In 3–5 sentences, describe a character that is stingy with money and dishonest. Include allusions to Scrooge and Pinocchio or two other suitable, well-known allusions in your response.
Meet Oliver, a character who embodies the stinginess of Scrooge and the dishonesty of Pinocchio. Oliver's pockets are perpetually empty, but his heart is full of greed. Like Scrooge, he hoards every penny, fearing to part with even a fraction. And as dishonest as Pinocchio, he weaves intricate tales to deceive others and manipulate situations for his personal gain. Oliver's persona serves as a cautionary tale, a modern-day amalgamation of characters that warns against the perils of avarice and deception.
