Ths reading coverd the chapters of 32-45. Its was a great and eventfull reading.
In the first part of the reading Pip gets a suprising letter from Estella ordering him to meet ther at the London train station. I find this to be very odd because of the fact that she doesnt like Pip as far as i can tell from the way she treats him at Mrs. Havishams house. If Pip likes her so much why doesnt he just confront her about the feelns he has about her to her face so maybe she wont treat him with such ignorance and hatred all the time. Pip gets to the train staion to find Wemmick standing there. Pip is suprised to see him there as well. Wemmick takes Pip on kind of a short tour around the Newgate Prison. Now in Pips defense i am kind of seeing something fishy going on with Wemmick taking him to meet a person that is sentanced to be hung. Just for the reason that maybe Wemmick is trying to say something to Pip. Pip finally meets up with Estella after the short tour he had of the prison. Pip still doesnt really know why she treats him with sucjh direspect. He is just too much in love with her to realize half of the things she does to him when they are together. He feels that it is his destiny to be married. I myself think that is just the foreshadowing coming intop play from when earlier in the book Mrs. Havisham always has them together doing thing and being together just so they can have something that she never had in ther life. Pip later walks her under the dim light streets of London and tries to make it kind of romantic but just as usuall Estella just gives him to cold shoulder and doesnt even trat Pip as if he is a human being.
When Pip returns back to the Pockets that night he is notified that Mrs. Joe has died and Pip returns home immediatly the next day for the funeral.
