Pip's Quote

I think the quote refers to the chain in a symbolic way to show that each choice you make in your life can change the rest of your life and thats just how we learn and grow. If we didn't have right or wrong choices we would never be able to learn. And the chain you have to start out with a link and as you go on you add off of that and as choices you add of choices to make new choices in life. And I guess this quote is saying that the chain is life and that chain is always going to grow as we go through life.

Great Expectations,the Second Stage

I think that the new characters enhance the themes and motifs by showing Pip how to grow from right and wrong because one of the motifs in this book is a guilty conscience and in the first stage Pip told Joe that he fibbed about what it was like in Miss Havishams house and Joe told him not to lie and how it was bad to lie and Pip seemed to grow a bit from that because Joe is someone Pip deeply looks up to. And Pip grows in different ways as he begins to meet new characters. When he meet Estella he began to be ashamed about Joe who he did look up too and as he Progreesses to think or be aound Estella in the firstx stage he becomes more marterialistic about his life and what he wants do do with it, where he lives, and unfortnatly his family. And another one of the motifs is being ashamed and hopfully over the second stage Pip becomes a gentlman who respects where he came from originally.

5 Part Paragraphs

When our class was doign 5 part paragraphs I saw the most frequent mistake was imbedding quotes. This I had trouble on too. I didn't know how to put the page number in with my sentence and from what I saw that was what other had trouble on too, but from watching myself and others get marked down for that and why I think now I have a handle on what I was doing wrong.

I also saw that commentary was also something the class had trouble with. This I too had trouble on. We didn't have enough commentary to support out point or we had it going off topic from what we were trying to prove. I can definitly see why it is important to stay on topic but stayign on it was something I keep on having trouble with.

Something Intersting

In our group we discussed the poem "Lobsters". We discussed a lot but what really caught my eye about the it was when they said how they described the colors of the lobster to death. I'm very into poetry but this peom didn't seem very appealing to me so I didn't see much into it; i read what it said but never really looked into it, they meaning it was trying to put out.

Another discussion point that was brought up to me was when they someone brought up how the lobster looked from the outside, they said something about being exoctic. For me I would never put two and two together. I think i did'nt quite get that becasue it didn't seem interesting so it might have been the way I was readidng it. Now I know that i shouldn't judge every poem from the first line becasue I found out new things from this poem discussion.
