Pip's Determination

In the book, Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens, we learn that Pip is determined, selfless, and has a good moral sense. Pip had a rough childhood; he was raised by his abusive older sister and her husband and lived a poor lifestyle.

Pip always listened to his conscience when it came to deciding whether to do what was wrong or make the right choice. When Pip made mistakes, his good morals helped him to fix the situation.
