Reading Assignment 2

Pip then encounters another convict, in which the reader should think that the convict is like the other one. Charles Dickens then lets the reader know how the Gargerys celebrate Christmas. They celebrate it by going to church and then having a dinner with everybody. Dickens then explains what is Pip's state of mind while the dinner is going on. The reader should think that Pip is upset, annoyed, and is being irritated by the people at the table, because he just cant take it anymore. Since Pip was being irritated he ran outside, in which he ran into soldiers, who were looking for the two convicts that escaped. While they were looking for the convicts, Pip is feeling worried and sad, because he already met these convicts and doesn't want anything to happen to them. Pip then feels that he shouldn't tell the truth about the convicts and about him taking the bread from his house to give to the convict, because he feels that a person that is starving is more important then being a bad person. The reader then figures out about how Pip didn't really have an education, but Mr. Joe was teached by Mr. Wopsle's great aunt, named Biddy. Then you find out that Pip is going to Miss Havisham's house to play and to learn.
