A Christmas Carol — AO1 (thesis + quotes)

AO1 — Response + references (what you say)

• State your argument clearly (what Dickens is saying about the theme).
• Build 3–5 points that track the question.
• Use short, embedded quotations.
• If there’s an extract:
  • Explain what the extract shows.
  • Link to elsewhere (2–3 moments) to prove it’s a pattern across the novella.
