Question

In A Christmas Carol Scrooge asked himself, " Was it a dream or not?" Does he think it is or isn't? Explain you answer and cite at least one example from the text to support your answer

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Answer 1

Yes, he thought he was dreaming when he saw his partner's ghost: "Marley" who was punished to wander the earth for his selfishness and greed; to save Scrooge, Marley informed him that he would be visisted by three ghosts. Scrooge fell in a deep dream. For that reason believed, it just was a dream.

The cite:

"Every time he resolved within himself, after mature inquiry, that it was all a dream"

Answer 2

At first, Ebenezer Scrooge thought that the reason why Marley's ghost had appeared was indigestion. The ghost spoke to Ebenezer and so Scrooge thought that another reason for this ghost to be there was the friendship these two men once had.

Ebenezer Scrooge kept trying to rationalize what had happened, and the more he tried to put his thoughts to rest the more he kept thinking about it.

Scrooge was trying really hard to give a reasonable and believable explanation to Marley's ghost appearance.
