Skits!

1.) The first part of the book that I think would make a good scene in a skit is when Pip going to Miss Havisham's house for the very first time. This part of the book was very interesting to read about, and the movie clip you showed on this made me laugh. The character of Miss Havisham would be a fun role to play because of how unique she is in every way and how crazy the things she says to pip are. Characters included would be Pip, Miss Havisham and maybe a few of Miss Havisham's relatives that are at the house.

2.) When Miss Havisham catches on fire. Everything about this just makes it a good scene. It was a very funny part unlike many other boring chapters and I think the class would have a lot of fun acting this out. Pip and Miss Havisham would be the only characters included.

3.) Way back at the very start of the book when Pip first comes across the convict, also known as Magwitch, would be an interesting scene too. Not only would I find it hard for the people acting this out to hold a straight face, but the audience too. I think someone trying to talk like the convict would be funny and Pip running away scared.

Another Question!

One thing I still do not understand is the relationship that Pip and Estella actually have. On page 325 Pip says; "The nature of my relations with her, with placed me on terms of familiarity, without placing me on terms of favour, conducted to my distraction." Pip is not at all a dumb person, but how could he really think that they were dating or engaged when she doesn't think so at all? Such as in the Pub with another man toasted to Estella and that made Pip angry when in reality he has no reason to be angry because they aren't officially anything, are they?

Question About A Passage

I'm have been confused on numerous occasions through out this book, although talking about the book in class helps a lot. On page 306 Pip says "...I reflected what an unkindness, what injury, what an injustice Biddy had done me." I was wondering what unkindness or injustice Biddy had done to Pip because I don't recall anything happening.

One path symbolizes Pip leaving to London, which is meaning he will be leaving the other path behind; his family, Biddy, becoming a blacksmith. The road is a one way street meaning that it would be very hard for him to turn back and decide to take the other path. He chose the path to become a gentleman, and thats the one he must stick with.
