Ch 54-59 Pip POV by Kat S

I am very saddened by the death of Magwitch. Even though he brought a lot of pain into my life, he also brought me happiness. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to tell him about Estella and that she is doing well and I love her. I believe Magwitch died a happy man. I have realized that when I became a gentleman I also became a snob. Therefore, I was hurting the people around me. I got struck down by an illness and my health became poor. I kept seeing Joe in my dreams. I then realized that I am really seeing Joe. I grieve for the fact that Joe thinks he is not good enough to be in my presence and leaves. It is my own fault for treating him poorly. I am grateful that he nursed me back to health and helped me with my debt. I think that it is about time to let go of my dream to be with Estella and move on with Biddy. I was disappointed when I returned home to find that Joe and Biddy were getting married. Since I no longer have any real ties left to the Marsh I agreed to be a clerk for Herbert. This resulted in a strong friendship and later business partners. I am excited that Biddy and Joe had a baby boy and I am honored that they named him after me. I am not sorry that Drummel was killed by his horse. He was horrid and cruel to everyone, including Estella. I returned to the Satis House where I saw Estella in the garden. I think both of have come to piece with are pasts at the Satis House and what role it played in our futures. I let her know that even though I did not end up with her, I was glad to know that she changed for the better. Seeing her made me feel good inside. I hope that someday we can become friends or maybe something more but until then I can only hope for a brighter future.

46-53 Estella

My mother passed away today. She burned to death. Although, my mother was cruel sometimes and taught me the wrong things, she did raise me. She was my motherly figure. She was different at the end of her life, almost, nice. She almost seemed regretful, maybe messing up something? Maybe she feels guilty for teaching me certain things. I don't know. What I found strange was that Pip tried to save my mothers life. He literally risked his own life for hers. I find that strange considering she taught me to break his heart and now he suffers to see me and Drummle together. Oh well, things will work out I suppose.

Pip 54-59 By: Christian

It was time for Magwitch to escape and be free. The plan was for us to row all day and then take a steam boat the next morning. However, somehow Compeyson knew of our plans and showed up with officers. Magwitch and Compeyson got in this huge fight and fell into the water. When it was all over and done with, Magwitch was badly hurt and Compeyson was nowhere to be found. Magwitch was taken to prison and sentenced to death, but he was obviously going to die of his injuries before he could be put to death. I couldn't let him die without telling him that he had a daughter named Estella and she was so very beautiful and how she was perfectly content with her new husband. Magwitch died a happy man.

I went back to my home in London, and started working for Herbert Pocket, my old friend. As a few years passed I gradually worked my way up and became his partner. Clarriker told Herbert that I gave him all the money he needed to start his business, and I think that helped a little bit with me becoming his partner, but that is beside the point. The point is that I was happy with my current situation as a successful businessman, doing what I wanted to do all along.
Next, it was time to make things right with Joe. He had been my friend for so long and had always been there for me when I needed it most. It was the right thing to do, visiting him.

Lastly, I visited the Satis House. Although there was not much left of it, the property held many memories both good and bad, and I thought I was re-living one when I saw Estella off in the distance. After I got a better look, I realized that it was actually her! We talked for quite sometime about her life and mine. She had apparently remarried because her old husband was killed by a horse that he abused. Estella was very happy with her current situation and quite frankly, I was happy for her. Estella and I will always be friends.

Pip Chapters 46-53 sarah grace

I've been kinda of depressed lately about Estella but I'm having to forget about that at this moment and focus on more important things. Trying to hide Magwitch wasn't easy so I went to the play to get things off my mind. I went to Wemmicks for dinner the other night too and got a note from Miss Havisham. Even though I hate her I went to the house, she begged for my forgiveness and being the nice person I am handled it in a nice way. At her house I then went out into the garden and the next thing I saw in the window was Miss Havisham go up in flames and I tried to rescue her but it didn't happen and hurt myself along the way. Being the good friend Herburt is he nursed me back to well conditions. Oh and by the way I've figured out that Molly is Estella's mother. The two notes I received just stressed me out even more. Herburt is my life saver though. Without him at the marshes I'd be dead right now...

Estella 40-45

Today, Pip finally confessed that he loved me. It's not like I didn't know it all along, but still it was finally out there. He also accused me of deceiving him into thinking I felt the same way towards him. To this, I heartlessly insisted on doing no such thing. That is a lie, however, for I did lead him on. I never once really loved him though. I also made an announcement to Pip. I am getting married to Drummle. Oddly, when I told him this, mum seemed to pity the poor boy. Oh well though, for Drummle is a rich gentleman that will make me quite happy.

Estella 31-39

Mother made me go to London to see Pip this weekend. When I saw him we went to Richmond. Poor Pip, I only went there to lead him on and break his heart. Mother always makes me do this to him. I have no choice. When I told him that the only reason I was there was because mother made me, his facial expression seemed sad. I then got a feeling I have never felt before. Guilt maybe?
Oh and I am getting married to Drummle. He is old money and I have no problem breaking his heart.

Miss Havisham (Chapters 54-59) by Cooper

What a grieving death I have had! I have given my fortunes to the pockets, for I hope they will share some with Pip. I heard he is getting into some financial troubles. My house and legacy have crumpled as easily as I have. Although I tried so hard to destroy their friendship, Estella and Pip were destined to be together. I want so badly to see them together, but I've realized that I have only been holding Pip back in his journey. When I withered and died, he was able to move on and rekindle old friendships. I guess my death was just meant to be :(
