IMAGERY
MY FATHER HAS A GLASS. TELESCOPE. A BRASS ONE. IT OPENS UP AND IT HAS TWISTS ON IT AND AN EYEPIECE THAT YOU PUT UP TO LOOK THROUGH. WE CAN SEE ALL THE WAY TO THE PARK WITH IT.
TONE
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE STORY, I THINK THE READER PITIES ALL THE PEOPLE SCROOGE INTERACTS WITH BECAUSE OF HOW GRUMPY HE IS. BUT, AT THE END, THERE'S A WARM FEELING BECAUSE OF HOW KIND SCROOGE BECOMES. SO, PITIFUL AT THE BEGINNING, AND HEARTFELT AT THE END.
