The Ghost of Christmas Past: Scrooge's childhood, Fan, Fezziwig and Belle.
Key quotations: 'like a child: yet not so like a child as like an old man', 'a bright clear jet of light', 'Your lip is trembling', 'A solitary child, neglected by his friends', 'The happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune', 'Another idol has displaced me', 'a golden one', 'Your reclamation, then'.
How memory begins Scrooge's change, and what Fezziwig and Belle show about money.
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.
