Humbug!&#8221; mean?<\/li>\n<li>How are Scrooge and his nephew&#8217;s views about Christmas different?<\/li>\n<li>What does Scrooge value most in life? \u00a0What does Fred value most in life?<\/li>\n<li>How does Scrooge deal with the gentleman visitor that visits the office? \u00a0What does this say about how Scrooge feels about the poor?<\/li>\n<li>Why does Marley visit Scrooge?<\/li>\n<li>When Marley disappears at the end of the scene, how does Scrooge react? \u00a0How does this differ from how he normally acts?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I am very proud of the actors and actress in my class and I am enjoying reading this play with each student. \u00a0I look forward to continuing the play tomorrow. \u00a0I hope everyone has a great night!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
