Skits

1. When Pip gets into a fight with the pale young gentleman (Herbert) at the Satis house. This would be a good scene because it would be insteresting to see how other people acted this out, and its a major part in the novel.

2. When Joe comes to visit Pip in London would be a good scene because Joe feels like he needs to call Pip sir and that he's a much better person than him. Joe also doesnt feel worthy of him, then Pip feels bad about his actions towards Joe. This would be fun to watch how people would characterize Joe and Pip in their skit.

3. The last scene that would be good to act out would be when Pip goes to Miss. Havishams house. When he meets a creepy old lady, a very pretty but rude girl and walks into a creepy house. It would be funny to see how people act out Pip's reactions to all of this and to hear someone act as Miss. Havisham.

Another Question!

In chapters 36 through 44, one thing I don't understand is when Pip is talking to Magwitch about his life and how he's been hiding and running from people. Magwitch says " Dear boy and Pip's comrade. I am not a-going fur to tell you my life, like a song or a sroty-book. But to give it to you short and handy, I'll put it at once into a mouthful of English. In jail and out of jail, in jail and out of jail, in jail and out of jail. There, you've got it. That's my life pretty much, down to such times as I got shipped off, arter Pip stood my friend."(345) What I'm not sure about is, why he keeps hiding? That is all Pip and Herbert were asking, but he never gave them an answer. So, what is he really hiding?

Question

The question I have is from chapter 26. "There's power here," said Mr. Jaggers,coolly tracing out the sinews with his forefinger. "Very few men have the power of wrist that this woman has. It's remarkable what mere force of grip there is in these hands. I have had occasion to notice many hands; but I never saw stroner in that respect, man's of woman's than these." (214) My question is; What is the significance towards Molly's wrists in the book? Mr. Jaggers makes it seem like there's a reason behind, but what? I get that something in her past has made her strongner or if it was cutting herself why did she do it.

Great Expectaions: Photo

This picture is of a butterfly just coming out of its cocoon after being a young caterpillar. To me, this represents Pip in many ways. One, him becoming older and acting differently towards his family. Also how he wants to become a gentleman, which means being mature.
