The Christmas Carol
The ghost from the christmas past had white hair but he had young skin. His arms were very long and muscular. The strangest thing about him was the crown was on his head.There was a bright, clear jet of light,by which all this was visible and which was doubtless the occasion.
The ghost had white hair but no wrinkles on his face. It was as if he had a child’s face but a elderly’s hair. It’s arms were muscular, as well his hands too. The ghost legs and feet mainly delicately formed, were bare. He was wearing a tunic of white, and around its waist was a lustrous belt. The ghost was holding a branch of fresh green holly in his hand, its dress trimmed with summer flowers. The strangest thing about the ghost was that from the crown there sprung the bright and clear jet of light, which was visible. Great extinguisher for a cap it held under its arm.
A Christmas Carol
The description and contradictions of the ghost of the past is that Its hair which, as if with age, and yet the face had not a wrinkle on it, and the tenderest bloom was on the skin. The arms were very strong and long;the hands the same, as if its hold were of uncommon strength.It held a branch of fresh,green holly in its hand and, in singular contradiction to that wintry emblem. The voice was soft and gentle. Singularly low, as if instead of being so close beside him, it were at a distance. But the strangest thing about it was that from the crown of its head there sprung a light by which it was visible.
The past ghost is very strange. One of the strange things are it has a fiery head when it is surprised. It went to scrooge to help him so that he wouldn’t get so many chains.
In Stave 2 of A Christmas Carol, The Ghost of Christmas Past who is quite strange, haunts Scrooge, in hopes of changing his ways. It wears a white robe with a glossy belt. The belt also sparkles and glitters at times. It has a face which is young, with no wrinkles, but it has gray hair, not unlike an old man. This makes the ghost stranger because we don’t have any idea of how old it is. Its arms and hands are powerful and muscular, but its legs and feet are somewhat scrawny and short. This makes the ghost stranger because we don’t know if it’s strong or weak, therefore, we have no idea how strong it is which makes it spooky because It also had a limb of fresh holly in its hands, but it had summer flowers on its tunic. This makes the ghost seem stranger because fresh holly usually represents winter, but summer flowers are in, well… summer. Its voice is described as soft and gentle, but so low that it sounds like he is talking at a distance. This makes the ghost strange because we don’t know where it is because the voice always sounds the same at any distance. But the strangest thing about it is that it has a blazing light on the crown of its head, which is reminiscent of a candle flame, but he has a snuff in his hands, as if he can put it out at any time. This makes the ghost strange because if he puts out the flame, will he die, or will he just not be affected at all? All in all, The Ghost of Christmas Past is one of the strangest ghosts I have ever read, seen, or ever heard about.
