Our team embarked on an insightful journey into the realm of academic integrity by

examining the consequences of cheating in schools. Through our collaborative efforts, we

aimed to shed light on this critical issue and propose strategies to address it.
Initially, every person in our team have been given a task based on their own strength.
Assigning those roles ensured that each aspect of the project was covered and contributed
to its successful completion.

Then, we brainstormed on Simon and Denisa’s part. All of us came up with plenty of ideas to
recreate Charles Dicken’s classic novella “A Christmas Carol”. At the same time we took into
consideration discussing major issues of our society. From Scrooge being a corporate
polluter to him being a successful businessman. Then, we remembered our last project
which emphasized the importance of staying true to ourselves when it comes to educational
purposes. “So, why not?”we thought. And that’s how Simon and Denisa ended up writing
about a Scrooge who had been cheating his way through school.

A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens is a timeless story that touches on various universal
themes such as redemption, compassion, the consequences of one's actions, and the spirit
of giving.The tale addresses societal issues such as poverty, inequality, and the
responsibility of the privileged to help the less fortunate. In today's world, the divide between
the rich and poor persists. The story's message about the importance of generosity and
social responsibility encourages people to help those in need, fostering a sense of
community and empathy.

This adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" mirrors the central themes of Charles Dickens's
timeless tale. The overarching theme of redemption and transformation takes center stage in
both versions. Ebenezer Scrooge's journey in both narratives traverses a path from
selfishness, isolation, and moral degradation to a realization of the importance of kindness,
human connection, and personal responsibility.

Similarly to Dickens's original, this adaptation emphasizes the significance of self-reflection

and the consequences of one's actions. Both stories highlight the impact of choices on one's
present and future, emphasizing the potential for change and the possibility of atonement.

The importance of relationships and their influence on an individual's character is another

shared theme. Just as Scrooge's interactions with the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present,
and Yet to Come in the original tale lead to his transformation, here, Scrooge's encounters
with his past, present, and future selves reveal the consequences of his actions, guiding him
towards self-awareness and change.

Moreover, the adaptation maintains the essence of Dickens's message regarding the true
meaning of Christmas. It illustrates the power of empathy, love, and generosity in bringing
about personal growth and happiness.

In essence, this adaptation echoes the core values and moral lessons of Dickens's "A
Christmas Carol," emphasizing the potential for redemption, the importance of compassion,
and the transformative power of self-realization and kindness, thereby retaining a profound
resonance with the original narrative.
