Great Expectations Chapters 1-9 (from the view of Pip)

Dear Journal,

Life isn't fair. My mother and father died when I was young. I am raised by hand now by my own sister, Mrs. Joe. I feel as if I don’t have anyone to hang out with. Today was rough. I had to escape from a convict. I was so scared! I had to give him my food and a file. He is going to escape and kill me, while I live on an empty stomach. I wish that I had a different life, like this girl I just met, Estella. She is so pretty and so rich. Her guardian, Mrs. Havisham, may be cruel, but Estella is so awesome she can be as mean as she wants. I want to hang out with her again soon.

Chapters 1-9
My mother set up a play date between me and this common boy. He was nothing special, nothing rich, he had coarse hands and thick feet. He was the "hardworking" commoner type. The poor type. Obviously my mother didn't care much for him though because she kept telling me to break his heart over and over. I had no problem with this, partially because I didn't fully understand, but since he was not rich and was not a kid of high stature (like me). He didn't meet my excpectaitions since I am wealthy and special. The boy only knew one game of cards. He was my age and seemed very confused when I told him he had course hands and thick feet; I guess he never thought of himself like that. He soon left and that was that for now. Other than that, the day was somewhat ordinary.

Joe 1-9

Dear Journal,
            Let me recall what happened during the course of these last days. Pip, the marvelous boy that he is, has been acting peculiar recently. My job as a blacksmith has been going great recently. All the people say they enjoy my service. There has been some drama recently involving our food supply. Some of it dwindled down, and then we found out that it was Pip, supplying a convict with food! Who would have known? And why didn't he trust me... Things are fine now. All of the arguments and whatnot have been settled. I will return to write later.

                                                                                                            Sincerely,
                                                                                                                 Joe

Im a bear!

Chapter 10-19 Pip Sarah Grace Brock

Over the course of chapter 10- 19 I experienced many emotions from being depressed to being so happy I can't even control myself. Depression hit first when I realized Miss. Havisham wanted nothing more from me and signed me to be an apprentice to Joe. Then to make everything worse the girl who I was falling for, Estella, was moving away. Time passes and nothing gets better but fortunately nothing gets worse either. Then comes the days that a stranger that introduced himself as lawyer Jaggers told me the best news I would probably ever hear in my life. He tells me I will inherit a big amount of money from a secret benefactor and that I will move to London and become a gentlemen. That was the day that changed my life. From that day on till I was shipped off to London I kind of became conceded and mean to my family and the ones who loved me. I now regret that but am sure glad that I got to leave them and start somewhere else.

Mrs. Havisham 1-9 - Dustin

I am Mrs. Havisham, I am morally depressed at this time, and have been all my life. I was jilted at a young age by my future husband, and have not recovered from the effects of that. I have not changed my house since the day before the wedding, i choose to do this because I relive that day over and over again in my mind, so I choose to relive that day every day in my life as well. I want my daughter Estella to grow up to make people like me. I think people should feel what I feel because I feel lonely, like i am the only one this way, and my life feels empty now. i think that seeing people like me feels that gap, so i invited pip over to play with Estella. I hope she will grow up to make people like me, so i will not be alone. He allready feels atracted to her and that is exactly what i want to happen. hopfully my plan will turn out like i expect it too that way i won't be alone.
