skit prep

my absolute favorite scene to be preformed would be the fight between miss. Haversham
and Estella. next I would like to see when Pip and Herbert try to sneak Magwitch on to a steamer. and lastly the scene with Miss. Haversham on fire!I think that the first two would be good because they show great character developement. the third one I want to see because it is hilariuos.

Next question!

why exactly is Abel Magwitch so generous? why instead of taking and using the money for his own pleasure dose he instead put it twards pips wellbeing? I understand that Pip showed kindness to him that day on the marshes but really Pip just did it because he was scared of Abel.what do you think motivated him to do this service for Pip?

Great Expectations questions

one of the parts of great expectations that I dont get is from page 246-247 it is when Pip has come back to his home town. he is walking down the road and it seems that he meets Trabbs boy
"casting my eyes along the street at a certian point of my progress , I beheld Trabb's boy approaching, loashing him-self with an empty blue bag"( pg.246)
Trabbs boy the proceades to fall down frightendeed at Pips feet.However a second later it says that he meets him again and that this time he crawls to Pips feet and begs for mercy. a moment later it happens agian only this time Trabbs boy simply dosent remeber Pip taunting him by saying "dont know yah!".
I am mainly confused on if this is a real happening ( and if so how?) or if it is something Pip is imagining. Pip seems to use languges as if this is really happening however I dont really see how it could work in real life. so my question to you is * begins music*
Is this the real life? or is this just fantasy?

Great Expectations Picture


First of all I chose this picutre because it was cute, however the second reason I chose it is because of the symbolism behind it. the little boy in the picture seems to be getting his fondest desire , an ice cream cone bigger that himself.this is not unlike Pips suden rise to fortune. Pip to is given what he belives to be the best thing in the world however in the picutre the child dosent look happy , this is because he is figgureing out that the ice cream cone is made out of stone and paint and dose not taste good in the least. Pip also is sad with is prize because it means he has to leave the only familly he has ever known and go out in to the world alone.
