These posts are all short (<180 words) introductions\/reviews of books in the EL library. They focus on telling you what we think will be interesting for you, a college student and English learner, so use them to help you find the right book for you. You can also use the <\/em>tags<em> to find books about topics you might be interested in.]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>_______<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClassical Comics\u201d is a series of comic books made by the English textbook company, Heinle. The comics are adaptations of famous classic stories, and the English Lounge has a whole collection of them. Because these books are meant for English learners, they include helpful information in the back: a vocabulary list, information about the author, character lists, etc. In addition, the English is changed to be easier to understand than the original, like a Graded Reader.<\/p>\n<p><em>A Christmas Carol<\/em> is based on Charles Dickens\u2019 short book of the same name. It tells the story of Ebinezer Scrooge, a rich and greedy old man whose heart has grown cold. This story is so famous that if you call someone a \u201cScrooge\u201d it means they are being greedy. Christmas is coming, but he hates the holiday. Then, he is visited by a series of ghosts who show him Christmas past, present, and future, including his lonely death. He learns the meaning of Christmas, love, and God, and promises to change his life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My two cents:<\/strong> \u201cClassical Comics\u201d do not have great art. However, I think that <em>A Christmas Carol<\/em> has some of the better and more creative drawings in the series, especially the use of black and the colors of the three different ghosts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2451\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/christmascarol-233x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"233\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/christmascarol-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/christmascarol-796x1024.jpg 796w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/christmascarol-1195x1536.jpg 1195w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/christmascarol-1593x2048.jpg 1593w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/christmascarol-994x1278.jpg 994w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/christmascarol.jpg 1848w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Welcome to the EL Book Introductions series.
