A few scence that would be fun...

1. I think that it would be hilarious to do the scene where the "Mysterious Convict" gives Pip the money in the bar. One of the main funny points that the actors could punctuate would be when the "Mysterious Convict" starts rubbing his leg. This scene would include Pip and "Mysterious Convict" along with Joe and Mr. Wopsle.

2. Another part that I remember well and is a great significance to the book is when Pip first goes to Miss Havisham's house and Estella is taking him to Miss Havisham's room. This scene would only include Estella and Pip.

3. The most interesting place in Great Expectations would have to be Wemmick's house, because it is so... different from the rest of the book. It is the total contrast and Pip's safe haven from his normal day to day life. The scene would include Pip ringing the doorbell, and going inside the gothic mansion and the n meeting the Aged. So the characters included are Pip, Wemmick and the Aged P.

umm QUESTION

so can i post a blog that i forgot to do about a month ago and still get points?

Able Magwitch

When Able Magwitch comes back into the book it is somewhat suprising, but brings some loose ends together. On the other hand, since Pip has become a gentleman the reader has become used to a higher level of diction and to have Able Magwitch jump back into the scene the book becomes harder to understand because Able has a lower level of diction than Pip. Magwitch's disadvantage has made me start to ponder what he means by "Howsomever, I'm a-getting low, and I know what's due. Dear boy and Pip's comrade, don't you be afeerd of me getting low."(371)It seems to me that Able is trying to tell Pip of his life's story without a dialect that might impose upon a gentleman's status. But why would Able M. be "afeerd" of getting "low" in front of Pip, who would have never been a gentleman if it hadn't been for him?

Look Before You Leap...

I chose this picture to show the first part of Pip's long journy to become a gentleman. I think that when Pip is on his way to London (in a carriage)he finally takes in the full efect of what is happening. Before, all Pip had was the want and mental theory that he would never be happy until he was a gentleman. But now that the journy has actually begun, and there is no turning back, he thinks about what he will leave behind, and miss is he were to stay in the country. Pip in a sence looked before he leaped, because when he saw Estella for the first time thats when he looked, and he leaped in many different steps to get to be a gentleman.

Pip vs. My Chain of Change

In Pip's statement to the reader I think he is portraying the beginning of a new life,
that began with one thing that will lead to another. The first link in Pip's chain is
when he visits Miss Havisham for the first time, and finds out how poor and
utterly common he is from Estella. This is also the day that Pip started to realize
how common he was and that he could never be happy again until he became
a gentleman. Before heading off to Miss Havisham's Pip was uncertain and skittish,
he didn’t know that he was poor or un-educated. In fact for most people in his village
he was educated.
When I was in 5th grade I didn’t care what clothes I was wearing as long as they
were green. But the first day of middle school I began to see a change in the people
around me, they began to care about how they looked, if there make up was smeared
and if their hair was frizzy or not. At first I was confused by all the clutter and kids.
Although after awhile I felt as if my clothes were weird and not "cool" enough to fit in
with the "cool" crowd. So the very next day I began to watch and speculate the
different fashions that were sweeping the school around me. By the middle of the year
I was confident enough to try some new things out like jeans. After my first step one
thing lead to another and by the time I finished middle school I was with the flow of
kids in their styles and brand names, although I never liked the brand names so I
stuck with my own style and has changed my life dramatically.
