Plot overview
Introduction
What you need to know
The whole novella in brief, stave by stave, and how Scrooge's transformation is structured.
How the circular structure returns to the counting-house and the same people, changed.
Edexcel's novel question has two parts, and neither marks context: part (a) on the printed extract marks language, form and structure (AO2); part (b) on the novel elsewhere, from memory, marks the argument and its references (AO1), not language analysis. Use context only where it explains a reading, and say which part each worked paragraph and exam tip is for.
