If you were Scrooge, what would you have done in the story?

Your question does not make it clear which point in the story you are referring to and that could impact the way you answer the question. It is possible you are being asked if you would be as miserly as Ebenezer Scrooge OR if you would change your ways at the end of the story, like Scrooge does. It seems probable that it is the latter, so let's take a look at why you might respond...

Your question does not make it clear which point in the story you are referring to and that could impact the way you answer the question. It is possible you are being asked if you would be as miserly as Ebenezer Scrooge OR if you would change your ways at the end of the story, like Scrooge does. It seems probable that it is the latter, so let's take a look at why you might respond similarly or differently than Scrooge.

If you were to respond differently than Scrooge you probably need to provide a detailed explanation as to what you would have done differently and why. Let's say you argued that you would not have changed significantly like Scrooge did, why not? You could easily argue that there is no guarantee that if he DOES change that his future will be any different; therefore, you would stick to your old ways because those werehwat you were accustomed to and comfortable with and there is no real evidence you need to change. You'll die anyway at some point and the spirits did not show you what the "happy" future might be or if there wold even be one.

If you were to argue that you would respond the same way that Scrooge did, and become a nice and generous person, you would want to be able to provide some  explanation as to why. This answer is the most likely, but also a bit trickier because you want to avoid simply repeating the story with lines like, "I would give Bob Cratchit a raise, too." Yes, you probably would, but you could write about why you would do so by adding wording like, "because he is so deserving and has been underpaid for too long." We do not have a lot of that explanation in the final part of the story. We know what Scrooge does, but the author does not explicitly tell us what Scrooge is thinking when he does it, and that could make your own response unique. Why change the way you do? What did the spirits show you that motivated this change?
