GREAT EXPECTATIONS?
What are some plot events in Great expectations that show that money doesnt guarentee happiness?
Answer: The exixtence of Ms. Havisham would attest to that fact. She's loaded, but do you see her smiling? No. She's miserable and bitter. The only joy she gets is having Estella crush young boys' hopes and dreams. There are probably other examples, but it's been over 7 years since I read that book, and it really wasn't all that good to begin with.

What are some good quotes from GREAT EXPECTATIONS that describe Joe?
I need some good quotes from the book Great expectations that show Mr.Joes personality and how honest he is and how he helps Pip and just general quotes that show what hes like.
Answer: But I did mind you, Pip," he returned, with tender ... simplicity. "When I offered to your sister to keep company, and to be asked in church at such times as she was willing and ready to come to the forge, I said to her, 'And bring the poor little child. God bless the poor little child,' I said toyour sister, 'there's room for him at the forge!'" (1.7.3)
Thought: All this talk about Mrs. Joe being a superhero and bringing Pip up "by hand" is just plain silly when we hear this story. Joe is responsible for the adoption of Pip. If Joe hadn’t intervened, who knows where Pip would have ended up.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS?
I am doing a report on Ms. Havisham, (from Great expectations by Charles Dickens), and i need help with these questions. If you can answer any of them it would be really helpful, thanx :)
age?
voice quality?
occupation?--does she really have one?
friends?
animal likeness?
Answer: I don't believe her age is specified, nor is her 'voice quality' explored a lot. Her occupation is being a lady--being rich, basically. She's cut herself off from teh world and entombed herself into the single worst moment of her life, so she has no friends. Her companion is Estella, who she breeds into a maneater, and for awhile, Pip.
If I had to compare her to an animal...it'd be a buzzard. She seems sincerely buzzard-like to me, surrounded by all that decay.

What are the two ending of GREAT EXPECTATIONS?
I have to know the two different endings of the book "Great expectations" by Charles Dickens but i dont know what they are. Can you describe please?
Answer: The original ending was changed by Charles Dickens, because it wasn't a happy ending and his friend and fellow author, Wilkie Collins, objected to it. That ending shows Estella having already remarried to a doctor and, thus, being separated from Pip forever. This http://victorian.lang.nagoya-u.ac.jp/victorianweb/authors/dickens/ge/ending.html is the original ending, which was discarded by Charles Dickens. This site http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/english/melani/novel_19c/dickens/ending.html tells you a bit more about the original ending.
The second ending written by Charles Dickens, the one he used, hints that Estella and Pip will get together eventually. This http://www.classicreader.com/book/52/59/ is the last chapter of Great expectations as it was published, as we know it.

Many of the events from Dickens’s early life are mirrored in Great expectations, which, apart from David Copperfield, is his most autobiographical novel. Pip, the novel’s protagonist, lives in the marsh country, works at a job he hates, considers himself too good for his surroundings, and experiences material success in London at a very early age, exactly as Dickens himself did.

How would i explain the meaning of childhood in GREAT EXPECTATIONS?
What is the meaning of childhood in Great expectations? Im trying to think what it means but not sure how to go about it.Can anyone help ?
Answer: It is an integral part of the story as we follow the developoment of Pip's character from youth to maturity. Many of the incidents in his youth will have a bearing on what happens later in the novel, some with unexpected twists and others showing cause and effect. Much of it is based loosely on Dickens' own childhood - the settings such as Satis House and Romney Marshes.

How is GREAT EXPECTATIONS relevant to a modern audience?
Great expectations by Charles Dickens deals with a number of social issues including social class, abusive relationships and laws governing prisoners. Would Pip have encountered similar issues if he lived in modern times? How is the novel relevant to a modern audience?
Id be so grateful if you could help :)
Answer: Some social issues never disappear. Some people with a narcissistic personality type, or a person who has no confidence in themself must control an another human being to feel they have any self worth. This is why Miss Havisham raised Estella as she did.
We still see this type of behavior today. Many parents live vicariously though their children, even to the point of dictating how they should think.

What is the theme of GREAT EXPECTATIONS and how can I incorporate it in a collage?
I have to make a collage based on a theme in the book Great expectations, written by Charles Dickens. I know some of the themes but I cannot think of how I can incorporate it in a collage? Any ideas on the theme and how it can be incorportated in a collage is greatly appreciated
Answer: Some of the themes in Great expectations are social class, ambition and self-improvement, and crime, guilt, innocence (so says spark notes).
When I had to write essays for the book I wrote about importance of relationships and social classes.
To illustrate these themes you could always put together a collage of the finer things next to the "normal".
Or ambition with people running, mountain climbing, anything with people looking determined.
There was also unrequited love, so you make things that relate to love in the shape of a broken heart.

In the book GREAT EXPECTATIONS, who makes signifigant sacrifices, and what were they?
In the book Great expectations, who makes signifigant sacrifices, and what were they? Did it show the charicteristics of thier true personality?
Answer: Joe Gargery makes the biggest, most significant sacrifices, in my opinion. He gives up Pip's indentures to be apprenticed to him in his work (see chapter 13 of the 1st book). By so doing, he is freeing Pip to go to Miss Havisham's as often as she wants and also to begin studying to become a gentleman. This means both a loss of money and the loss of a necessary worker to Joe, but he willingly and unselfishly does it because he loves Pip and refuses to stand in Pip's way.
Joe pays off all of Pip's debts (towards the end of the book, just after Magwitch dies) and keeps Pip from going to debtor's prison and doesn't even want any thanks. Again, he loves Pip and willingly makes himself much poorer for Pip's sake.
Joe also suffers in silence when Pip acts ashamed of him (that's what becoming a gentleman does for Pip), and loves him anyway. In fact, Joe never gets angry with Pip for his treatment of him, continues to love him, has patience with him and forgives him completely.
Joe is the best person in the entire book!

GREAT EXPECTATIONS?
Hi, I have a project to do about the story called Great expectations by Charles Dickens, and I have to act it (skit) and I want to be Pip, what could I say? I dont have any partner by my self?
Answer: Then I would suggest a monologue or soliloquy where Pip expresses his innermost feelings to himself. Pick any one of a dozen key scenes or consider several short scenes from throughout the novel.
You could pick an early scene where Pip is frightened because the man on the moor threatened him and bade him come back with a file and vittles. You can imagine what thoughts would be going through the young Pip's mind. Should he tell Joe or his sister? Is there really a young man who will harm them if he fails to do as the convict tells him? Will Mrs. Joe realize he stole some food? All of these questions, he give voice to.
Or pick a scene where he has just met the beautiful, but haughty Estella. What does he think of her? How does she make him fee? Or the first time he meets the strange and mysterious Miss Havisham.
A more creative project might be to take two characters and have an imaginary conversation- one that could have taken place in the the novel, but did not. Dickens is sort of vague about whether Estella and Pip are together at the end (there are two endings and the second ending suggests they did, but it is only a suggestion. You could extend the story and end it with a conversation between Pip and Estella or anyone else.
You could also conduct a one sided dialogue where you take one part and the other person's responses are clearly understood, but only by what your character is saying- they aren't actually voiced.
Have fun with this- there isn't really a right or wrong way to do this.
And I would add that Pip is an incredibly complex character- a young boy who yearns to be a gentleman, but he becomes terribly conflicted when he realizes his rise in society has come at the terrible cost of his relationship with Joe. He feels guilty throughout this novel at the snobbish, shallow man he has become and he realizes at the end just how false all his hope and dreams where. If you capture this, then you have captured the essence of Pip.
