Skits!

One scene I think should be performed is the scene where Miss Havisham catches on fire. She is too close to the fire and her clothes catch on fire. I think we should perform this scene because it is humorous, just imaging her running around screaming makes me laugh. I think it would add some fun to the skits.

A second scene would be when Magwitch has his flashback. It's a flash back that Magwitch is having. His hard childhood struggle for food then meeting Compeyson. This flashback shows a lot of who Magwitch is and that he is not as bad of a person as he come off as. He only steals for food and he doesn't try to be someone he's not. Magwitch is an important character because he is the person who has been looking out for Pip and giving him money. He couldn't have become a gentleman without him.

The third scene is Earlier on in the book when Pip is meeting Miss Havisham for the first time. She is one of the people in Pip's life who he has looked up to and no matter where Pip goes something about her always comes up, especially since he thought she was the one providing him with money.

Great Expectations Question 2

One character in this weeks reading that I don't fully understand is Compeyson. Abel Magwitch tells a story about him on page 346 which confused me a bit. Magwitch says, "A man whose skull I'd crack wi' this poker, like a claw of lobster, if i'd got it on this hob." Obviously magwitch doesn't like this man. What I wanna know is; Who is Compeyson? My guess is that Compeyson is the other convict.

Great Expectations Questions

On page 214 it says "'Molly,' said Mr. Jaggers, not looking at her, but obstinately looking at the opposite side of the room, 'let them see both your wrists. Show them. Come!'" Molly is Mr. Jagger's maid and he seems to be very controlling over her. It then goes on to say, "The last wrist was much disfigured-deeply scared and scared across and across." Molly seems very innocent and it is unusual that this was brought up. Her wrists didn't seem to have much to do with what was happening in the story.

I think this will show up again in this book. Everything in the book seems to come back again somewhere else in the book. It seems as though maybe this has a deeper meaning in the book that we haven't discovered yet. We were never told the reason that she had these scars so maybe later on in the book we will be told why. I want to know how she got these scars, do you have any ideas of how she got them?

This picture represents pip trying to climb up from a low social class to a higher social class to impress Estella. Each step in the picture is like a step he needs to take to become the person he wants to be, a gentleman. He makes it his goal to become a gentleman after Estella was rude to him for being lower then her. He then goes to London to be a gentleman and goes through man steps on the way to become the person he wants to be. And somewhere at the bottom of the steps would be joe, Mrs. Joe, and all the people he left behind to become a gentleman, because people now feels he is higher then the others
