• "he told me, coming home that he wished people saw him in the church because he is a cripple and it might be pleasant for them to remember upon christmas day, he who made lame beggars walk and blind men see"
• tiny tim is used to encourage the christian audience to fall into their faith when struggling like he does as they should reflect on religion and bible stories especially around christmas
• he is a symbol of scrooges consequences for his actions as the cratchit family can not afford to pay tiny tims medical bills due to how little Scrooge pays bob
• "did NOT die"
