He is a round, dynamic character due to his changes throughout the story. He never bores you and never leaves you wondering about him. He never really had an internal conflict other than a temporary heart break. The heartbreak wasn't caused by himself, but caused by Estella/ Miss. Havisham in which makes it external. He had a few other external conflicts like dealing with the little boy who tried to fight him for a kiss from Estella and fighting Bentley Drummle for Estella. he also fought the government by protecting Abel. Pip was very helpful and caring throughout the story which makes him your stereotypical nice guy who gets put in to difficult situations.]]> 2019-03-22 17:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344312541 autumnehrhart https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344312720 The antagonist can be more than one person.
 -Bentley Drummle, whom married Estella to get at Pip and overall was rude to Pip. He is a flat static character because there isn't much information on him other than the fact that he is rich and ignorant.
-Miss. Havisham, who pushed Estella to break Pips heart. She starts off flat until Pip meets Henry whom tells Pip more about Miss. Havisham and why she is the was she is. She remains a static character because she doesn't really change. All she does is have her servants cater to her while watching Estella break hearts. All she does is dwell over her marriage. She never leaves her wedding room and always has a ragedy dress on that catches on fire, killing her.
- Estella, who broke Pips heart by being very rude to him. She is a round, dynamic character due to Pip's actions being revolved around the way she continues to change.
-Orlick, who killed Mrs. Joe and attempted to kill Pip. Orlick was overall a bad guy. He tried getting to Pip but before he did, Pip told Jaggers and Jaggers removed Orlick from wofrking with him.]]> 2019-03-22 17:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344312720 autumnehrhart https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344312897 John Wemmick is a minor character because he didn't really play a big part, but he was a good messenger and did give a bit of advice to Pip.
Mr. Pumblechook is a minor character because all he did was talk down on pip at the table and raid his house when Mrs. Joe died. Mr. Pumblechook did nothing to benefit the story.

Rising Action: Pip has a secret sense of guilt due to helping out a convict by betraying his household. Pip falls in love with a rich woman's daughter, Estella. Pip visits and tries to impress Estella but it does not work. Pip gets sent home and told never to come back to the Satis house. All Pip wanted to be is a gentleman. Overtime, Mrs. Joe passes away.
Climax: Mr. Jaggers gives pip a visit telling Pip that he has an offer on the table from a secret man to help him become a gentleman. Pip takes the offer and leaves Mr. Joe Gargery alone. 
Falling Action: Pip meets a few men and starts learning to become a gentleman. The convict is in his house when he gets home and it turns out, the convict, Abel Magwich, supplied Pip with all he had in order to pay him back for throwing away his innocence as a kid and risking his life. The convict saw Pip as his son. It turns out that the convict was still a convict which got him and Pip in to a lot of trouble for being as the convict escaped from the hulks just to see Pip. But, since Magwich helped pip, pip didn't leave him all alone.
Resolution: Magwich ends up dying after being injured in the river and Pip returns home where he see's Biddy and Joe getting married. He then runs in to Estella and they go off together because Miss. Havisham and Bentley Drummle died, so they are no longer being held back.]]> 2019-03-22 17:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344316594 autumnehrhart https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344317043 The author used a first person point of view to make the reader see what pip saw, and to place them in pips shoes so they can imagine how he felt throughout it all.

This time period affected the way the story went because they traveled by horses, they had to use letters and notes to communicate, and the way people did things was based off of others.

Universal theme: The importance of relationships to humans' happiness fulfillment.
Throughout the story, Pip was worried about becoming a rich, handsome, gentleman for Estella and Miss. Havisham. He went away to improve himself, leaving his family behind. While he was gone, he missed out on a lot of things that had happened throughout his family like: Joe and Biddy's marrriage, the decaying of the Satis house, and much more. He wanted estella. Without her, he was miserable. He did all he could to be with her. When he left Joe, Joe was sad, in which took away his happiness.]]> 2019-03-22 17:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344319136 autumnehrhart https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344320879 The significance of the title is based off of how Pip was raised. He was a young boy who was raised poorly until he met a rich woman, Miss. Havisham, and a young lady, Estella. Growing up, he was expected to be rich and to be a gentleman from his family. All he wanted to do was impress Estella, Miss. Havisham, Mrs. Joe, and Joe. Everybody had Great Expectations of him. ]]> 2019-03-22 17:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344320879 autumnehrhart https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344322057 2019-03-22 17:28:54 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344322057 autumnehrhart https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344322363 2019-03-22 17:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344322363 autumnehrhart https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344322560 2019-03-22 17:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344322560 autumnehrhart https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344322760 2019-03-22 17:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344322760 autumnehrhart https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344323252 2019-03-22 17:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344323252 autumnehrhart https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344324298 2019-03-22 17:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344324298 autumnehrhart https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344325128 The tone of the novel is dark. The novel consisted of a chain of bad things happening. Overall, Pip had a rough life. It was full of death, secrets, and heartbreak. When Estella kept rejecting Pip, it was a hard time for him. When Pip was busy protecting Magwich, it put a lot of pressure on Pip and it made him risk his life hiding from the soldiers.]]> 2019-03-22 17:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344325128 autumnehrhart https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344326770 Gruff - 88 -

This was a time where segregation was still a thing. Gays were not accepted and would be executed due to a very religious background of Christianity.

In 1812 , the war between England and the US occurred. In 1829, Robert Peel started the police force which was most likely a drastic change for pip. uring his childhood, it was the soldiers that took out the convicts. If they were looking for convicts now, the police would get them and handcuff them andsend them to a penetentary and not a ship. ]]> 2019-03-22 17:36:50 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344327771 autumnehrhart https://padlet.com/autumnehrhart/greatexpectations/wish/344327840 During this time period, education was barely a thing. There weren't big schools like there are today. They had mini school houses with one teacher. Joe didn't even know how to read. Back then, everything was mainly self taught by the observations of people around you. Houses were poorly built and there was less security. You were either wealthy and had a lot of friends, or poor with a small amount of people to rely on. If you were poor, you got made fun of (not saying its any better now, but it was worse back then).

     He means he has the iron weights that convicts have.
What is mince meat?
Why is Mrs. Joe so hard on Pip?
     It was the way she was raised. She never really wanted kids until Joe 'made her' take in orphaned Pip.
Why does Miss. Havisham keep her wedding dress on?
     She hasn't taken it off since her wedding day because she was left on her wedding day and became cold hearted. 
Why is the little boy randomly trying to fight Pip?
     I believe that he was trying to fight him by request of Estella to see if Pip would fight. I never really found it out.
Who is Pips secret ambassador?
     The convict from the beginning of the story, named Abel Magwich.
Why is Bentley Drummle trying to be with Estella if he doesn't really want her?
     It is Miss. Havisham's request.
Why does Jaggers follow everything his clients tell him even if it goes against another clients wishes?
     He does it because what his clients tell him to do, he does. In the story he said, "It is the law." I also believe it has to do with whoever gives him more money gets their wishes granted to them more full.
Why did Herbert call Pip "Handel?"
     Because Pip was a blacksmith. 
Why doesn't Pip call 911 when Miss. Havisham caught on fire?
     Its not that easy. back then, they didn't have police until late 1829.
