Skits

When Pip goes to Mrs. Havisham's house. Talk about how when he walks into her weird house and meets her. I think that this would be funny and a good important scene to act out especially with good acting!

When Estella told Pip that she was not meant for him and she was going to marry Drummle. This takes place at Mrs. Havisham's house. This is one of the really important scenes where Pip finds out that the girl he really liked doesn't feel the same way. This would be a good dramatic skit to act out.

When Mrs. Havisham catches on fire and starts to yell in a dramatic funny way. I think that this would be a very funny scene to act out especially if someone is very dramatic and serious about the part!

Question #2

In chapter 40 on page 332 they are talking about a guy named Mr. Provis. They say "I resolved to call him by that name, who reserved his consent to Herbert's participation until he should have seen him and formed a favourable judgment of his physiognomy." My question is who is Mr. Provis?

Question

One thing that i don't understand in this book is how Pip and Estella are not really together. He has always talked about how beautiful she is and perfect, but then they don't get together. Why is this? It seems like she isn't into him as much as he is too her which may be a problem for them.Things like this happen in everyday life, but why not have it happen in the book?

I chose the image of a lion cub and its parent because Pip first started out as a little boy and wasn't sure how he was going to grow up. But then a grew into something bigger that decided what he wanted to do, which was be a gentleman. A lion cub starts out weak and doesn't know how to catch its prey or defend for itself at first but then when it grows into something more strong and fierce other animals become afraid. Pip is just like a fierce lion looking for something to catch in his grasp.
