Thesis Statement and Introduction

Have you ever seen the screenplay "A Christmas Carol"? Well I have. Do you know you wrote it? Charles Dickens wrote it in December 1843. He said,"I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it." Charles Dickens was born Charles John Huffman Dickens. He was born on February 7, 1812 in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. That is where the Dickens Birthplace Museum resides. His parents were Elizabeth née Barrow she lived from 1789-1863 and John Dickens who lived from 1785-1851. He was a writer of many sorts. He wrote screenplays and books. He is well know and still an inspiration.
