Skits!!

1. So first of all, the scene when Pip visits Miss Havisham for the first time would be great. I also believe that this will be a popular choice, due to the fact it is extremely memorable. The characters that would be important to portray include Pip, Miss Havisham, and Estella. There are many parts that would be good to show from these chapters, but I think that what should be shown is when Miss Havisham talks to Pip and shares about her broken heart. Directly after this she calls Estella back in and asks her to play cards with Pip. This would be entertaining to see the class reenact.
2.I believe that another great scene to act out is when Pip arrives in London for the first time. This is because he was country boy, and really unaware of the city life. Important characters to include would be Pip, Jaggers, and Wemmick. Jaggers would obviously be included because he is the escort of Pip to London, and Wemmick because he is newly introduced as the dry clerk of Jaggers.
3.Finally, I think the last skit that should be shown is when Pip runs into the "strange man" on the staircase. He soon learns that this was the convict he ran into when he was younger, and as the story progresses Pip learns that the convict, newly known as Able Magwitch is his benefactor. The characters that are necessary would be Able Magwitch, Pip, and possibly Herbert and Jaggers depending how in depth the skit goes.

More Questions

As I had stated last week, due to the high diction and many characters there are moments when the novel Great Expectations becomes hard to follow. After reading this week around Chapters 42 and 43, the character "Pip's Convict", newly introduced as Able Magwitch shares his past and life story with Pip. Throughout this time, the character of Compeyson was spoken about. What I don't really understand is why Magwitch wants to see Copmpeyson again because he had turned against him. I think its maybe because he wants to get some sort of revenge, but personally I don't know if that makes sense either because he isn't technically supposed to be over with Pip. It would be great if someone could explain this.

Great Expectations: Question

Due to the challenging word choice, plethora of characters, and eventful plot there have been multiple occasions where as a reader you question the content of what you are reading, and become confused about what is going on. A specific question that I have relates to Pip and Biddy. On page 286 when Pip says ""... I reflected on what an unkindness, what and injury, what and injustice Biddy had done me." This quote was referring to the encounter Pip and Biddy had, in which they briefly discussed how Pip doesn't visit often. I was confused by this because Pip hadn't visited her on hardly any occasions before, so for him being frustrated at her for being skeptical of his word is strange in my opinion. I wasn't sure if it was maybe just because he has a bad attitude because of his rise in social standing, or is there was maybe a reason I failed to think of. Basically, I just think that Biddy definitely wasn't being rude or showing and injustice to Pip considering how he has acted lately in the book. It would be fantastic if someone could maybe further explain this particular quote.

Great Expectations: Photos

This picture is a great representation of the last few chapers of the novel Great Expectations. This pitcture is so fitting because money would be an example of Pip's "great expectations" he is coming on to. The last few chapters discuss how Pip is leaving his family to go seek his fortune, and I think this picture of money is very realistic for this topic. Overall, I believe that money changes people either for better or for worse, and Pip is starting to negatively change because he knows that he is going to become of higher social ranking.
