Blog #2

Choose one of the following:

1. Review Part I and explain how Pip’s visits to Miss Havisham’s contribute to his developing expectations. Citing evidence from those and other chapters, identify the changes in Pip’s ambitions. Consider where he began and where he wants to be.

2. Choose one of the following characters and discuss how his/her name reveals his/her personality: Jaggers, Orlick, Pumblechook, Wopsle, Estella, or Pip. Start with reading the descriptions from the novel of each character. Additional research on the origin and etymology of the name may be helpful. Some descriptions may require some educated imagination.

Be sure to see the blog requirements for full credit for your post. Your blog should be posted no later than tomorrow evening. A comment, based on the comment descriptions provided, should be posted by Friday.

It is a pleasant thing to reflect upon, and furnishes a complete answer to those who contend for the gradual degeneration of the human species, that every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last.
Charles Dickens

Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.

Charles Dickens

Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.
Charles Dickens

An author is a fool who, not content with boring those he lives with, insists on boring future generations.
