Most Memorable Moment
The
most important moment in my section was when the main character, Pip meets a
prisoner while he was visiting his parent’s grave. Pip is an orphan who lives
in the marsh country along the river, twenty miles from the sea. He lives with
his mean sister, Mrs. Joe Gargery, and with her loving husband, Joe Gargery.
Pip’s parents died before he was old enough to have memories. So he likes to
visit them in the graveyard with their gravestones. One day while he was
visiting them, he comes across this young prisoner who has escaped from a
nearby prison. The dirty young man grabs Pip by the throat and threatens him.
The man demands pip to bring him some food and a file. That evening, Pip comes
home and steals pork pie and his dinner which was bread and takes a file from
Joe.
The
next morning, Pip goes and visits the prisoner to give him what he had asked
for. First he sees another prisoner and thinks it’s the one who threatened him
but he was wrong. After a little search, he found him and gives him the food
and the file. The prisoner was shocked because he didn’t really expect Pip to
come and give him what he needed to survive. Pip then leaves feeling guilty and
expecting police at his door step because he believes what he had done was
wrong. He stole from his sister and didn’t tell his best friend Joe about
anything that happened.
This
was important in my section because first he helped a prisoner who had escaped
and also felt guilty because he did not inform his best friend, Joe. He felt
that Joe would hate him and how he has lost his trust for him. Joe was Pip’s
best friend after he was adopted and his parent’s death. He felt like he could
share anything with him and Joe was the only one that could understand him. Joe
was known for his kindness and was a very loving person. After Joe told Pip
that he insisted Pip’s sister to adopt him and take care of him, he was in
tears. This brought his closer to Joe because he actually thought someone loved
him and actually cared about him.
