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.

Nina,
ReplyDeleteYou need to discuss something specific that happens in chapters 20-29 in this blog post. You should be able to fix this before it's due by going to "edit posts."
Good luck!
