Main Characters of The Christmas Carol and the Old Man and the Sea

Character Question:

In what ways are the Main characters of The Christmas Carol and the Old Man and the Sea different?

A major difference between Scrooge and Santiago would be that Scrooge is a businessman and Santiago is a fisherman each having different jobs.

Scrooge before changing had a cruel heart, was ugly, and was solitary. On the other hand, Santiago is kind, noble, brave, and has a good heart.

Scrooge is rich, but as we know Santiago is poor.
Even though Scrooge is rich he has a cruel heart ( Before Changing ) but Santiago on the other hand, is poor, but has a wonderful heart.

Don't you think so also???

Hey chan,
I agree with you about Santiago and Scrooge. I have never thought about that before. There is one similarity that i have observed between them. they are both trying to acheive something throughout the book. Santiago is trying to catch the fish, and SCrooge is trying to change. What do you think? another similarity is that both their names start with "s"! heehee.

Yeah Anna, I know really.

I also think that they have that similarity, and that they have major differences. I wonder what you will think about the minor differences. Oh well, I will visit yours.
