    Hope is a beautiful thing. It rings through Dickens' novella like the bells of Christmas day, but is it the right kind of hope? Let's look at how a relatively simple idea can be transformed into a top-level essay response.

    Can you become a better person without the help of four spirits? Perhaps so, but it might not be as fun or filled with powerful imagery. Lock in for a spooky journey, as we look at how you turn Dickens' ghostly figures into a top level response.

    You can't really write about A Christmas Carol without getting into Dickens' social message; so why not turn it into an entire essay, we thought. Enjoy!

    The best essays will move around a text and show a detailed understanding of the work as a whole. And you will need to be able to do this to ace this question. Can a man who murders his king be called a hero? In order to be a true villain, do you perhaps need something of the hero about you? Complex questions lead to great essays.

    Happiness, the key to a long and... happy life. In this episode we look at the many forms happiness takes in the novella and ask what does it really mean to be happy (hint: it's not about money!).
