Reading 3 of Great Expectations

This reading covered pages 113 to 176 in the book. I found this part of the book to be more of an understanding part of life for Pip. He is starting to be more open minded abput going to London and he wakes up every morning and has bright thoughts about the trip. When he goes back to say goodbye to Mrs. Havisham he is locked in the courtyard because he is visiting unexpectedly. When Pip goes top say goodbye he is is kind of sad that he has to leave from the coountry side, but on the other hand he wants to go to London to become a gentleman.


Mr. Pumblechook invites Pip to his house for a celebration dinner and for wine to celebrate. I myself would not take the offer of food because of the way he is trated by Mr. Pumblechook. He treats him like he has no respect fo his personal being. For example when they are at dinner in the beginning of the book he is always putting Pip down and telling him he is always wrong.


I feel that there might be a chemistry between Biddy and Pip bcause of the way they feel about eachother. Biddy has feelings for Pip and she feels with a great amount of love towards Pip. Pip on the other hand doesnt have as strong of feelings toward Biddy.


When Pip is in London he finds out that the high life is all it cracked up to be. The

  1. I agree with you when you say that there is chemistry between Biddy and Pip. I think that they would make a way better couple then Pip and Estella, but I wonder why Pip is so attracted to Estella and can't see that Biddy likes him so much.
