Please help me with the following questions
Read the following extract from A Christmas Carol and answer the questions that follow:
Oh! But he was a tight- fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster.
1. Based on this extract, what sort of person does Scrooge appear to be? Select two key details (single words or very short phrases) and explain how they help to support your view.
2. Now choose a further three details, explain what their connotations (associated meanings) are and what each suggests about Scrooge.
