The words cheap, thrifty, stingy, and tightfisted all have similar meanings. Which word would a writer use to express a positive view of a character's behavior?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The author would use thrifty if they were trying to portray a positive behavior.

Each of those words describe someone who doesn’t spend a lot of money. However, “cheap”, “stingy”, and “tightfisted” all imply that the person isn’t spending money out of greed. “Thrifty” implies that the person is looking to save money by looking for a deal.
Answer 2
Answer: Thrifty. Stingy is generally considered like, doesn't give any money and cuts corners (like Mr. Krabs), cheap in my opinion is like, made from the least expensive and lowest quality material, and tightfisted is like, keeps all of their money no matter what.

Part AThis story is written from Justine’s perspective, and the reader sees what is important to her. How do Justine’s priorities change over the course of the story? When the story begins, Justine is excited to go out with her grandmother. After some kids make fun of her new outfit, she decides that she can't possibly go out in those clothes. At first she’s focused on her own feelings, but later she thinks more about how her grandmother might feel. Justine's priority at the start is keeping her mom happy by going out with her grandmother. As the story continues, Justine realizes she enjoys going to the movies and showing off her new clothes, whether or not her grandmother comes. At first she's willing to go along with her grandmother's plan, but she gets so embarrassed she has to tell her grandmother the truth. Question 2 Part B How does Justine demonstrate her changing priorities? Justine yells at the kids who tease her, announcing proudly that the outfit is a gift from her grandmother. Justine pleads with her mother to let her skip the movie trip. Even though the outfit is ugly, Justine willingly reschedules her movie trip with her grandmother. She suggests that she and her grandmother go shopping together for new clothes instead of going to the movies.
