Reading 1 of Great Expectations

I found the first 55 pages of this book to be quite eventful not only in the advanced vocabulary but the evens that happen. We meet an orphan boy named Pip. He lives with his sister who is married to a blacksmith. When we first meet these two i feel that they are poor and have no money. When We meet his sisters husband Joe the blacksmith he seems like a nice guys so far.


The first even that happens is Pip meets a very Scary and strange man. I think that this man will have something to do with the plot and setting of the story. I think he will effect the setting because he is always in the marshes and that takes Pip to the marshes which changes the setting. I think he will have a strong effect on Pip in the story because he is making him steal things from his own family. He makes Pip steal food from his sisters pantry and steal a file from Joe. I often thought of why the man had an iron on his leg.


When they have Christmas dinner at Pips house he is very observatory about when his sister goes by the pantry or out of the room. When i think of Pip i think of some kind of little mouse who is quiet and doesn't have much to say but is curios about everything. He questions every thing but never says anything else about anything.
