The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come: Scrooge's death, the thieves, Tiny Tim's death and the grave.
Key quotations: 'The Phantom slowly, gravely, silently, approached', 'shrouded in a deep black garment', 'I fear you more than any spectre I have seen', 'Old Scratch has got his own at last', 'It's likely to be a very cheap funeral', 'this is a fearful place', 'Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of things that May be, only?', 'I am not the man I was', 'I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year'.
Tiny Tim's empty place at the Cratchits' table, and the debtors relieved by Scrooge's death.
OCR's question on this novel is one essay, from a choice of two, for 40 marks: an extract-based question on the printed extract and the novel elsewhere, or a discursive question on a view of the novel, using at least two moments. Response (AO1) and language, form and structure (AO2) carry the most weight and equal weight, context (AO3) counts when it is relevant to the question, and 4 marks are for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation (AO4). An extract-based answer that never leaves the extract, or a discursive answer built on one moment, cannot go above Level 3. Each worked paragraph and exam tip is labelled with the question it is for.
