast to his previous uncaring and harsh demeanor. He gives the boy money, asks about his family, and tells him to return the next day for more help, demonstrating his newfound generosity and compassion. This transformation in his behavior highlights his growth and redemption as a character.
Scrooge thought the clock was broken, but it was actually just past the hour.
Scrooge thought he saw a locomotive hearse going on before him in the gloom.
No- it was outside a burger place. Then she hears Edward's voice and sees a guy she thought she saw before, and thatz why she approached them! :) hehehe
This is also known as thinking outside the box, exposing a unique perspective that was not previously thought of. For example how Google was born.
He cstates he'll retire to Bedlum
He thought he would see himself sitting in his usual spot. But as we learn Scrooge had past away the night before
Symbolic interaction
Instrumental approach has contingencies, always making sure that every one is ok in the out come. Manipulative approach is based on conforming all thought to one single notion. Usually forced or harped on until its every persons thought.
No, Excedrine is aspirin and caffeine and neither is thought to cause an interaction with hormonal BC.
Being a mean hardened person who thought little of those around him.
Scrooge said,"Oh, humbug!" when he thought what he was seeing was just a figment of his imagination.
Scrooge told the two visitors that he was too busy to engage with them and that he did not believe in their supernatural nature. He dismissed them rudely and did not want to listen to what they had to say.
