First Impression

by: Karla Gomez

      The novel’s first 20 pages of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens ,talks about a young child named Philip Pirrip but as he was unable to pounce it as a child he called him self “Pip” , who is an orphan living in the country with his sister, whom Pip calls Mrs. Joe. This show a hard relationship with her, almost like a teacher and student relationship in the other hand there’s Mrs. Joe’s  husband Joe Gargery who is kind to pip. The novel tell us about one night  that Pip gets in trouble with Mrs. Joe he runs into a scary commentary where he meets a convict and has a weird relationship with where sometimes he is friendly and sometimes he is dangerous.
My impression of Great Expectations so far is that the book relates about human society and relationship with others and the difficulty when you are not able to carry your self such as a child but no one also does , at least not properly and it aslo foreshadows that the book might be about money and reaching society expectations of power and wealth , where feelings take a smaller place.
