Commentary - Which of the three spirits do you think has the greatest influence on Ebenezer Scrooge, and why does this one influence him more than the other two spirits do?
In my opinion The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come has the greatest influence on Ebenezer Scrooge because he shows him his own
grave. The Ghost of Christmas Yet shows him that he will die alone and no one will mourn him. The fact that he will die alone scares
Scrooge a lot. The two other spirits are also important by showing Scrooge what happend but these things happened in the past and
can't be undone.
Knowing that he can change the future he has the possibility to Prevent his oncoming death pushes him the most to change his life.

) und bearbeite es nochmal...
