Great Expectations is a novel by Charles Dickens, a famous writer from England. It is the story of the orphan Pip’s life.
The character in this novelgave
me the deep impression was fell in love with Estella. Educating himself for the girl,Pip studied as hard as he could.
Why did he love Estella so much? Not for her beautiful face,her treasure . Pip paid out so much for the love.
AlthoughEstella didnt treat him well and even that she didnt respect him at all! She put the food for him as a dog,but he didnt hate her. On the contrary, he left from his home with Pip/s friends. Pip just wanted to be a gentleman.
He abandoned a lot than he got. I cant understand why he do it in this way. I think its not worth at all. If one person dont like you or not respect you,
you neednt do everything for her. So it made me quite sad.
I feel sorry for Pip. He had a very difficult life... Miss Havisham is also
a character who left me a deep impression .She was a poor lady. Her mother died young. Her farther was very rich and very proud
with only one child, Miss Havisham, is his first wife.
In fact, Miss Havisham should have a nice life,
but her wedding was destroyed by her fiance.
He broke her heart and she was angry.
She wanted to retaliate all men. She was really a kind woman. But she chose a wrong way to continue her life. Miss Havisham wanted to hurt other persons.
And she had done. This was not good for her. Only made her feel a little comfortable but there were also more victims in the world.
The above is what I get from the novel in the textbook and to conclude my opinion in one sentence, I should say that people should not depend on others.
Impression of a book of Great Expectation Went to the bookstore during theholiday, I chose a book from a lot of world masterpieces, named Great Expectation, when I pick up this book, I have not expected that such an English book will have a so great impact on me, making my thoughts and feelings very deep, I think that theform and content of this book are all very outstanding. It is written by Charles Dickens,a famous writter from England,and it is not I will turn to thetopic on how it can attract me.
The character in this masterpiece left me the deep impression is falls in lovewith studied as hard as he himself for did helove Estella so much? Just for her beautiful face? because she is pretty? She is rich? She is proud? In fact, I think Pip pay out so much for the didnt treat him well and even that she didnt respect him at all! She put the food for him as a dog,but he didnt hate her.
On the contrary, he left from his home and his friends. He just want to be a abandoned a lot than he got. I cant understand why he do it in this way. I think its not worth at all. If one person dont like you or not respect you,you neednt do everything for her. So it made me quite feel sorry for Pip. He had a very difficult life... Miss Havisham is aslo a character who left me a deep was a pitiful mother died young.
Her farther was very rich and very only one child,Miss Havisham,by his first fact, she should have a nice life,but her wedding was destroied by her broke her heart and she was want to retaliate all was really a abject she chose a wrong way to continue her life..She wanted to hurt other she had is no good for made her feel a little there was more victims in the are so many persons in the they were hurt they want to hurt other innocent persons.
Athough this is no good for them,but they did do not know why they did the world full of is difficult to understand. Thats my thought.
Recently, I have finished reading Great Expectations, which is widely considered as the
masterpiece of Dickens. The historic background of this book is Victorian Period which was the time when British was governed by Queen Victoria. The hero of the book is Pip, who was living in a blacksmith family. Someday, he met Magwitch, who was a convict, and he helped him. To show his gratitude, Magwitch gave Pip a good fortune and Pip led a totally different life after he got the money. However, Pip lost all of his money and fame because of his enemies’ plot at the last and become ordinary people at the last.
Dickens is famous for his novel such as Great Expectations, the Tale of Two Cities, Oliver Twist and so on. He always creates some people in lower class and show their different qualities. In Great Expectations, he tried to show us the conflict between different classes in Victorian
Period by telling us the story of Pip. After Pip got the money, he left his friends and family to city, and then he learned to raise his social state. However, he was a child born in a blacksmith family and there’s a wide gap between him and the upper class. Finally, he lost all of his great
expectations and went back to his hometown as ordinary people. Fortunately, he met his lover, Estella, in Satis House and they left there together at the end of the story.
In the book, my favorite character is Joe, Pip’s brother in law. He was a blacksmith and belonged to the lower social class. However, he possessed some good qualities that made him noble. For example, though Joe didn’t know any word, he thought highly of Pip when Pip tried to write him a letter. What’s more, Pip’s sister always considered Pip as the burden of their family but Joe always believed that his brother can become successful. No matter how unkindly he was treated, Joe was always family to others. Undoubtedly, it’s Joe’s noble quality that prevents Pip from becoming someone snobbish.
In my opinion, the story of Pip is really attractive while the writing style is also special. For example, Dickens used simile and metaphor for many times in his book. When Joe visited Pip, Dickens wrote that Joe had taken his hat as a bird’s nest with egg in. I think it’s hard to show the inner world of characters as well as feeling because those things are really abstract. On the other hand, if we write it directly, that may be boring and childish. And by using simile, Dickens transforms the abstract feeling into visual language, with which we can use our imagination to enjoy the story much more easily. I think that we can also make good use of Dickens’s outstanding skills to improve our writing.
After reading “Great Expectations”, many people complained that the class difference will always result in tragedy and they think that we should try to destroy those barriers. However, I think the massage that Dickens wants to deliver is that we should always be friendly,
warm-hearted and optimistic. With these qualities, we can always lead a happy and comfortable life like Joe even though we don’t have much money.
