“A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens is a timeless novella first published in 1843. It tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old man who despises Christmas and everything associated with it. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, and three spirits representing Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come.
Through these supernatural visits, Scrooge is shown the impact of his greed and cold-heartedness on himself and others. He witnesses scenes from his own life, the struggles of the Cratchit family (including the ailing Tiny Tim), and the bleak future that awaits him if he does not change his ways.
The story is a powerful exploration of redemption, compassion, and the true spirit of Christmas. By the end, Scrooge transforms into a kinder, more generous person, embodying the joy and warmth of the holiday season.

I am a software developer in Wichita, KS, and have my Master’s in Computer Science from the University of Kansas. I am divergent, as I have both a mathematical, computer-driven side, as well as a verbal, literature-driven side. I enjoy humor immensely, as well as history and, most of all, my faith in Jesus Christ is extremely important to me. “World of Shawn”, my first Young Adult novel, is my attempt to combine all of these into one story.
