The allusion to "Scrooge" suggests that Miranda is being very careful and frugal with her money, similar to the character Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." Even though her business is making a lot of money, she continues to save, indicating her cautious nature and perhaps a strong work ethic.
Use the sentence to complete the activity.
“‘Even when the business began to earn large profits, I still saved my money like Scrooge,’ Miranda said.”
In 1-2 sentences, explain how a reader might interpret this allusion. Use details from the sentence to support your ideas. Keep it short and sweet. Write it like a 12 year old wrote it with formal language. USE FORMAL LANGUAGE!!!!! Thx
