beginning of the story he is at a marsh country down by the river. 2. Briefly describe the convict. What evidence is there that the convict has "human" qualities and is not merely a criminal? The convict is a fearful man all in coarse gray‚ with a great iron on his leg‚ no hat‚ with broken shoes‚ and had an old rag tied around his head. The evidence that supports that the convict has human qualities is he somewhat shows compassion when seeing Pip’s dead parents so he does not rob him he just scares

Expectations “Expectations”…what do you think of? “Great Expectations” by Charles Dickens maybe? Whatever the case‚ all people have expectations. It could be something they expect of others‚ or something they expect of themselves. It is something you look forward to in the future.

WHO IS MISS HAVISHAM? (Analysing the life of Miss Havisham and Dickens’s use of grammar) Miss Havisham and Satis House‚ both in ruins‚ represent wealth and social status for Pip the servant boy; the irony is obvious. Their decayed state prefigures the emptiness of Pip’s dream of rising in social status and of so being worthy of Estella the adopted daughter of Miss Havisham. With them‚ Dickens extends his spoof of society from the abuse of children and criminals to the corruption of wealth. Miss

Chapter 1 1. The parrot says “Allez vous-en! Allez vous-en! Sapristi! That’s all right!” (Chopin 5). It means “Get out! Get out! Damn it!” The words foreshadow something tragic to occur in the end of the novel. The parrot is also caged and also speaks a language in which only the mockingbird can understand. The parrot symbolizes Edna Pontillier who seems to only be understood by some but not all and seems to be beside herself because her husband doesn’t seem to notice her. 2. Leonce Pontellier

The doctor called me to his room on Sunday. I was very hesitant when I walked up the stairs as the door was opened which never happens and the firelight was flickering. I knocked on the door as quietly‚ but still loud enough to get his attention. He was so drawn into the flames burning that when he looked up he smiled at me very weakly. Just like he always did he quivered and I knew it was not from the fire that caused him to turn away. I walked in the room and he gave me an order written on a piece

What kind of book is this? List three evidences of this. I would say that this book falls under the category of being a romantic fiction novel. This isn’t a true story and it also is about a two people falling in and out of love and making big decisions so that’s why I would say it is a romantic fiction novel. “Everyone wanted to believe that endless love was possible. She’d believed in it once‚ too‚ back when she was eighteen.” pg 55. “By the time summer ended‚ he knew he was in love‚ and when
