Double check for correcting errors in capitalization and spelling.
Omit "In my opinion" since that's the same thing as "I think"!

Add details to prove your point:
~ What was Scrooge like before? How did he act and speak after he "became a nice person"? What made him change?
~ Specifically, which people "around him" became better people, too?
~ What does "better people" mean?
To convey the message that when one person changes for the better, others are affected for the better, the second act of A Christmas Carol illustrates Scrooge's transformation and the positive impact it has on those around him. Firstly, the play shows Scrooge's initial miserly behavior and his lack of compassion for others. This is evident in Act II when he refuses to donate money to charity and dismisses the idea of helping those less fortunate. However, as the play progresses, Scrooge is visited by three spirits who show him visions of his past, present, and future. These visions help Scrooge recognize the error of his ways and realize the importance of kindness and generosity.
As a result of Scrooge's transformation, two significant details in the play highlight the positive changes that occur in the lives of others. Firstly, when he wakes up on Christmas morning, Scrooge immediately expresses his newfound joy and love for others by spreading Christmas cheer and participating in acts of goodwill. He sends a turkey to the Cratchit family, who are impoverished, and raises Bob Cratchit's salary. This kind gesture brightens the Cratchit family's holiday and improves their overall well-being. Secondly, Scrooge encounters two individuals seeking donations for charity, and he willingly donates a substantial amount of money. This act of generosity not only directly benefits the recipients but also inspires others witnessing this act to give as well.
To make one's own life better and contribute to positive change in others, it is crucial to reflect on one's actions and strive to cultivate kindness, empathy, and compassion towards others. By examining our attitudes and behaviors and seeking opportunities to help and support those in need, we can foster a more caring and interconnected society, just as Scrooge's transformation in A Christmas Carol demonstrates.
