A Christmas Carol

"A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. Pages 33-46.

After Scrooge stopped his work, went to restaurant and ate his dinner. He used the time reading all his newpapers and checking his bankbooks And when all the papers had been read and all the bankbooks checked, Scrooge went home to bed. He lived in the apartment with his partner, Jacob Marley. The front courtyard was dark in the frog and Scrooge entered the gate and walked to the door. By the time he inserted the key in the lock, he saw him from the door...no....it was the face of Jacob Marley. He was scared and get in to the room. When Scrooge stood there, the strange vision became a knocker again. At midnight, he sat on the chair near the fireplace. Suddenly, he listened some noise from the door. And he saw a ghost of his partner. He had a chain around his waist, the strange chain it was made of cash boxes, keys, padlocks, ledger books, and heavy steel purses.

Opinion: The ghost of his partner has a chain around his waist. But i don't understand a little. May be these burdens are causes to affect he died. And i want to know more the ghost of his partner how to change the Scrooge'attitude and don't be stubborn anymore!

How would you feel if you saw a ghost? Would you talk to it, or run away? Do you believe in ghosts?
