Heroism, Humanism & Hijinks: Literature in Action - Week 15, Period 5 (Final)

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

The class was in the Danger Shop today for their final piece of assessment.

"Good afternoon. Inside you'll find Dickensian London. Namely, the London of A Christmas Carol. Something, however, had gone wrong. Despite being visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, Ebenezer Scrooge has not discovered the true meaning of Christmas and thus has not gone to Christmas dinner with the Cratchett family. Fix it."

[OOC: Thank you all for a wonderful semester and for hanging on with me while I tested the waters with Lit. You've been a great class. Hope to see you back next semester for a more organised Lit class!]

Despite knowing that if three ghosts couldn't convince a guy to spend his christmas with his family, Cameron stilled decided to try and talk Scrooge into going. The conversation covered all the joys Cameron could think of from great food, presents, the smell of christmas trees and even singing carols. Scrooge sadly enough didn't agree.

Which lead to phase 2 of Cameron's action plan; badgering. He was pretty good at it as he followed Scrooge around and kept asking him why he wasn't going. Which strangely enough seemed to annoy Scrooge even more.

Phase 3 actually resembled phase 2 a lot as Cameron decided to tell every Christmas story he could think of in the hopes that Scrooge would get it.

In the end Scrooge caved. Whether he actually got the true meaning or he just wanted to shut Cameron up remained a mystery, though.
