This week was, you guessed it! Great Expectations. I had an absolute blast this week, it was as if I was stepping a bit into my past. This book was something that I had enjoyed as high schooler but never got to sit down and discuss it as a class or with any of my friends. I had the opportunity to do so with my online class and got to participate and finally dissect the book a little. There was some dissecting that I had already done on my own. Pip's aunt and her abusive attitude and Joe's sympathetic but submissive attitude towards what happens to Pip. Some of the discussions that came up that I had not considered before was Estella's attitude towards Pip and then what the actual Great Expectations turned Pip into. He lost sight of his family and became hurtful towards his old home and those left within it. Overall it was a very interesting but entertaining week.
ciao 4 now,
