Great Expectations: First Stage

In this quote Pip is referring to one moment that well affect the rest of that persons life. That this moment is a chain of cause and effect, and whatever happend will change and shape the life of this person. The day he spent at Miss Havisham's house altered his life because now he loves Estella, is growing to know Miss Havisham and building a bond. Later events that happen in the book are going to becaused just because of going to that house. Pip's character has developed because I think now he is growing up, time has passed between the previous chapters and this one. I can tell because of the way Pip talks and describes things, he no longer sounds like a six or seven year old. I think a memerable moment for me would be when i first started at an Art Academy. I was young, about five or six, I had be enrolled because I was shy and this would help me be more outgoing. Obviously it worked, and also my love of music and acting blossmed form this experience. Today my passion (chain) can be traced back to that time because thats when I was first introduced to the arts.

Group Essay on Dishonesty....

In my paragraph for the group essay my three main ideas on pursuit of pleasure are bunbury for Jack, bunbury for Algernon, and Cecily's diary. For Jack i talked about how he was "Jack in town and Ernest in the country" and how it was an escape to see Gwendolen. For Algernon it was about him inventing "an invaluable permanent invaild called Bunbury" and he used it to avoid his reponsibilities like dining with Aunt Augusta. To conclude i used Cecilys jornal as for her pursuit of pleasure because she uses it as a fanasy world where her and Algernon are living a perfect world. These all support the thesis because it talks about how people lie for their own gain.
