But why did Charles Dickens write this story, you ask? Charles Dickens originally wrote this story because he saw social issues throughout his lifespan that he believed needed to be changed. He was heavily involved in The Ragged School Movement, which was a program that believed that education was the answer to bettering the lives of troubled inner city children. This is why he wrote “A Christmas Carol”. He saw how impoverished children were turning to crime, and he thought that his story could be of good guidance for these children. This popular story is beneficial and educational to everyone young and old. Get your family together and enjoy this popular Christmas story together!
