Literature Analysis #2

   Great Expectations

1. There is a young boy named Pip who is 6 years old and lives with his sister and her husband Joe(Mr. Gargery). Pip takes food from his sister to feed a convict at churchyard so he does not starve. Pip goes to Miss Havisham's house to play with Estella her adopted daughter, who Pip begins to like and later falls in love with. When Pip is old enough he gets a job but he would rather become a man and marry Estella. He randomly gets a fortune from an unknown benefactor, so Pip moves to London and Mr. Jaggers who is a lawyer begins to take care of him then Pip becomes friends with Herbert Pocket. On Pip's 21st birthday Mr. Jaggers gives him a 500 pound yearly allowance. On Pip's 23rd birthday the convict shows up to Pip's house and he tells Pip how he is Pip's undiscovered benefactor. The convict's real name is Abel Magwitch who was not to return to England so Pip finds a way to get him out of the country. Estella gets married and later finds out Magwitch is her dad. Magwitch get sent back to jail and later dies. He later moves to Cairo and works at Herbert's shipping yard for many years then moves back to England while Joe marries Biddy and Pip later reunites with Estella.

2. I'd have to say the theme of Great Expectations is love, and that good deeds are could benefit you in the future. I think that is the theme because Pip is all along trying to find someone to love as his own and because of him feeding the convict he later had a benefactor who helped him for many years.

3. I'd have to say I think the author's tone has to do with family and friends because throughout the story Pip is looking for just that. He doesn't have a father or mother so he sees himself as the people he is surrounded by so he helps the convict out, he depends on Miss Havisham, he lives with his sister and her husband in law then he later falls in love with Estella who he doesn't have a chance with. "Where's your Mother?" "There, sir!" said I"
"Who d'ye live with?" "My sister, sir - Mrs. Joe Gargery - wife of Joe Gargery, the blacksmith, sir."
"I cannot adequately express what pain it gave me to think that Estella should show favour to a contemptible, clumsy, sulky, booby, so very far below the average."

4. Imagery: "I realeased the leg of the table and ran for my life" Pg24
Metaphor: "When I was the first hired out as shepherd t'other side the world, it's my belief I should ha'turned into a molloncolly mad sheep myself."
Conflict: Miss Havisham tells Pip she is helping him and it ends up not being true, she was hiding the convicts identity
Symbols: The mist represents not being able to see so when the convict came he couldn't see
Hyperbole: "I looked at Wemmick, whose face was very grave."
Poit of View: First person, Pip is telling the story of him growing up and how it all became who he is today.
Genre: Fantasy, Pip grows up gets a benefactor and is moved to London then Mr.Jagger gives him a 500 pound allowance to good to be true.
Allusion: Pip and Herbert go to see Mr. Wopsle in a production of Shakespears Hamlet.
Settiing: London, Pip moves to London and lives with Mr. Jagger and is given a 500 pound annual allowance.
Onomatopeia: "Ay, ay, dear buy"

Characterization

1.Direct: Pip beging the study as a young orphan who lives and is being raised by his sister and brother-in-law.
Indirect: Joe Gargery, Pips brother-in-law has a huge impact on Pip, stays with abusive wife.

2.I would have to say that the author does use a little more syntx but overall is equally detailed no matter what is happening.

3. Yes, Pip is a dynamic character. He goes from being an orphan to growing up and living in London getting an annual allowance from Jaggers. Pip is also a round charater because he overcomes obstacles and changes.

4. Yes, after reading this i felt like i knew and know people who are fake and crazy just like Mis Havisham.
