✅ Make your point.
✅ Choose your quotation.
✅ Analyse it.

Question: How does Dickens present Scrooge as an isolated character?
❌ "Solitary as an oyster" shows Scrooge is lonely...
✅ Dickens presents Scrooge as a deeply isolated character who has rejected human companionship. This is evident when he describes him as "solitary as an oyster."
Notice how the second example answers the question immediately.
🎯 Weekly Challenge
