This is from a series of posters I made for revision of the characters in A Christmas Carol. They each display quotes that would be useful to revise for the UK's GCSE exam. This one is of The Ghost of Christmas Past. I printed some out in A4 for my students but they look pretty good in A3 as eye-catching wall displays. Alternatively, they can be used within lessons in a number of ways: edit them to display some quotes and/or some traits, leaving students to fill in the missing ones; ask students to link each quote and/or trait to a theme; ask students to create a similar version of a character you have not shown them. I will be uploading Scrooge, Bob Cratchit & Tiny Tim, Fred, Jacob Marley and the ghosts of Christmases Present and Yet to Come, so please look for those if you wish to have the complete set. Other sets available soon: Frankenstein; Blood Brothers; Romeo and Juliet; Macbeth; An Inspector Calls; The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Please get in touch if there is a series of characters and quotes which you would like me to make. As long as it will sell on here, I am happy to put the time in to making them.

Celestial symbolism in writing refers to the use of celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, and stars as symbols to convey deeper meanings in a literary work. Celestial symbolism has been used in literature for centuries. It can add depth and meaning to your work by conveying abstract ideas and emotions through concrete images. Symbolism helps to create a mood or atmosphere, and to reinforce themes and motifs throughout a text. The same symbol can represent a variety of things in literature depending on the context and the author's intent, which is why some examples may have more than one association.
