A Christmas Carol Day 2

Check-in plot diagrams. Keep them because you will be adding to them.

QW: Fred entered his Uncle Scrooge’s counting-house on Christmas Eve and cried in a cheerful voice

“A merry Christmas, uncle! God save you!” Scrooge’s less cheery greeting was “Bah! Humbug!”

Explain why Scrooge’s exact words, and not his nephew’s, have grown over the years into a well-remembered phrase?

Do we tend to think of that phrase as something associated only with Christmas, or have we put it to use for other circumstances? What exactly do you think a humbug was (or is)?

What is a current phrase that you believe to have the

same meaning as “Bah! Humbug!” Do we use this phrase just during holidays, or are there other times? Give examples.
