in the story "a christmas carol", where is teh story set? and siTe the local colors in the story?

Answer 1

It's set slightly before the mid-1800s, most likely in the Victorian era (the book was written in 1843 and you can assume the story took place slightly before that year, but not too much before & Victoria's reign began in 1837).

The story is set in London.

If you truly mean color: local colors are white (snow as it's falling), gray and black (snow and smog of London). There is a bleakness surrounding the story, except when you see Cratchit's home and Scrooge's nephew's home at Christmas. Then there is great cheer and color galore.

If you mean the literary definition of local color, then the answer is somewhat different. That definition is "Regionalism, or local-color fiction, was a perspective of literature that gained popularity in the United States after the Civil War. Local-color writers depicted nearly every region of the United States, leading realism to their stories by describing customs,manners and re-creating dialects." That's from Wikipedia.

The Region would be the bleak business district of London, a poor street (where the Cratchits live), a slightly wealthier street (where Fred lives), an area of warehouses and empty (at night) businesses (where Scrooge lives), a dirty street where every kind of evil is done (Old Joe's rag and bone shop), a poor school (where Scrooge went as a boy), a rather nice store (where Scrooge was apprenticed). You "hear" the London cockney accent as well as the polished accents of the businessmen and those with a better education. Dickens pretty much gives you the full range of the local character (color) to be found in the London of his day.

Does this help?

Answer 2

Except for the flashbacks in the "Christmas Past" episode, it's set in London. Camden Town, where Bob Cratchitt lives, is evidently near enough to Scrooge's office that Bob can run all the way home, and the office is probably in the City--the financial district. Scrooge's home apparently is, too, since it's in walking distance. Local color? Bob runs by some boys throwing snowballs, and slides on the ice with them. We hear church bells at various times. I don't remember other details now, but it's definitely the London Dickens also wrote about in Oliver Twist and Bleak House, and many in between.

Answer 3

I was at a 4-H show just watching last year because my barn is the host barn in our area. But a girl with a gorgeous chestnut had put a stud chain on him the wrong way or something along those lines and when her horse started to rear and flip out the girl just pulled right back. Everyone knows the horse will win. The worst part is, when he flipped there was something to break his fall. The hood of a truck. Oh my god it was one of the scariest things I've ever seen and I'm getting goosebumps just writing about it. You could have heard a pin drop that's how dead silent it got after the sound of him hitting the truck. He got up afterward and apparently WAS IN RIDING CONDITION! I'm sorry but that's too traumatic of an experience for my horse to go through to be expected to compete afterward.

Answer 4

I LOVE the Christmas Carol its set in London in the 1800s.. most of the story is set in a dark fog, sadness but that is mostly for Scrooge. The Crachit family despite their poverty are still a happy family who make Christmas in their heart.
