The+Christmas+Carol

__The Christmas Carol __ by Charles Dickens, another approved piece of classic literature, on the Elko County Reading list. The main character, Scrooge is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve and who convince Scrooge to turn his life around before it is too late. The genre is fictional drama. However, the novel is on the recommended reading list for the Common Core Standards. The questionable situation is the fact that it contains the story plot of Ghosts. Many religious citizens do not approve of the teaching of ghosts to their children. The appropriate age is middle school, it is often taught in the 7th grade.
