7. Ex. What changes in Scrooge are evident in the way Scrooge addresses the last spirit?
Scrooge’s changes are predictable because he acts differently. For the first time in the story, he is not arrogant, but pleading. He tells the Spirit, “’Good Spirit,’ he pursued, as down upon the ground he fell before it: ‘Your nature intercedes for me, and pities me…’” He not only begs for help, but actually lays his body down to show his sincerity.
