A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Dickens began to write A Christmas Carol in September 1843, and completed the book in six weeks with the final pages written in the beginning of December in time to be published for Christmas with illustrations by John Leech .
He set the price at 5 shillings so that everyone could afford it. This combination resulted in disappointingly low profits despite high sales. In the first few days of its release the book sold six thousand copies and its popularity continued to grow . The first and best of his Christmas Books , A Christmas Carol has become a Christmas tradition and easily Dickens' best known book.
PLOT SUMMARY
Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserly old man who believes that Christmas is just an excuse for people to miss work and for idle people to expect handouts. He doesn't believe in all of the good cheer and charity that the season promotes, and he makes sure everyone knows it.
That night, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business associate, Jacob Marley -- a man who was as greedy and cold as Scrooge is. Marley warns Scrooge that if he continues to live so selfishly, he will spend eternity wearing the chains that his greed has built .
Three ghosts visit Scrooge successively: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present , and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come . They show Scrooge his error in valuing money over people. Scrooge is frightened by the bleak picture of his life and promises to change his ways .
Scrooge awakes on Christmas morning a new man. He becomes jolly and charitable, and truly turns into the man he promised the ghosts he would become. He carries the spirit of Christmas with him all the year round.

Both Byron's life and writings have been considered in different ways to exemplify the type. The Byronic hero first appears in Byron's semi autobiographical epic narrative poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage Many of Byron's characters are a similar specific type of the Romantic hero: An idealised but flawed character with great talent and passion, a distaste for society, disrispect towards rank and privilege, arrogance, overconfidence, selfdistructiveness. Is rebellious, exiled.

Rudyard Kipling

"If--". In a 1995 BBC opinion poll, it was voted the UK's favourite poem. This exhortation to self- control and stoicism is arguably Kipling's most famous poem. Many have wondered why he was never made Poet Laureate. (A poet laureate is a poet officially appointed by a government and is often expected to compose poems for State occasions and other government events. In the United Kingdom the term has for centuries been the title of the official poet of the monarch, since the time of Charles II )Some claim that he was offered the post during the interregnum of 1892-96 and turned it down. At the beginning of World War I, like many other writers, Kipling wrote pamphlets which enthusiastically supported the UK's war aims. Death and legacy Kipling kept writing until the early 1930s, but at a slower pace and with much less success than before. He died of a perforated duodenal ulcer ( perforeeritud kaksteistsõrmiksoole haavand ) on 18 January

THE FAMILY Marriage changes over the centuries constantly, surprisingly and swiftly. It cannot be defined as a sacred union between a man and a woman, as marriages have not always been considered sacred. Marriage has often been seen as a union between one man and several women. And sometimes marriage has been seen as a union between one woman and several men, as in southern India, for example, one bride may be shared by several brothers. Marriage has also, at times, been recognized as a union between two men (as in ancient Rome, where marriages between aristocratic males were recognized by law), or as a union between two siblings (as in medieval Europe, when valuable property was at stake); or as a union between two children (again in Europe, when parents wanted to protect their property); or as a union between two unborn (ditto); or as a union between two people of the same social class (once more in Europe, where medieval peasan
