"A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. Pages 47-58.
The Jacob Marley's ghost who had a chain around his waist, the strange chain it was made of cash boxes, keys, padlocks, ledger books, and heavy steel purses. He sat on the chair and talked with Ebenezer Scrooge. The ghost wanted to share the unhappiness that he might able to turn to happiness when he was alive. And Scrooge asked 'Why are you chained?' 'It is a chain by myself, made during my life,' said the ghost. 'When at christmas, i never walked among them when i was alive. I never left our office when i was alive. So i regret my selfishness, there is no way for me to make change.' said Marley's ghost. He is here tonight to warn you, Ebenezer that you still have a chance to change your behaviour, also you will be haunted by three spirits. You will meet the first spirit tomorrow night at one o'clock. The second spirit will meet on the fol-lowing night, at the same time. And the third will come at twelve o'clock on the next night. Finally the ghost floats through the window and Scrooge tries to figure out the time.
Opinion: The ghost tells a lot about his history when he was alive. And i am interest to know more how the three ghosts change his behaviour, and i think the three different ghosts will catch him to see somethingto change the Scrooge'attitude. And this story tells about christmas, so the three ghosts will catch him to see some christmas events.

Remember to summarize the story in your OWN words, not by quoting the book!
Do you believe that we will be punished after we die for the bad things we did during our lives?
